Snow - material and weather effects.

That's very exaggerated, to say the least :) Besides, I think I have too many pastimes connected with sitting at the computer all the time. I do it at work, I do it after work, it's not very healthy, you know ;)

Judith, I can't wait to play your The Cabal mission :cool:

Bloody brilliant! :eek: I'd love to see FMs using this. Lost in blizzards with undead, snow missions... This is fantastic!

But then we definitely need a cloak for Garrett... which is rather impossible due to those static and out-of-physics rigid attatchments. :( Maybe a gigantic furry collar. :p

I think that even a white clothes skin would be enough :)

And Garrett should become more invisible when he is in a bright light. :cheeky:

THAT I'd really like to see & implement it too :thumb: I remember playing my first T2 FM with snow (Stronghold) and I just loved it :) My FM will be based on a real castle in England & snow would be an excellent setting...

I havn't played an *.avi file in years & my win media player just plays the sound. How can I watch that snowstorm video ? I have quicktime, but it wants to add a mac component which I don't think will work. Can someone please convert the *.avi file to *.wmv ?

Judith on 12/1/2009 at 10:29

I don't have such converter but you could grab a (http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html) VLC media player. It's small, it plays virtually everything, and you don't need to install any video codecs.

Hi Judith, I downloaded it, installed it, but it only plays like 2 seconds of the house in the snow storm (too fast I think), windows media player played it slower (but no visual), but the 5Mb actually played for the time/space a-lotted... Do I have to change something, somewhere in the player to get it to slow down?

By the way, what I really Need to ask... can I add Snow like in T2 where it just sails down from the sky? No blizzards, just calmly..?

Judith on 14/1/2009 at 10:06

Yes, you can have a calm snowing as well. This would be a location based emitter, while the blizzard is a player-attached one. I'm sorry that you can't see the movie, I guess the only solution I know would be to (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gordianknot/Gordian.Knot.Codec.Pack.1.9.Setup.exe?download) install some codecs and use your mediaplayer after that.

As it goes for the emitters, I'll try to write a tutorial in a spare time :)
