Tut Request with found info - weather FX in MP for HaloCE

[picklebro]

I noticed the other night I was playing...oh grrrr...can't remember the name of the map now, but that one that is in the swamp and its raining...and although I wasn't impressed by how the rain looked, I was impressed by the fact that it *was* raining.

So...does anyone have some tips/tutorials they could give me about putting weather in multiplayer?

Also, what impact does that have on polycount/framerate?

I found some info on that here: http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com/sh ... art=3&vc=1

Guess I'll have to try it sometime....I still don't know if those particles have any effect on framerates...anyone have thoughts on that?

Map Name: Elite Mass Death by any chance?

[picklebro]

don't have that one - will have to try it..the rain one is....quagmire..does elite mass death have weather FX? I'll have to find it.

Elite Mass Death doesn't have rain, I think. It was a modified tutorial.map.

Quagmire? However you spell that...i believe that had rain, did it not?

[picklebro]

yes, its the only multiplayer map for HaloCE that I know of that has weather FX

There is one or two with snow falling. I'm going ot go explore guerilla, and see if I can find what causes weather.

that link I posted explains it pretty well I thought ..but then I haven't tried following their directions yet. Btw..I just watched the hypothermia vid..that map has snowflakes.

I can make HaloPC maps snow, so i have a basic idea of where i may find it

Quaqmire has rain and Terralan has snow. Hypothermia has snow, but that hasn't been released to the public yet.
