FiveSPN-Weather is a FiveM resource that syncs the game server weather between all players to up to four real world locations or a global override set by a server admin from within the game.

For best performance and monitoring, make sure the FiveSPN--Logger resource is running on your server. This resource is available in the Full Suite or from the Source

Copy the folder inside of the FiveMResource folder into your server's resources folder and add it to the server.cfg with the following line.

start FiveSPN-WeatherSync

1. Go to https://openweathermap.org/
2. Register
3. Navigate to the API key area and generate a key for each server you are using.
4. Add the key to the FiveSPN-Weather resource manifest.

Using either a zip code, city id, city name, or weather string, add up to ten weather points in the locations.json file. You can add just one type or mix and match!

Default locations are Seattle, WA for the northwest, Phoenix for the desert areas, and Pasadena (LA) for the big city, with snow on top of the big mountain!

The three pieces of information are in each line of the locations.json are:

1. Location or Weather String.
   • [Cities] City name text string. IE "Dallas", "Reno", "Denver"
   • [Zips] Zip code numeral. IE 90210
   • [Ids] City Id code numeral. This is useful for complicated city names!
     • Can be found here by searching and looking at url on city page
     • Can be found here in current city list if you can decipher json.
   • [Forced] Weather string. This lets you permanently set a weather type for an area. (See below)
2. The X/Y/Z coordinates of the point.
3. The range for the weather. Leave the range at 0 to extend against all other points. (If no points are 0, the weather will be clear when not in a ranged point)
