Title: Just some Ideas..
Post by: LaughingWolf on October 22, 2018, 01:05:54 am
Like the title says; for now I'm starting with map making.. i don't think there's anything here you need to change code for.

Weather effect ideas:
- Change the snow to instead be more like a blurry dot, so it can double as ash.
- For the sand-storm, copy the snow effect but make it amber in color instead of the image it currently is.
- Add a falling-leaf effect, can work like snow, and would be great in a heavily wooded map.
- Flame/spark falling effect (like snow, but sparks of fire), doesn't have to be an animated image if it's drawn right. It'd be cool for some.. hellish or volcanic maps to have occasional fire-fall.
- A dense-fog would be awesome, but I don't think it's possible with the game engine as it sits.

[ugh. I had so many more, but am currently sleep deprived; will probably edit this at some point when I remember. lol]

Hey!! You can probably request most of these on the mods and creations request board ^^ They do sound really cool though! As for the fog, search up Glaves particles thread, she had a really cool fog particul you could place!

Ooooh, these are cool ideas for sure. I would love to see these put into action. I actually have downloaded a falling leaves mesh if you would like for me to send it over in a PM. But I do know Glave does indeed have a fog mesh here (https://www.mediafire.com/file/8201lmvvld19aex/GLFoggyness.zip)! Thanks for sharing your ideas, Laughing!

Thanks guys; but i'm really looking for weather effects, I know glave has some epic meshes done. Having a fog weather would be better due to lag issues that multiple particle-based objects create. Same with the leaves I think. The map I'm attempting at the moment would be absolutely awesome with a fire/spark-rain.

I just wish i knew how to make weather things. lol

Oh! These might be useful to you. c:

Here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3W-DaQdaYs) is a YouTube tutorial to making weather.

Ooooh, lovin' the idea of diverse weather. That would be such a nice little added spice for role-players!

I thought the sandstorm as it was was alright.  But ...  Hmm spark storms?   If you get pull those off it'd be cool.

I think those were both linked to the same video. In which case, I already know how to add and edit duration etc; I just don't know how to make different weather types . Like their fire sky etc, for example, in the video.
