Thread: Winter in Istaria

  1. #1

    Default Winter in Istaria

    It's getting colder and colder these days. People wrap themselves up in their blankets and dragons curl up together to keep themselves warm..
    Looks like winter is making its entrance once again.

    Hmm. Just messing around with some of the shaders here. Thought I'd mess with them by turning Istaria into a winter wonder land. Making good progress so far but it still needs alot more testing in different areas.
    Anyways. Here are two screenies of my progress so far. Chiconis and Bristugo.. Winter style.

    It certainly doesn't help that it's currently 12 degrees outside and 54 inside.... But wow! That looks amazing! I can't wait to be able to use it. You did an amazing job!

    /em wonders when they'll introduce routine weather such as rain and thunderstorms

    Considering that it is dropping down below zero here tonight, if I wake up tomorrow and find snow outside of my lair, I ain't gonna be happy!

    Nice job, btw. It looks good.

    It looks really nice, I agree!

    Guess we'll have to make some more bronze shovel to get the snow out of the way

    Aaaaand 'eres the first version of the mod. There are a few bugs/flaws.. Might be able to work those out later on, maybe not.
    Be sure to read the readme file inside for installation instructions. (quickly written readme file. But it should be pretty easy to install anyways) Do let me know of any bugs you encounter.
    Enjoy

    Oh. another screenie. Just for the heck of it

    Palmtrees in the snow..

    I'd still like to see snow falling in Dralk. Not sticking, but falling. Maybe you can release two versions? I don't usually visit Dralk so the snowing in the lairs would not be a problem for me.

    Head into the resources_override\definitions\regions folder, make a copy of regions_default.def and call that copy region_volcanic.def. Voila. Snow in dralk :P

    I remember once upon a time there was discussion of having assets re-organized and expanded to include seasons (or, more accurately, weather regions) in the file names, which would override defaults ... that way we could have invisible MOBs with weather regions attached to them that wandered around the world and altered the appearance of things as it went. (snow covered ground and trees, leaves turning brown from heat, dynamic blight...)

    I wonder if that idea is still kicking around anywhere? :P It would certainly require a fair bit of coding, and even more artist time, but I'm willing to wager that there's several artists in the community willing to donate that time to generate weather/season specific textures...

    I want to install this, but only temporary, and I have too many mods to full scan it off. Suggestions?
