Seasons

[nacrom 82]

I mentioned this in another forum and people suggested I start a thread so here it is.

It would be cool if we had Winter, Summer, Spring and Fall. Different temps, rain fall, snow, visibility etc. New season specific gear would alleviate the dangers of any one season and increase survivability. Examples:

1. Snow shoes
   
2. Winter clothing
   
3. Rain gear
   
4. Cross country Skis.

This would be awesome but it would include ALOT of texturing aswell as coding

maybe on a server restart (most of them restart every day) you can calculate the weather due to the real-life-date ;)

Yay, you made the thread. Nice one.

I'm wondering how long seasons should last in game. I'd like to see one season last 2 weeks in real time. That'd be just enough time to have to really try and survive a harsh winter but not so long you get sick of it.

I was being really thick on my first play of the game. It was raining here and also in the game and I was thinking "this is F***ing awesome*.

Nice :) I was pretty impressed when I found about the lunar cycle in the game.

i think a season should stay as long the real season would stay ;) maybe connect it to an external weather-report-station :D

Yarp this seems like a cool idea, id like to see severe weather conditions be considered a bit more too. Guess if this was implemented ye could also have potential for specific severe weather conditions that are in tune with ze different seasons XD

I'd like to see something like this implemented, it would be much further down the track though.

There's a lot of possibilities that could happen, with winter, in regards to clothing, keeping warm, etc.

You would need a map per season...that would mean about 2GB on maps only.

why? it is a retexture to get this done. For example: the leafs of the trees become invisible (retexture)... ground becomes white... most of the look is done ;)
