Save weather, time, realtime location and selected sync modes server-side
Automatically restore persistent settings after resource restart
Designed for RP servers, cinematic servers, emergency events and staff-controlled live scenarios

GS Realtime Weather & Disaster Control is built for servers that want a real admin control system instead of a basic command-only weather sync. It gives staff one dark NUI panel for weather, clock, realtime API location, flood events, tornado events and editable configuration fields.

Realtime Weather & Local Time

Realtime weather lookup by city and country code
Open-Meteo provider support with geocoding and forecast lookup
OpenWeather provider support with configurable API key
Realtime local time based on the selected location timezone / UTC offset
Manual refresh button inside the Realtime API tab
Realtime weather refresh interval is configurable
Realtime weather transition duration is configurable
Manual fallback modes are available if realtime API mode is not used

You can run your server with custom Los Santos style weather, or connect the controller to a real city such as Helsinki, London, Miami, Los Angeles or any other supported location.

Smooth Sync Design

Server-owned weather state with client sync
Weather revision system to avoid restarting transitions when the weather did not change
Server-owned clock base model instead of constant per-tick clock spam
Manual/game time advances from a configurable minute length
Realtime time mode syncs from selected location offset
Rain level smoothing with configurable refresh rate and rain step
Blackout support with configurable vehicle blackout behavior
Compatibility provides for vSync, qb-weathersync and qbx_weathersync

The controller is designed to keep weather and clock ownership clear. This helps reduce sky flicker, cloud flashing and controller conflicts caused by multiple systems forcing the same natives.

Admin UI

Modern dark themed NUI panel
Status cards for current weather, time, realtime status and active mode
Manual tab for weather, time, freeze time, GS control, native release and hard reset
Realtime API tab for city, country code and manual realtime refresh
Disasters tab for tsunami and tornado start/stop controls
Config tab with safe field editors for weather and tornado settings
No raw JSON text box in the UI
Hidden arrays and internal maps are preserved when saving editable fields
UI action security uses server-side permission checks and temporary UI session tokens

The panel is built to feel like a real staff control center and not only a command wrapper.

Persistent Settings

Persistent settings are saved server-side into data/settings.json
Runtime config can be saved into data/config.json
Weather mode and time mode are restored after restart
Weather, clock, blackout, freeze time and instant transition states can be persisted
Realtime city, country, coordinates and timezone data can be persisted
The UI does not rely on browser cache as the source of truth

This makes the resource safer for live servers because the active configuration is stored on the server instead of only inside the browser UI.

Tsunami / Rising Sea Level Event

Integrated gs_tsunami module
Natural flood mode where the water level rises gradually
Configurable tsunami duration
Configurable cooldown after event completion
Configurable warning phase before water rise starts
Configurable maximum water height
Flood water XML files included
Water level is synced from server to clients
Vehicles can lose gravity / behave differently when affected by flood water
Optional local steam, drizzle and boundary effects near the flood edge
Manual stop starts the water dropping phase
Hard reset can immediately clear the flood state

The tsunami event is a rising sea level / natural flood system. It does not spawn a giant visible water wall. It is designed for evacuation RP, emergency services RP, survival scenarios and cinematic server events.

Tornado Vortex Event

Integrated gs_tornado module
Starts a configurable tornado vortex from the disaster panel
Random spawn positions and movement destination support
Configurable tornado movement
Configurable funnel size, radius, eye radius and girth
Configurable capture distance and tracked entity distance
Can pull peds, vehicles and objects
Can detach, destroy or remove loose objects depending on configuration
Horizontal pull, vertical lift, rotation force and rotation speed are configurable
Configurable ejection height, outward force and upward force
Particle funnel and storm cloud visuals
Far visual proxy / render safety settings for long distance visibility
Local storm bubble with THUNDER weather, rain level, lightning, thunder sound and camera shake
Optional map blip and warning radius
Tornado config can be edited and saved from the GS Weather Config tab

The tornado system is a physical and visual vortex event. It is designed for cinematic chaos and emergency RP without replacing your whole map or requiring a custom map edit.

Siren Warning System

Optional siren warning for tsunami and tornado events
Included tsunami_siren.ogg audio support
Configurable siren default enabled state
Configurable siren volume
Configurable siren repeat cooldown in seconds
Cooldown set to 0 loops the siren continuously during the event
Cooldown above 0 plays the siren once, waits, then repeats
Siren automatically stops when the related disaster ends or is manually stopped

The siren system is optional, so you can run silent events, continuous warning events or timed warning cycles depending on your server style.

Configuration

Configure default command name
Configure default weather, hour and minute
Configure default realtime city and country
Configure Open-Meteo or OpenWeather provider mode

Installation

Copy the [gs_realtime_weather] folder into your server resources folder
Add the ACE permission line if you use ACE permissions
Add the resources to your server.cfg in the correct order
Configure default weather, time, realtime location and permissions
Configure OpenWeather API key if you use the OpenWeather provider
Use Open-Meteo provider if you want realtime weather without a mandatory API key
Start the server and open the admin panel with /gsweather
No database or SQL import required

add_ace group.admin gsweather.admin allow

ensure gs_tsunami
ensure gs_tornado
ensure gs_realtime_weather

Compatibility

FiveM / GTA V resource
Works standalone for weather, time and disaster control
QB-Core, Qbox and ESX are optional and only used for permission checks when configured
Provides compatibility names for vSync, qb-weathersync and qbx_weathersync
Do not run another active weather/time controller at the same time unless you intentionally release GS Weather to native mode

Important Notes

The tsunami event is a rising sea level / flood system, not a giant animated water wall
The tornado event is a configurable vortex with local storm effects and entity pull, not full map destruction
Realtime weather depends on the selected provider and internet/API availability
OpenWeather requires a valid API key if the OpenWeather provider is used
Open-Meteo mode can be used without a mandatory API key
Always test flood height, tornado strength and disaster duration on a development server before using them on a live RP server
Disable or remove other weather sync resources if they conflict with this controller
