The weather works in the latest version, the weather field in the zone table controls the type of weather that the zone should use most of the time whenever the weather timer is triggered. In most zones it should be 1 for rain, however in cold zones it should be 2 for snow. This will allow the server to send weather updates based on the type of zone its in; for example you obviously dont want it to rain most of the time in Everfrost. This does not mean it will not rain in everfrost or snow in other zones, it just means it has a far greater chance to use the default weather. You will be able to tell how long it will be until the next weather update by looking at your console window. You will see something like this:
Code:
[Status] Weather should change in 6528 seconds
