crazy mike 567 Posted November 6, 2017 Winter 2035 Spoiler What is this? Simply put, this modification is a re-texture mod, taking anything green, and making it white, as in snow! Roughly 12 hours ago from making this post I decided after I woke up to create something for the wintertime in Arma, thus here we are now with a new WIP mod, Winter 2035. The current progress and milestones are as follows: Retextured all plants Retextured all mask images Retextured Stratis satellite image Retextured Altis satellite image Integrated snowing based on overcast (its modified rain) Winter-esque ambient sounds Clutter models to create much more depth to the snow, these will also be large enough to overflow onto the sides of the roads Retexture all vanilla units, weapons, vehicles (this will happen depending on the popularity of the mod) Figure out a way to make roofs snowy (this is more then likely impossible, I dont touch the wrp or p3ds) Modified CfgWorlds with new cloud and lighting to compliment snow ArmA 1 Snowman Fixed rain sounds https://gyazo.com/5cc7cef13e84b6533557686d20feb537 https://imgur.com/R9ME8uh This mod will be overriding vanilla textures thus it will not be "compatible" with other modifications that wish to keep the arma flora OR mask images normal not-winter color, and is only meant to be used for terrains that are winter themed. The main reason that Stratis was done first and NOT Altis, simply put is that Stratis is a fraction the size and was much quicker to do. Altis will be done aswell however that will take atleast a few days of nonstop work, which doesnt help my add at all. I hope once released this mod will bring life back to splendid Altis & Stratis for other people as much as it has for me, with some winter gear mods I plan to have quite a few more missions on the islands! Steam Workshop: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1195447305 Thanks for checking this out, I hope to bust this out quick to get back to a new terrain project I've yet to announce. <3 Check out some videos in which this mod is being used! Here are some bonus things when I was making the mod on a weekend awhile back :P Spoiler half and half stratis was originally very grey so i changed some values screwing with the rain for the first time lol https://i.gyazo.com/534b9ca05153b40453459037c4bfe81f.mp4 getting it to where a point i was happy https://i.gyazo.com/5cc7cef13e84b6533557686d20feb537.mp4 altis right before i started with white trees only half and half realizing i could do roofs too (but not the low lods thatd take so much work lol) 39 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Delta Hawk 1829 Posted November 7, 2017 Looks great! Do you plan on retextureing the roads to add snow, slush or something? The clean roads look very distracting. Keep up the great work Mike! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crazy mike 567 Posted November 7, 2017 Im seeing about making snow clutter which will be large enough to sneak onto the roads to give the illusion that its been plowed, right now you can see it in the video below but its super dogshit depending on the popularity of the modification i also may expand into unit retexturing so you wouldnt need to load many mods to have winter units, atleast vanilla unit retexturing, however I may port some arma 2 units and make them winter units, like the hoodie independents ect also i started on altis Spoiler and currently i dont have plans to do malden, way too much work to even do altis i do alot of other shit and this was started kinda on a whim and last i was playing with the ambient sounds for a few mins last night, few more things to tweak but yerp (close your eyes when watching the vid its like 4 fps) 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EO 11275 Posted November 7, 2017 Looks chilly. Looking at the screenshots, have you removed some clutter models? Your probably aware that Altis/Stratis have some broken clutter models that suffer horrendous pop-in, this would be a great opportunity to remove them from this beautiful modification, although as I said, the screenshots are telling me there gone already. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BetterDeadThanZed 16 Posted November 7, 2017 I've seen snow scripts before and I find that either they cause it to snow inside buildings and cars, or when you get into a car, the snow disappears completely. How does this snow work in these situations? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How does this snow work in these situations? the snow is modified rain, so it respects what the rain respects, affected by object lods and does not go through them, ect there is no scripting involved, the engine handles the snow 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pvt. partz 248 Posted November 8, 2017 Great work! I was going to mention that earlier and thought that might be an insane amount of work. Namalsk has the same thing. Will the hills be slippery when driving and/or on foot? Will you be able to re-texture the rocks? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
