Private Shards & Weather

[The Carnivore 12]

Has any mention been made as about weather on Private Shards? Specifically, will we be able to set the weather to our liking? I'd hope that we'd be able to at least set a season.

We haven't been told any real specifics(except for rules) about private shards and probably won't know a whole lot until they go live.

I don't think the tools are in place to alter weather and timing on shards yet (and by timing I mean the flow of time, accelerated time was talked about as an option later on down the road)

Well here's hoping...I'd like a Zombie Winter Wonderland. And maybe someday snow to go with it. Port Namalsk for that matter. I know they won't, but fighting the weather made that map so much more interesting.

From what I've read from Eugene, weather will be determined by the date you set on your server.

He meant temperature, IE it'll be cold as FUCK come December (which is why people fully geared up on experimental were suffering hypothermia) where as when summer comes we might actually start suffering from hyperthermia.., I would assume the OP meant weather as in rain/sunny.  If he meant temperature then that should be fairly soon as that's an intended option for when they get it working.

It wouldn't be much of a reach to assume rain would eventually be included in this.

Read a Status Report, it does a body good.

 

End of the month when 0.50 hits stable for private shards.

I read each and every status report as it comes out. I must have failed to see which status report said anything in reference to Private Shard operators being able to set the weather. Weyland Yutani, would you be so kind as to link just which Status Report you are referring to? Or did you mean the last report with the Server Hosting Rules?

 

I'm not looking for a Yes or No Answer, just wondering if there'd been any discussion or interest other than my own in this.

 

What I'd like to see is the ability to not just set the time of year for climate, but things such as rain and cloud cover, etc. I'd like to have a shard where I can make it always December, moderate to heavy rainfall during the nights, and none to moderate rainfall during the daylight hours. I don't recall seeing anything along those lines; thus the reason for the post.

In controlling weather as in turning rain on or off, I've seen nothing about it.  Setting the 'season' and thus the temperature will be possible on the other hand.

I made a mistake here. I totally misread your post. Sorry man…I apologize.

Actually...

 

"In addition of the weather impact Hypothermia and Hyperthermia (Hypothermia and Hyperthermia), the server configuration now recognizes time of year (admin can either set it or use real time)."

I can see it now, "24/7 Summer and Day - Fast loot - 1 hour restart" servers going up.

I'd perfer a twilight to dark server, all December all the time. Let the environment be the worst enemy.

We know that you'll be able to set day/night cycle and time of the year. Which would affects temperatures (and possibly other things like chance of rain/cloud cover/windage etc. However, I doubt you'll be able to make the tweak you mentioned without some modding (and maybe only on private hives)
