How do i get weather
« on: July 03, 2011, 10:29:40 am »
Ive now figured out how to make heightmaps and get waterfalls thanks to people on feralheart but i cant really get weather onto my maps. Im not sure what to do in the weather cycle and do i have to pick a sky to go with it. So if anyone can answer this for me by doing step by step id really appreciate it.

Well i got the weather i wanted on my map which was snow but theres hardly any snow. How do i make heaps of snow fall so it looks a little like a blizzard or snow storm? Or does it eventually do that after a while? Someone please answer

(Try not to double post, people might bite you. Just modify your original post.)

Anywho, once you load the snow into Sky Maker you change the "Rate:"

Usually about 900 is the fastest you can make it without it having pauses in between.

Hope that helps. :)

Yeah, just save it as like... FastSnow or something, so you know what it is, but it doesn't override the other one. :)

I find it depends on if you have it set as fade in or fade out. I helped my friend make a map with some snow in a mystic field. If you have it set as fade in then it'll start out nice and slow and build up. If you have as neither it should start flat out fast. Should, but don't quote me. :P
