Dragons Change Weather - Cinematic Dragon battles

THE MOD:

This mod is inspired by one feature from my previous mod; Fire and Blood. I recieved several requests to release the feature as a standalone mod. And thus, here it is!

What it does: Anytime a dragon spawns and enters in combat state, he will change the weather around him to a dramatic, impressive, and cinematic one that matches it's elemental type.

If the dragon stops fighting, leaves the cell, dies, or is despawned with the console, the weather goes back to whatever it was before the fight. The cleanup is completely forced after 20 minutes in case anything goes very wrong, (but it won't).

The functionality of the mod has been tested for almost a year (Within Fire and Blood), so unless I comited a big mistake in this upload it should work marvelously and smoothly.

The mod is continously scanning for weather overwrites to make sure you don't encounter dramatic or omnious weathers where they shouldn't be.

You might notice the weathers are slightly more impressive looking and elaborate than in Fire and Blood, this is intentional, they have more features like image space modifiers or volumetric lighting that FAB can't have because everything needs to be optimized for the mod to run smoothly.

The mod doesn't alter real gameplay or combat mechanics significantly other than making the fights feel more intense and epic (purely a psychological effect) or making visibility a bit harder at times, but that's it. It is purely a immersion /graphical/cosmetic mod. It works with the vanilla game, dragons use thu'um, and any dragon mod in existance that doesn't add new dragon types.

However, as the title says, the mod includes support for several popular mods that add new dragons, this being: Dragon War, Diverse Dragons Collection, Deadly Dragons, and Epic Dragon Combat (PLEASE give this one a look if you ever used it or was itnerested in it because it just recieved a massive update). The patches add completely new weather effects that you can see in the screenshots to match the added dragon species by those mods. (Warning: They are mutually exclusive at the moment, you can patch only one of those mods at once).

This mod will help making your battles with dragons seem legendary and epic without adding difficulty. Combined with Majestic Dragons and Next Gen Dragon VFX /Better Dragon Breath, the effect is even more pronounced. With all those at once, your dragon fights will feel like mythical events.
