It's impossible. The weather is saved into your rep like your players movement, theres nothing you can do to change it.

You can change the weather of the replay into clear blue sky for example, so think again.

Yeah, changing the colours of the sky seems to be fine, and can be done through timecyc editing, but when it comes to adding/removing (not sure about 'removing' - just assuming) clouds that weren't already there, thats the problem.

I had some potential results with the old Weather Tool 1.5. I was able to get clouds into a replay which was recorded with a clear blue sky, but the clouds kept flashing. I think it's worth looking into, could you bright people take a look at it?

I've gotten the same thing Brull. When I made a little prog to change the weather via memory editing, it worked fine in normal gameplay, but during replays, all it did was make it have seizures (I assume either the same, or a similar, thing as you, with the clouds flashing). I guess my thing was essentially doing the same thing that the program you found was.

On another note, I started delving deeper into memory editing, and I found my first ever useful memory address (previously I'd just look at already documented ones on GTAForums), it felt pretty cool

ok, you can change the colour of the sky but.. you can't change and add clouds or anything

I should be in bed by now but I am now addicted to trying to figure this out.
Most importantly, I think I may have hit the jackpot.
More soon.

If we could find a way to decrypt it

Soon = now.

As far as I can tell its a success.
I just tested on a rep that I had previously recorded with perfect sunny (no clouds) weather, and I was able to change the weather IN the replay to whatever I wanted - foggy, cloudy, sunny w/ clouds, rainy.
Cool!
I'll send out a quick test to Brulla so I can get an independent test (to make sure that its not 'just me' that its working for).

Will you make a tut for us?

Dannye is a frigging genious.

Yeah, he was able to crack it. There are some minor problems in some replays (haven't located what's causing the problem yet), but in most of the replays, it works like a charm!

As for your question DarkPhoenix, I'm sure he will release it soon. Knowing Dannye, I think he wants to try to solve the few minor problems before releasing it.

Three big hip hip hurrays to the brilliant Dannye!

Thanks Brulla.
@DP: Brulla pretty much covered your question. I probably wont release a tutorial, but I'd be happy to release a tool for doing it, once the kinks (if possible) are ironed out.

^good news im gonna download it when you release it

Told ya who'd most likely be able to crack this Great work Dannye. Now Brulla will stop bringing this up

finallight · « **Reply #25 on:** February 25, 2008, 08:39:00 PM »

That sounds awesome.

Dannye · « **Reply #26 on:** February 25, 2008, 09:30:02 PM »

Good news guys, I fixed the bug, now it seems to (and hopefully 'does') work on any replays.

Torque · « **Reply #27 on:** February 25, 2008, 09:43:56 PM »

Great, PM me how to do it.

Dannye · « **Reply #28 on:** February 25, 2008, 11:57:31 PM »

It would involve making your own trainer (or using some memory editing program).

Brulla · « **Reply #29 on:** February 26, 2008, 12:05:56 AM »

Great job Dan! Can you PM it or sign on msn real quick?
