The Immersion Add-On HUD is a step towards testing WLv2 features and gameplay mechanics in SL. It's designed to enrich current gameplay in The Wastelands. At any time you can click the HUD to get a textual output of the current weather.

Icons

• The sun dial gives you a general idea of what time of day it is. This is synched up with PDT time.
• The icon below the sun dial represents current weather conditions. There are 17 different weather types, from snow to rain, to different cloud patterns and storms!
• The thermometer on the right gives you a visual representation of what the temperature is.

Generalized role play terminology

With no exact temperatures, or predicted weather conditions, this helps Wastelanders live in there here and now. It is an approximate guess as what the player feels and observes. Also time is using general wastelands terminology.

Dynamic weather based on real world historical weather!

Hourly weather is sourced from a real world location with weather patterns that are similar to what we had in mind if the Wastelands was a tangible place.

Dynamic falling damage

The further you fall, the more damage you take. The amount of damage is anywhere from scrapes, to fatal hemorrhaging injuries.

Jump limiter

No more "moon jumping" while playing games in The Wastelands. At best jumps could be describes as parkour like, which is entirely feasible in the Wastelands Universe.

Running speed limiter

Sometimes we run faster than we should (thanks SL), and this trips up the Wastelands HUD auto-suspension. This minor change should help that!

Known Issues

The Weather isn't 100% perfect because the equipment used to record the weather had occasional downtime. For the most part weather is usually recorded correctly, and there's very few incidents of incorrect weather. There's been witnessed incidents where weather will go from HOT to FREEZING and back to HOT again.

There is a good chance that this will simply be linked to the main hud as part of a mandatory update before WLv2 is released.
