INFORMATION

MAKE SURE TO TURN OFF YOUR MENU BLUR IN ACCESSIBILITY!

This mod is meant to be used with ProtoManly's weather mod, or else it will not work.

This mod adds a way for EAS transmissions signals to be reached to a player, adding an immersive and realistic tone to the mod.

HOW TO USE [OLD]

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2UvlhCo6JU)

First, obtain an EAS Block and an EAS Transmitter. Place an EAS Block next to a Weather Station (it must be adjacent), and then right click on the EAS-Block with the EAS Transmitter to 'bind' the two (you may need to shift click).

Once this occurs, any supercell/squall/tornado entering the radius of the EAS Block (not configurable at this time) will release their corresponding 'warnings' to be released among those having the EAS Transmitter

USAGE WITH RADAR WARNING POLYGON:

Next to your EAS Block, place down a Radar block that is adjacent to it. The EAS Block must subsequently be placed next to a Weather Station. Whenever a warning is issued automatically, so too will a polygon be drawn until the storm is below severe limits/left the radar area.

HOW TO RATE TORNADOES:

Select a tornado in the Damage Surveyor and click 'Survey Damage'. Your task is to right-click with the damage surveyor on specific chunks to 'survey' chunks damaged by the tornado. Once you are done surveying, do /survey finish to finish surveying. If you would like to quit early, do /survey quit.

Hurricane Tracking

Craft a Cyclone Block and place it adjacent next to an EAS block to enable hurricane detection for EAS and radar. Once you've crafted a cyclone tracker item, shift-click on the cyclone block to bind. Once it's bound, if you right-click the cyclone tracker item anywhere, it should open a GUI with all the active and historical tropical storms.

When watches are issued, forecast track lines appear on radar showing the projected storm path. Hurricanes can be named aumatically using a configurable letter-based system, or manually named by players. Use /cyclone name <id> <name> to name storms. Or, use the server configuration to help you decide.

Town & NWS Office System

Create a network of towns with NWS office jurisdictions for realistic alert messaging. Creating Towns: /easaddon town create <name> <radius> - Creates a town centered on your position with the specified radius.

NWS Offices: /easaddon town setnws <name> true - Designates a town as an NWS Office. Alerts will be issued as "NWS [Office Name] has issued..."

Jurisdiction: /easaddon town setparent <town> <office> - Sets which NWS Office covers a town. Alerts will reference affected towns by name.

Operators: Town mayors can grant NWS operator permissions to other players, allowing them to use SPC stations and issue outlooks. Server operators must manually set towns themselves in addition to an appropriate radius, and set the mayor of the town.

When towns are configured correctly, the warnings include the issuing NWS Office Name and the affected towns.

SPC

Create an manage convective outlooks and watches just like the real SPC.

SPC Block: Place in an NWS office town to create an SPC station. Right-click to access the SPC interface. From here, you can automatically or manually draw risk polygons for day 1, 2, and 3 outlooks with the risk levels

TSTM (General Thunderstorms) MRGL (Marginal Risk) SLGT (Slight Risk) ENH (Enhanced Risk) MDT (Moderate Risk) HIGH (High Risk)

You can also set the parameters for watches in the SPC block.
