SNOW

Can I have snow falling (as per rain).
If so how.
What does the snow clip texture do?
Thanks

I think you have to set 'rainshader' or something to get snow. Don't know exactly. The snow clip texture just creates plumes of snow if you shoot at it.

Yes the rain shader needs to changed to a shader that is a snow flake, after that is done you will want to tweak the weather script parameters to make the flakes look more natural.

Sample you can use this at the beginning of your level script, (NOTE:) The weather script can create problems in DM levels related to audio. Some of these have been corrected in Spearhead.

//---------------------------------------------------------------------
//Snow Parameters
//---------------------------------------------------------------------
level.rain_speed = "30"
level.rain_speed_vary = "1"
level.rain_length = "1.5"
level.rain_width = "1.5"
level.rain_density = "1"
level.rain_slant = "250"
level.rain_min_dist = "256"
level.rain_numshaders = 8
level.rain_shader = "textures/snow" //THIS IS THE CHANGE

FINAL NOTE: "level.rain_numshaders = 8" can NOT be increased above 12 or your level will not run. Also you will need to create RAIN volumes in the Radiant where you want the snow to fall.

Good luck, and I hope this helps!
