This system provides an configurable weather system ( 100% random weather) a full date system that still works after one year and season which affect weather. This will be suited for rpg & oprg maps. or anything that needs it.
you can add different weather to the system by editing current variables or by adding variables.
The date system is fully configurable, you can change how many days in a month, the names of the days/months, starting year. You can even change how many months in the year by changing the "Current_Month_num Greater than 12" variable in one of the tweak able triggers.
Why I created something so simple? Well I already had a system but it was hard to configure, this system is very easy to configure. Also it will work with just copy and paste making it easy to put into already maps and the random weather adds to the "effect" of the game. =]
Note: The system will work with just copying and pasting them. but I recommend tuning them to your map since my weather doesn't snow, only rain and wind.
Please credit if used.
1.0 - Weather System
1.1 - Added Date system, removed integer A, replaced with WE_int variable.
1.2 - Removed all waits, removed random generation variables every few seconds. Now only generated when needed.(Improved performance.) Also removed showing of time on multi-board ( improves performance and was not needed.) Added -date command removed unneeded variables. Added Fog to weather system, its random too! (Changeable in the trigger called Number Randomizer.)
1.3 - Added Seasons, Seasons affect weather, less chance to have fine weather in winter etc. all 3 systems integrated into one. One trigger to tweak 90% of the system. Trigger that can be tweaked state what to and what not to touch.
1.3a - Fixed time desync
1.4 - Changed how seasons work, high chance of sunny days in summer, higher chances of rain and wind in other seasons, no heavy rain in summer. Fog changes every day not just when the weather changes. Added more comments to System.
NOTE: This is all my own work, I know there is another Date/weather system. I Have not even looked at it. if you compare these they "should" be different.
Whats next? Make it smaller and easier to use.

Add descriptions to you hidden triggers
You should correct the name of your days in the first trigger... "thrusday"
I don't know but can you change your first trigger to "map init" instead of time expires 0.10?
The Reason it is not Map init but a timer, is because you should only have one map init event (I read that somewhere) and most maps would already have one so I just use the same timer.
I'll fix those today.
Also if you're going to test it you will want to change date update trigger look below.
