I like it. I think the rain is better done than the snow.

I gotta ask, did you do anything with the Weather scripts that came with B24? Or was that just an inspiration?

Perhaps this could be weaponized. Some sort of weather controller....I know it's cliche' but fiery rain, acid rain. Might be entertaining.

Yeah, I took much of the code from the B24 stuff, which is a bit more (Much, much, more) complicated than this.
And my next thought was actually going to be a weapon, something like a "Mercury Storm." Just droppin' "des mercure sur les têtes ou les imbéciles." Or, for the French illiterate, dropin' the mercury on the heads of the fools.


Plenty of objects/poisons/combustibles/whatever else to choose from to make rain with. Seeing this get developed will be good though.

If you could implement a full weather system quicker & better than the DR dev team I'd be impressed. (time is on your side, friend.)

I'd like to see some rain the way GOW2 did it. Shard rain, was it?

Or perhaps make jesus raindrops that are solid and smoosh actors.

Razorhail. That was the best map for multiplayer, by far. But yeah, razorhail would be a kickass mod to have.

This reminds me of that one mod, something along the lines of Armageddon or something. The one where it played the music, had lightning and the meteors. OH Coming of God! That was it!

I like this mod. Maybe you could make acid rain? Or rain that acts sort of like small lead weights where if it hits an actor, it kills it like dropping a penny off of the empire state building but doesn't cut the terrain or bunkers.

And for the snow, do you think you could either make a version which the snow freezes on the ground into ice after a few minutes?

Do you think you could also make the rain more seeable? Its kind of dark.

Hmmm... acid rain should be particles with Lua health subtractors, and fire rain should have some kind of severity scale to it. For example, it goes from falling embers or ash, like the aftermath of volcanic eruptions, which does nothing, to rains of flame or napalm, which works sorta like the acid rain, to full-on GREAT BALLS OF FIYAH or Armageddon flaming meteors.
Other weather anomalies may include sudden wind gusts, rains of frog, fish, or crabs, blood rain, tornadoes, pollen/seed/spore falls, sandstorms, micrometeorite showers, hailstorms, thunder storms, electrical storms, etc.

Does the weather effect the terrain in anyway?

I just think that if it rains the dirt should become more like mud, meaning as you walk along it's much easier to get bogged down into the ground, this of course could change your tactics and choice of weapons and soldiers. If it's snowing then the ground will have become frozen, meaning it's the exact opposite of rain, but with the problem that the ground is now covered in snow which could be even worse to travel through than mud but instead of always being annoying you can always just use a digger or something to cut through the snow and walk on the frozen ground instead.

I would like it to rain blood. That would be awesome. I could make some cool CC movies with that.

Also for the snow, if the snow falls and fills up to a certain level, the snow won't build up anymore. So far, on Forest 1, it will happen on the sandy patches.

Wouldn't that make terrain rape?
