JFord 4 Posted March 2, 2014 I am wondering if we ever going to see some snow. I think it would be awesome..an awesome adition to the survival aspect of the game. What are the peoples thoughts on it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oregonized 673 Posted March 2, 2014 I doubt the engine will be able to handle snow that actually sticks to surfaces without completely killing your FPS. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IkaikaKekai 1957 Posted March 2, 2014 From what I was told, the way the engine currently is, if we were to have different 'seasons' they would have to make 3-4 copies of the map and change the textures to match the season and some minor terrain modifications (snowbanks, making lakes freeze over, ect), meaning you couldn't just have it snow and it would cover the ground in snow, kinda like how it doesn't flood when it rains. This MAY change (I've heard some rumors a little while ago) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This MAY change (I've heard some rumors a little while ago) Were they rumors that went with a vid, showcasing snow that could build up and vehicles could leave tracks in? I saw something like this on these forums ages ago, seemed like a paid for variation of the arma engine. Id search for the vid but im on a mobile connection and you tub doesn't work :( Something like that could be awesome. Add some real immersion, im picturing hard survival, and zombie chases being really slow, as player and zombie have to wade through knee deep snow. If no it will be those 4 maps you mentioned im sure. Id love R to finish his alpine map from armaholic, but I guess that wont happen if hes off to the new studio around beta time :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OrLoK 16185 Posted March 3, 2014 Hello there This uses a version of the RV engine, so it is "possible", now whether its "easy" or not to do is another issue. Rgds LoK 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gekkonidae 270 Posted March 3, 2014 I think it's quite possible, but it would take a lot of work to get it done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
