#Avalanche

Do the particles have self shadows enabled?
gaunt lagoon
That's the idea 😉
Huh? Where would that setting be? I'm a complete noob when it comes to particle effects 😅
fossil solar
Material of the particle I think
gaunt lagoon
Did only see Receive Shadow, which was already enabled. I did notice that the Backlight was 1. I think they look better when turned to 0 now:
gaunt lagoon
Depends on how far the avalanche travels. There's a maximum of 13 fronts that generate 10 particles per second. So if it travels for 30 seconds in total, there should be about 2600 particles.
I estimate the worst case would be 17550 particles considering the maximum particle lifetime and an avalanche travelling longer than that.
fossil solar
To my knowledge on PC limit is 10240
gaunt lagoon
Ah, that's why sometimes culling happened when I triggered a lot of them 😅
More of an issue on my winterized Alpine Fortress terrain. It isn't really possible on Everon, since there aren't many suitable locations for longer avalanches.
fossil solar
I wonder if Xbox has lower limits

I’ll test it give me a map and what to do to get my self covered lol
gaunt lagoon
Kunar or Alpine Fortress should be suitable if you need mountainous terrains.
Take a GL and launch it at a steeper slope above you, covered with snow
Actually, I think there is an issue that the trigger doesn't work on dedicated servers, but only if the server also has an interface (i.e. hosted).
Need to further investigate
final moon
Will a rocket work?
gaunt lagoon
Pretty much anything that creates blast effects like RPG and grenades. Just not mines in MP for some reason.

@gaunt lagoon i cant get the avalache tokick up on xbox
gaunt lagoon
Hmm, not sure. Don't see a reason why Xbox would behave differently.
final moon
I shot rockets, tubes and bacons artillery and his explosions at it lol
gaunt lagoon
I'll add some logging after I fixed it for dedicated. Can Xbox users access log files?
fossil solar
no lol
gaunt lagoon
How the heck are you even supposed to do debugging for Xbox? 🙄
I guess I'll print it in the chat then for the time being.

get an xbox and keep publishing, downloading and testing 
chat sounds good, alternatively you can create a widget on screen and put the data you need in textwidgets
gaunt lagoon
Nah, I'm a laptop gamer all the way. Besides I got friends on Xbox that can help 😄
narrow grail
Awesome dude. One of the most creative/original ideas I've ever seen implemented in a game.

I changed the trigger mechanism, which hopefully also works on xbox now.
final moon
Same thang? I’ll blow some holes in the mountain tonight
gaunt lagoon
Exactly
final moon
Cool
gaunt lagoon
Good news, I managed to fix all with the rewrite. Friend on xbox could also trigger it.

love the winterized mod, is it possible in reforger to also delete leaves and bushes to make everything look dead like winter too? @gaunt lagoon

I may add it in future. While you can simply change the alpha of foliage for close range, mid range is trickier to make it look good enough.

This is insanely cool
Did you try any other stuff other than avalanches? I assume stuff like building levolution isn't possible until we get it in vanilla reforger but I'm curious if stuff like tornadoes or sandstorms are doable with a similar system
gaunt lagoon
Oh, I believe a lot is possible with Enfusion once the environment is more destructible. Personally, I'm not intending to add other types of disasters at this time, since I'm mostly interested in mountainous maps.
raw robin
I really hope someone does do some other ones cause yeah tornadoes would be sorta underwhelming without destruction but a sandstorm could definitely work
Basically the only cool feature from battlefield 2042
gaunt lagoon
As I said, this is out of scope for this project
raw robin
Oh yeah I know just saying it would be cool
