What's with the rain on this server?

Stupid rain.

Not too surprising, here's your culprit

if(zone->zone_weather != zone->weather_type)
weatherTime = (MakeRandomInt(1800, 7200) + 30) * 2000;
else
weatherTime = (MakeRandomInt(900, 2700) + 30) * 1000;

Assuming milliseconds, you're looking at a minimal of an hour of rain as soon as it starts, up to 4 hours and change before it even has a chance to stop raining, and then it only has a 20% chance to stop raining at each check. Unless I'm missing something (which with a scary code base like this is likely) it's going to be an average of 2.5 hours per check while raining, then 30 minutes per check while not raining. It really seems like this if statement should be reversed to give the desired behavior, unless counter-intuitively zone->weather_type is not the default weather state of a zone (dry/raining). Huge caveats as I've never looked at the code base before just now.

its a pretty easy fix in the eqemulator code, i dont know if they have altered the weather code on p99 otherwise id post a fix

I don't believe weather code has ever been touched. If you look into it and create an appropriate fix, it will certainly be evaluated and considered. Thanks.

Disabling thunder in your sound files is the best thing you can do when playing with sound on this server.
