Changing Weather & Wildlife

[jordanmammo 19]

Hi, I'm not really new to this game but I think this game should have more of a real life grip to it:

Weather

Rain:

Decreases body temperature when staying still

Could make certain surfaces harder to walk on (Ex: Having to walk up a hill because of incline, could slip and break limbs)

Certain vehicles have less traction on wet surfaces & pavements

Rain Storms (Monsoons):

Causes a great drop in visibility & body temperature

Certain vehicles lose traction on certain surfaces

Hail (Ice):

Damages Tents or vehicles depending on size of ice pellets

Slows down the possible travel of players

Heat Waves:

Causes thirst to develop faster

Causes characters body temperature to rise & must cool off in shaded/cool areas

Wildlife

Adding a variety of more animals & birds like:

Deers, Mountain Goats, Geese, Ducks, Moose etc...

And some dangerous wildlife like:

Bears, Wolves, Mountain Lions, Cougars, Vultures etc...

I'd like to see the seasons change based on the server's location. You'd only need to have replacement textures or overlay textures for autumn and winter, plus it would mean the whole gameplay dynamic would be flipped upside down for a few months out of the year because players would be able to track one another in snow, fighting the cold temperature would be harder, and visibility would be much better (camo would be ineffective).
