How To Get Snow In A Mission?

[Juri_JS]

I've tried different settings in the 'Atmosphere' menue, but it just won't snow. Either the precipitations option doesn't work or I am doing something wrong. Does anyone know how to get snow in a mission?

[SYN_Haashashin]

Only way I know is to set the weather to overcast. Then you will see the snow falling.

When I select one of the overcast options there is no snow and no clouds at all. I think there is a bug.

In the Atmosphere menue the overcast options show the text "00_overcast_0x", but when I open one of the campaign missions in a text editor I see "04_overcast_0x".

 

Has anyone noticed the same?

[Habu]

I notice that since the last update from friday.

Was this already reported to the devs?

[Habu]

Yep. I asked to other testers to check too.

It is in 1080 dpi on YouTube for better viewing ... now I will say this ... before this patch, if I recall properly, overcast would be real low clouds and dark. This was not what I remember.

Just having a quick look at the editor yesterday, in the mission weather properties box, there is an option to select precipitations, snow or rain. I don't have the editor right here so I can't be more precise.

Yes there is Ricky but I haven't tried this in the ME yet. But just from ingame setting I recall, assuming I haven't missed something, that when I set snow to heavy it was low overcast and snow. Not light snow and open skies. This must have changed with the last revision. To me this is not a problem, but for discussion sake, maybe.

Editing (Notepad++) the .mission and the .msbin files give me overcast with clouds - instead the white glow - but not snow ( PrecLevel = 10;  PrecType = 2;)...

~S~ Everyone,

 

Excited to announce that Snowing in Multiplayer IS achievable!

 

I took an extracted .msnbin singleplayer file that was posted on this forum, called Ghosts in the Snow.

 

With a little ME editing, it's now called "Hosts in the Snow", and I have been hosting it successfully as of today.

 

As soon as I finish it to an acceptable production I will share it, and the particulars of questions in wide distribution.

 

Until then, I present, "The World's First IL-2 Battle of Stalingrad Multiplayer Snowing Environment Dserver is Up"!!!!!  

 

[Speckfire]

Great shot Jupp !!!!!

~S~ Everyone,

 

Update. I've just solved out adding Non Directional Beacon inclusion for the Lagg5 and Yak 1 use of the Rpk-10 instrument.

 

Glad I've held back release of my version because that just puts more flexibility in conducting the operational missions online.

 

Only a few more items remain that I'd like to change or introduce before I will release what I have done given some time to do so.

 

Less than two weeks to be sure!

~S~ Juri,

 

I just posted a final copy of a working multiplayer mission with snow. All files included. ~S~
