How would it come with the Marsh Church??? :-O

[EggChen]

Gotta agree with Kany your concept art should include the wheel in Prypriat, or the flats at least.

[jamie1992]

Because i have the church all ready to implement if i want to i just used it to make a cool poster.

Good idea Eggchen.

[MeanderingBeing]

Soooooooo, did you integrate the Awesome Mushrooooms bit? Any final word on that?

[jamie1992]

Been thinking and so on and i thought of a good way to implement then so atm its 50/50.

[MeanderingBeing]

COOL! Sounds fun! So you've been workin on the pripyat map in 3dsMax, right?

[jamie1992]

Yup at the moment nothing but, except the art thing i posted awhile ago and some random story i been writing.

Hopefully the map will get done soon (Month or 3 :P), then i can get back to the scripting side of things.

Jamie, I'd send you an e-mail with a small attachment, if the address was in your profile

Send me one please, mine is in the profile.

[jamie1992]

Eggchen, you got mail.

So have you... here is something from my PE thread on GSC that may be of use when using the files I sent.... it is help with the snow, but if you didn't know already, will explain how you use weather to spawn particles.

Little help with using the snow effects, as requested by ZaGaR

You basically need to either create new weather or change existing weather. I'll just change it, just replacing rain with snow, but you could make it snow more often.

- Open weather_default.ltx and look at times when it is raining (rain_density is higher than 0)
- You will see at the end of that time period it has this line env_ambient = ambient_env_rain
- Now open env_ambient.ltx in the same config\weather folder and look at the section ambient_env_rain
- You will see it calls many effects like this effects = ae0_effect_1,ae0_effect_2, ae0_effect_3...
- These are shared with other ambient effects so its best to create a new one
- Go to the end of the file and copy [ae0_effect_9] and call it [snow_effect_heavy]

[snow_effect_heavy]
life_time = 1000
particles = _ecp\nature_snow_heavy
sound = ambient\rnd_outdoor\rnd_wind_3
offset = 0,0,0
wind_gust_factor = 0.03

- Obviously you can do the same with medium and light snow effects.
- Then add snow_effect_heavy to the effects line in ambient_env_rain
- Now I think these are randomly called, so for testing at least, remove all the other ae0_effects
- Remember to remove the rain, by changing all rain_density lines to 0.

This is just a quick way to get it spawning, it would be better to create new env_ambient sections rather than use the rain one. That way you can have different density of snow using the three particles. You could then call these in weather_default in the right order to have smoother transitions.

Yo, yep got it and replied to it, problem is i cant overwrite existing weather unless i can just merge it in, however i want it to be permenant so i suppose Spawning it around the player would be the best option.

I have never spawned particles so have no idea what the hell i have to do. got any tips? :S
