[Terrain] Chernarus Winter A3

[rekkless 240]

Guys try and not quote my posts so it doesn't duplicate my massive pictures. Just say "Rekkless..." I will notice your comment.

 

how did you get the snow vehicles? what mod is that? looks awesome

 

also to the map creator/modder, what is the difference between this version and the original guys? i have his and it works for A3. not trying to be rude just curious, im def interested. are there more entereable buidlings nd things? texture work?

 

Euroforce and Csat Snow tigers

 

What are you using for your snow effects?

 

Goons snow script. the same one STU81 posted towards the top of this page.

[stu81 45]

since we are talking about particles it means that this script wont affect Ai visibility, doesnt it

If you set the overcast just right it will clear the whiteout and you don't have to worry about ai.

Or you can add fog to reduce ai visibility.

Yeah the particals only fall about 50 meters around you to help performance.

I see falling snow in the intro scene. Is there any way I can use the snow script(particle effect or something like that) included in the Chernarus Winter in my mission or in the editor?

 

They exist simple scripts if you want falling snow. Maybe someday but for the moment I'll fix issues on this terrain and I'm working on another terrain project.

Good work! I'll test asap. Keep an eye on this post, an updated version (v1.1) is planned really soon.

[khan_artist 16]

Arthyc i have a question, what is the difference between your chernarus winter and the originals? the original you linked works with A3, so did you add more enterable buildings or something? not to be rude, im just curious as i have the other one and am interested to see if this is the definitive version lol.

I fixed stability and artifacts issues and added a better satmap. Objects are the same as the A2 version.

Experienced a few crashes near the edge of the map when entering a vehicle with PIP enabled.

Cherno Winter + AIA TP.

Do you have the AIA hotfixes installed?

Of course.

[torndeco 128]

Afew more things i noticed, some buildings / objects that heights are wrong.
The apartments opposite the Hospital in Cherno, are slightly under the ground.

The tallest Industrial Building Cherno the sign on the roof, is located on the ground level, instead of on the roof.
Think i saw another smaller sign with similar thing aswell, can't remember were :/

Was wondering any rough ETA when you plan on a new release with the sounds included.

Thanks

Thank you for this informations  ;)

Mmmh, I don't know, I'll check asap.

[tortuosit 486]

Playing the Pilgrimage mission on it, and it's really great. Love the mood and it is very welcome that no grass has to be drawn.

[seba1976 98]

GREAT map! The rpt spam problem is too big though... Stuttering and low FPS all over the place.

[Rydygier 1309]

Really nice! 

 

Not sure, what's possible/doable, but anyway here's, what IMHO would make it even more winter:

 

1. Enviromental sounds: tried with date set on January, but apparently the date makes no difference - anyway I can hear small birds, even crickets and such. Could be very moody to have instead authentic winter sounds, which from my experience consist some wind-origining sounds, if there is any wind, rarely some crow cawing, but mostly stunning silence as for nature, only the creak of snow under boots. 

 

2. Weather effect - replacing the rain with snow effect and no thunders, or at least coordination the map with the weather mods that can provide such effects. 

 

3. Probably out of reach, but unless we're talking about really early snow, the trees and the bushes should be much  less autumn, and more leave-less. 

 

4. Chimney smoke perhaps for the houses? 

 

5. The foggy breath by TPW will appear on this map, when playing with TPW's?

 

 

 

The rpt spam problem is too big though... 

 

Indeed. After less than minute I have more than 800 kB weight RPT, full of such thing:

10:50:37 Cannot load sound 'chernarus_winter\sounds\run1.wss'
10:50:37 Cannot load sound 'chernarus_winter\sounds\walk2.wss'
10:50:37 Cannot load sound 'chernarus_winter\sounds\run1.wss'
10:50:37 Cannot load sound 'chernarus_winter\sounds\run2.wss'

etc. All about some walking/running sounds, with numbers from 1 to 5. But It's known already, I read...

[alky_lee 279]

 

I think Kouris has got a bit carried away just because it's been snowing

 

TPW hud is showing the temperature as 24 degrees. Would that stop foggy breath?

[Rydygier 1309]

 

 

 Would that stop foggy breath?

 

 

AFAIR yes. Pilgrimage port, you're using, has currently date set on 24 June, so no wonder... But tried this map with TPW's and January set, and it was +12 C, maybe normal for Winter in Greece, but not for the snow, so probably no correlation between this map and TPW's anyway.

3. Probably out of reach, but unless we're talking about really early snow, the trees and the bushes should be much  less autumn, and more leave-less. 

 

agreed.

 

also you should look into the rvmats. if i remember correctly from messing with cherno trees, a lot of them have colours instead of white in the "forced diffuse" setting. you might want to set that to white to get rid of those orange and red tones. leave-less or not, that would already help a lot making it look even more snowy.

It's a good idea, I'll see that

 

2. Weather effect - replacing the rain with snow effect and no thunders, or at least coordination the map with the weather mods that can provide such effects. 

 

Really not a priority for me

 

3. Probably out of reach, but unless we're talking about really early snow, the trees and the bushes should be much  less autumn, and more leave-less. 

 

I know about that and the v1.1 will fix this issues.

 

4. Chimney smoke perhaps for the houses?

Maybe someday, it's depend of the author of TPW mod

Hello Arthyc!

 

First of all great map port!

Could you please define the mapSize in the CfgWorlds in the next release?
Seeing from Chernarus and Chernarus_summer the mapSize should be 15360.

 

I'm working on a mission where i need the mapSize to deal with random spawns etc.

 

Thanks!

[LyotchikSniper 261]

I'm working on winter rail structures for winter Chernarus. Сan you add them to your addon, when structures will be ready?

Example:

[dagg929 1]

Do people have to download your map to run it or does just the server and so long as folks have CUP or allinarma they can connect?

 

How's that work?

[seba1976 98]

Yeah, people have to download his map, how dare he?  ;)

[bigshot 64]

Nice idea and the perfect time of year to get into something like this.

 

 Hope you keep at it, thanks very much for this.

It's a terrain mod and not just a user-made mission, so yes players must download it. It's not enough if only the server has it.
