Dango 23 Posted March 2, 2013 winter, summer, fall, spring. that sort of thing. they would change according to real time. so say you lived in america and its usmmer there and you went on a US server it was summer on it. but say in the southern hemisphere it would be winter or cold (totally dont know how that works.) so if you went on their servers it would be winter time on it. i think it would be neat playing in different seasons and having to adapt to the rain and snow and what not that the seasons have to offer. it would also help with the customizable clothing in SA since they may actually have a purpose. you will get sick and eventually die form the cold if you dont have a coat on or whatever.this could be done through seperate different maps.. but id like to play on a chernarus map in the dead of winter. kinda like i was playing metro 2033.

IkaikaKekai 1957 Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Been suggested, but still a good idea. I THINK Rocket talked about it as something he would like to do, but for right now it wouldn't be...a good use of time I think? The Engine can't simply take a map and add snow, or make all the leaves turn colors and die off. I believe what was said was that someone would have to make 3-4 versions of the exact same map, add in things like snow on the ground, replace all the trees with barren ones, change the trees and landscape to fall colors, ect ect, I believe its doable but its one of those things that would be on the list for maybe after Standalone's official release (not the 'alpha' release were all waiting very anxiously for) or something for the map maker to do either inbetween or after major projects are done.*EDIT* I think it should be more tied into what season it would be in Eastern Europe (where Chenarus is suppose to be) rather than where the server is, and all maps would change accordingly. (IE whenever winter is suppose to start in Chenarus the maps will change for all severs.) Edited March 2, 2013 by BigMike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dango 23 Posted March 2, 2013 yeah i know it wouldnt be a RIGHT NOW thing. i still think it would be bad ass to have different variants of camo and different paint for guns and what not. also weather would probably have a huge impact. say freezing rain or just snow in general. or heat waves and shit. potentially events in the game. like christmas trees in houses or halloween costumes you could wear.

_Anubis_ (DayZ) 139 Posted March 2, 2013 it should be doable but you would need 4 sets of textures/models (FSX does that for example) and it couldn't be real-time but most likely require a server restart. Cool anyway._Anubis_ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
