progamer 14 Posted November 2, 2013 Don't sandstorms mess up thermal equipment because of the eat generated by colliding sand particles? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fabio_chavez 103 Posted November 2, 2013 (edited) WOW! this is what I expected the built in bis_fnc_sandstorm to look, but there is no comparison - good job.Is this all a random 'living system' like weather and can it be scripted from within a mission like the current weather control as well? Will it be added to the editor weather control (maybe a tough call there)? thanks -its not entirely clear yet if this is going to become an addon on its own of if this is going to be implemented into another mod. Don't sandstorms mess up thermal equipment because of the eat generated by colliding sand particles? Thats an interessting point, i never really intended to make this mod work at night/with fancy optics, any further tweaking or functional upgrade that was possible and within range of knowledge or resources could be applied at one point in the future. Right now i am only intending to implement the addon in a specific multiplayer mission of a pvp mod that is in beta phase atm.

giorgygr 61 Posted November 3, 2013 -its not entirely clear yet if this is going to become an addon on its own of if this is going to be implemented into another mod. Of course it's always YOUR choice..but why to 'detain' such a beautiful-atmosphere-enhancing mod to one specific gamemode? Community's flexibility will lose by such decision.. ;/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fabio_chavez 103 Posted November 4, 2013 id be more than happy to share this with anyone interessted in using it, though there are still some technical hurdles to overcome on which i need help, and eventually neither for me nor for anyone it would be relevant if this becomes a mod on its own or a module in some other effects addon or something... as it seems at the moment the first playable glimpse you will get at this will be a certain mission in a multiplayer pvp mod.

DaViSFiT 21 Posted November 4, 2013 Dust goes from right to left, smoke goes the other way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fabio_chavez 103 Posted November 4, 2013 Dust goes from right to left, smoke goes the other way? all particles will be sensitive to wind direction. not yet fully implemented, so sometimes particle movements can be a bit contradicting at times... :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tinter 186 Posted November 8, 2013 This looks really cool. Gives me a lot of scripting ideas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainAzimuth 714 Posted November 8, 2013 This is awesome, i really wanted to see some different kind of weather possibilities. I am curious though, if your able to do multiple weather instances, other than just dust storm, maybe have other options as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
10t 12 Posted February 22, 2014 I'm using a script I tore out of the old NIM's old A2 weather mod (which I haven't even converted from .sqs to .sqf... I have no shame). Very keenly awaiting yours, Fabio_Chavez. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

old_painless 183 Posted February 22, 2014 Wow - please add snow as well, so we can have a blizzard/snowstorm in winter (mountainous) maps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
giorgygr 61 Posted February 23, 2014 Fabio.. I m sure you have thought about about it but..make sure there aren't conflicts between Blastcore and (maybe) keep the performance hit as-low-as-possible. Bring it to us please. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fabio_chavez 103 Posted February 23, 2014 thank you for your interesst guys, but i got to ask you for patience, i havent been doing any work on this project since the last update. i learned a few more things about lighting in the meantime that should be helpfull for creating a convoncing duststorm environment and i am dedicated to get something out eventually but please dont expect this to be released any time soon. When i finished my current project, i will pick up the duststorm project again and post some updates. :popup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
