We are trying to decide between two weathers on the server, 17 or 0. 0 is the default SAMP weather, and was the weather on LWs until a few months ago, when we changed it to 17. While this was initially popular, recently I've gotten some complaints about weather 17.
What the arguments generally come down to is this: weather 17 is very dark at night in some areas of the map, which makes it hard to see (whereas 0 is lighter everywhere at all times); however, weather 17 has a higher view distance.
Here are some screenshots as examples of the two weathers: http://imgur.com/a/OMng2 (http://imgur.com/a/OMng2)
Please vote in the poll above to voice your opinion.

0 pls, the other one made it too dark in some area's, and speaking for some other players they had trouble flying their rustler during the dark. ;D
-
Holy crap! Only now i get why the screen seemed darker to me lately X(
Well both of them have a pro and a con so i'll stay neutral for now
-
Look at the screenshots, everyone! :D

The album still only has 2 views despite more votes on the poll than that.
-
Hai,
0 is a much better option.
It is much clearer in the game. I voted for 0 But then again, up to you to decide. Good luck :)
-
Weather 17 it looks more HD than weather 0
-
17 ftw ! with Hd texture pack it's awesome.
the 0 weather look like a shitty border limit on a bad rendered game :p

Weather 0 = 8 Votes
So weather 17 will be implemented?

The current weather is indeed a pain in the ass sometimes. You can hardly drive or fly through some All Around SA tunnels. At Las Venturas South Ammu you sometimes only see players by their name and on the map. If it's a dark skin it isnt visible.
-
For what it's worth, I don't mind the darkness at night in weather 17. It adds another dimension/challenge to the game, and things at night should be dark, right?
-
we aint batman you know..

It should be dark, but I think it shouldnt be so dark that players need texture mods to be able to fight. Also Weather0 has day and night difference too, it's just that you are able to go where you want on the map without having issues with the light.

Actualy people with a good calibrated screen and a nice setup can see perfectly fine and are gonna have a shitty blue sky because some lama cant see ...
Funfact : seeing less at night is fucking normal, it's more realistic. Try Dayz or other roleplay/survival game, and try to see if you can see at +500meter at night ...

How is a purple sky more realistic than a blue sky? Full moon nights usually look like weather 0.

Come on guys, weather id 0 is the default ugly weather that all servers have.
The weather id 17 gives a better look to the server, + casino lights seem to look more realistic.
I don't think it blinds you guys soo much that you can't play.
If you guys wanna change the weatherid, at least do not choose weatherid 0. It looks depressing.

Hai,
Wait, wait, wait :)

When I talked about it to blewert the first time, some months ago, he told me they got many complaints about the darkness already. If the darkness was no issue, why would we have this topic?
-
How about a realistic weather cycle? An example of this would be Sunny > cloudy > rainy > thunder > cloudy > sunny

Well, it is obviously an issue, but the pain is worth the gain in my opinion :P

I've seen people complain about thunder being 'laggy', so i guess it's nothing for the common LW peasants huehuehue
/me hides.

Yeah and also when it's raining sounds start bugging and everything becomes shit ;D

From what I've seen today,It doesn't give me any issues while playing the game.And it's just that I never really cared about the weather type that much. XD ;)
+1 for the current one.

The poll doesn't matter anymore because we are now using a weather filescript that changes it every 10 minutes. This way the server has more weather variety and pleases everyone's tastes.
-
With this new script, the weather changes at 0:00. It cycles through the following weathers, in order: 11, 14, 17, 7, 6, 5, 2, 1, 10, 3.
I'll see if I can close the poll because as people have pointed out, it doesn't serve much purpose anymore.
