Weather in more maps?
« on: August 24, 2016, 05:19:27 am »
I just love the fact that it rains in Cherika, so why not have it rain in the other outside maps too? I think it would just seem a bit more realistic honestly. And I just love rain pretty much. I know this can prove some issues though, but I just want other floof's opinions. :)

100% agreeing with you on this one. I don't know how much weather has an effect on lag, I have a pretty decent PC. If we had access to the source code there could be an option to toggle weather on and off.

Actually, for the people that lag really bad with the weather, they could simply go and remove the weather file I'm pretty sure. Although if we did have the source code, it would be nice to have a weather on/off setting.

Oh, I didn't think of that. Deleting the file seems like it would work.

Thunderstorms rolling in and leaving very rarely would be nice too.  But not sure how taxing of computer resource that might be.
The Japanese concept of wabisabi:
The closest concept in english would be 'rustic'
They might have an old thing, one example is a favourite bowl or dish, it's broken, pieces are missing, why fix it?  With gold and pieces from other dishes?

Dude, it would be amazing if there was a way to put in some lightning and thunder!

i saw a map with fireworks on it so i'm guessing it would be possible, but complicated.   If i ever get into map making i will try it.

Well if you're familiar with making particle files for all of the weather files it could be possible indeed.

I think this is a nice idea. :3 It would add a lot of realism to the maps.
