Anemometers and equipment for ProtoManly's weather
This mod adds equipment for measuring wind speeds in ProtoManly's weather (https://modrinth.com/mod/protomanlys-weather). The mod currently adds:
A metal wind vane
A wind chime that emitts sounds
A handheld anemometer
The mod will not work without PM weather.
To setup a channel on anemometers, shift+right click the anemometer. No item should be held by either left or right hand at the time. That includes shields
To setup a channel on display, right click the display. Anemometer and display must have same channel to communicate.
Channel 0 is non transmitting and is used for debugging. If anemometer channel could not be set, try setting it to 0 and then back to desired channel.
There are currently 100 available channels.
Right clicking anemometer will display it's channels that server and client see. This number must always be equal. The feature now remains in the mod for debugging.
Anemometer GUI will display "Channel could not be set because placement is invalid" This is the case:
For setting up the redstone output, it is quite same as setting the channels. You put in the wind speed at which the display should output the redstone signal. It is not possible to set less that 4 mph due to histeresis (to prevent spam). Because the system is based on mph, other units might not be able to be set at increments of 1. This mostly applies to kmh.
Redstone output is only on wind displays.
Use /windmeter commands to find out which channels are occupied, which are free or get anemometer location by channel number. Sometimes, the channels might bug out, use command clear channel [channel number] to clean up the broken channel. This will not remove the channel from anemometer itself. The anemometer locating and channel clearing command require operator permissions.
To reset max values on display, shift+right click the display when not holding any items.
Wind strengths for anemometers are about:
These will be readjusted when/if wind engine block picking gets an update
Wind sock requires it's dedicated pole to be placed on.
Garden windmill requires it's dedicated tower to be placed on.
Handheld anemometer measures the windspeeds while in main hand. It will record and save maximum wind speeds per-item. If you have heavy tick lag, current wind speeds will vary from maximum due to maximum speeds being read from server side. The maximum speed is always the correct one and also the one that does the block destruction, so more relevant. To avoid delay and lag, the current speed is read on client side.
Pre update 0.0.19t: Wind and weather display obey the PM weather config and will switch between metric or imperial based on that.
After update 0.0.19t: Wind meter uses it's separate config to select desired wind speed and temperature units separately, allowing mixed imperial/metric.
The display will currently not record speed if not chunk loaded. Tornado passing over should make it record because the tornadoes load chunks. However, the tornado must pass over the chunk that display is in. Example: Your base has a display in the shelter and anemometer on roof. If tornado passes over your base it should record the event.
Weather display shows more data but refreshes slower and caps at 999 kmh. Due to calling the readings for risks it is not recommended to place down too many of them.
Tornado probes record atmospheric data for 5 minutes (configurable) after being placed down. They currently record max wind, max temp, min temp, max dew point and min dew point. After 5 minutes, they stop recording and reward can be dropped upon shift+right-clicking the probe if measured winds were high enough (only after it's done recording). Breaking the probe won't drop any items. Rewards are: iron ingots, gold ingots, diamonds, emeralds, netherite scraps and a netherite ingot. Probes drop experience based on wind speeds they measured and exposure time. Current data is shown by right-clicking the probe, maximum data is shown by shift-right clicking the probe. A probe monitor can be used to right click and connect to the probe while it's recording. It ticks in inventory, saves max wind and allows for remote wind reading.
All items and blocks are craftable in survival mode. I suggest using JEI or other recipe viewers to see the recipes.
Versions after 0.0.19t have some configurable options.
Wind display text and numbers can be set to any color, but it has to be input as a base 10 number. Use online calculator converter to change the hexadecimal color number to base 10 number and paste that in the config. Example color 0xff6347 (16) -> 16737095 (10). You only convert the ff6347 part (without 0x or #).
Wind displays can also use dynamic colors that will change based on wind speed from blue to purple. Configuration is only available for wind display and not weather display.
The wind sock tearing off in high winds and garden windmill bending can now be turned off in config. This is server sided. The blockstrength for tornado picking up is not affected by this.
No mods currently add natural spawning.
