Remove the sv_cheats restriction on the commands for configuring func_precipitation #2533

Closed kitrodian closed 1 week ago

kitrodian commented 1 week ago

Details

The commands to change the visual settings for func_precipitation are currently sv_cheats protected. This is problematic because there are multiple maps on the workshop that rely on these commands to make func_precipitation look any good as the default settings are genuinely terrible and look like a bunch of vertical streaks slowly falling from the sky.

These convars include: r_rainalpha r_rainlength r_rainspeed

My most recent map suffers from this. In singleplayer it looks great, but in multiplayer these commands are restricted so the rain looks terrible. Image

I really do not believe that any potential advantages a user can gain by changing these values are great enough to warrant these being sv_cheats protected, either.

I think using the new particle system based precipitation types would be a better solution to this, compared to using the legacy systems and hacking around for them to look a bit better.
