Phil's Day and Night Cycle – v7.0.0
Transform your tabletop into a living, breathing cinematic world with next-generation Wind & Weather Physics, 3D Cloud Breakthroughs, Smart Lighting, Calendar & Clock Engine for Foundry VTT.
Phil's Day and Night Cycle turns passive battle maps into immersive, atmospheric experiences. It combines a gorgeous, customizable drag-and-drop clock and calendar interface with a cutting-edge real-time simulation engine for dynamic lighting, cloud shadows, 360° wind trajectories, and 4,800 handcrafted narrative weather reports.
🌟 What's New in v7.0.0 – The Living Atmosphere & Grand Weather Physics Overhaul
- 🌪️ Revolutionary 360° Wind & Precipitation Physics: Say goodbye to static, vertical video loops! Every single raindrop, snowflake, and ash particle is dynamically driven across the canvas along the active 360° wind vector and Beaufort velocity. Experience howling gale squalls sweeping diagonally across the map or heavy, vertical downpours during dead calm.
- 💧 Directional Ground Splashes: Droplets calculate their exact terrain impact coordinates in real time, exploding into fine water droplets distributed naturally along the flight vector of each drop.
- ☁️ Volumetric Cloud Deck Breakthrough: On continent and regional overviews, cameras hover above thick, volumetric 3D cloud decks. As you zoom down into streets and dungeons, the camera smoothly breaks through the cloud ceiling—the clouds dissolve so your tokens, furniture, and tactical 5 ft battle maps stay 100% visible, bright, and unobstructed!
- 🌤️ Living Cloud Shadows & Organic Rain Lulls: Rain falls realistically where cloud shadows pass overhead! As cloud fronts drift across the landscape, localized downpours sweep over the terrain and give way to natural rain pauses with breaking sunlight. Ambient cloud shadows drift across the terrain at angles driven by the sun position in the clock widget.
- 🎭 4,800 Handcrafted Multi-Genre Weather Reports: Complete rewrite of all 15 global climate zones across 4 seasons in 4 distinct narrative styles: 🏰 Fantasy / Historical, 📻 Modern / Realistic, 🤖 Sci-Fi / Cyberpunk, and 📜 Classic (German & English with 0 text duplicates). Includes a 1-click welcome chat card to choose the narrator style.
- ⚡ Accessible Multi-Pulse Thunderstorms & Flash Shield: Natural lightning intervals (14–20s) with rumbling thunder, cinematic violet-blue ambient illumination, and a dedicated individual client toggle to disable screen flashing for photosensitive players.
- 🧭 Live Wind Compass in Clock Widget: An elegant rotating wind arrow in the clock widget with color-coded Beaufort intensity tiers and automatic daily calendar chronicle weather logging.
- 🚀 4 Hardware Performance Profiles (60+ FPS): Viewport frustum culling concentrates particles strictly in the visible camera viewport, maintaining butter-smooth 60+ FPS on massive 20,000-pixel canvas maps across 4 selectable hardware profiles (Ultra 135%, Balanced 100%, Laptop Saver 45%, Atmosphere Only 0%).
- 🗂️ Modern Categorized Settings Hub: Clean, structured settings dashboard with 7 quick-filter categories, subtle GM/Client badges, and 1-click access to the modern Feature Showcase modal and guided setup wizard.

Key Features & Core Highlights
- 🕒 Smart & Customizable Clock Widget
A drag-and-drop clock synced to Foundry World Time. Features composite clock face themes (Standard Fantasy, Mwangi Jungle, Víkingar), custom image uploads, dynamic day phases, 12h/24h toggle, and smart edge-detection positioning with a 3x3 orientation popover. - 📅 Integrated Calendar & Custom Calendar Editor
No external calendar modules required. Easily create custom calendars or use presets (Golarion for PF2e, Harptos for D&D 5e, Gregorian, Norse Víkingar). Manage public events, secret GM notes, and toggle between Year, Month, and List views. - 🔄 1-Click Simple Calendar Migration
Effortlessly import calendar definitions, events, and notes from Simple Calendar into PDNC with full precision and visibility rule preservation. - 🌧️ Next-Gen Weather Engine & Custom Weather Mixer
Simulates realistic weather across 15 global climate zones with automated daily weather chat cards. Includes a powerful Weather Mixer to combine custom particle layers, colors, and shaders with live canvas preview. - 💡 Dynamic Smart Lighting & Indoor Masking
Scene darkness updates seamlessly based on time of day, season, weather, cloud cover, and moon cycles across active and GM-viewed scenes—with automatic indoor suppression for bright, dry taverns and caves. - 🌕 Astronomical Moon Phases & Smart Time Jump
Full moon phase simulation influencing night brightness. Includes a smart Dusk/Dawn Time Jump button (with reverse rewind support via Ctrl). - 🏰 One-Click Dungeon & Interior Mode
Click the Gate Icon directly on the clock widget to immediately freeze automatic weather and lighting updates for dungeons, caves, or indoor scenes. - ⚔️ Pathfinder 2e & Quest Tracker Sync
Natively syncs Golarion calendar dates with PF2e world time and offers two-way event synchronization with Phil's Quest Tracker. - ⚡ 100% Standalone & High Performance
Zero dependencies on third-party calendar or time modules. Lightweight, fully optimized for Foundry v12–v14, and ready to use out of the box.
