Mod to pick seasons

[Brandon 9]

To be exactly, on my server actually is autumn and i don't like that, all other seasons are ok. Is there a mod i just can move forward to winter and then everything moves on normally, like spring and summer then ? I don't want to set the season myself every time, i just would like to get rid of autumn;)

There is a client-side mod which only affects the displayed season if that's what you are looking for. Everything harvestable still ripens as normal but you can set it to always show spring models on trees and so on.

Sounds interesting. So i could use  a..say summer model until the autumn on my server is over, and then switch off the seasons-mod to enjoy my "real" seasons on my server again ?

 

(How many real days is a WU-season, do you know ?)

There is a handy table here ^

 

Also, i didn't use this mod but if i understand correctly, you don't have to disable the mod, you can simply set it to make autumn super short and replace that time with summer/winter and it will do just that, once winter comes, you will see snow and so on.

 

 

There is also Bdew's NoWinter mod which can be set to show a specific season all the time:

Well the Bdew-mod "no winter" would be awesome if it is possible to set it to "no autumn"..so all seasons run one after the other, just after summer starts winter..is that working, do you know ?

I don't think it can do that, looking at the properties it can either make the game always show a specific season of your choice or show all except winter.

 

Spoiler

# Setting this will lock the season on the client to value regardless of server date
# 0 = winter / 1 = spring / 2 = summer / 3 = fall
# -1 = disabled (default) - seasons will change normally but skip winter
lockSeason=-1

What if i set "lockSeason= -3" ?

Shouldn't that stop fall from appearing ?

 

Maybe another possibility could be the other mod "SeasonConfigureMod":

 

# Any one of these set to true will result in the temperature options not getting used.
# Setting more then one to true will use whichever option comes first, top to bottom.
# false : default setting. This makes the mod use the temperature cosine wave to determine season.
# true : Sets the season to always be that type. 
isSummerAlways=false
isFallAlways=false
isWinterAlways=false
isSpringAlways=false

What, if i set here all to "true" and keep fall on "false" ? Wouldn't all except fall run then ?

(asking that much because i cannot access my server right now)

Someone who has used those mods would have to reply to those questions but i suspect that -3 is not an argument accounted for, it's either 0,1,2,3 or -1 (could be wrong, if you test it, let us know please).

If it is always Summer, then it can't also be always Winter and always Spring. That would mean it is always Summer/Winter/Spring.

@Batta: my hope is, when exluding fall with the false-command and i activate the rest, they will run through as usual.

If you read the comment above the options, that will not be the case.

I guess, when it was possible to make a mod excluding winter, then it would be possible to make a mod excluding fall ?

Can a scripter please make such a mod ? It seems its not much work, one just has to know what to do.
