More types of weather

[stoic prism]

Here's some concepts:

Afternoon :

Rain 1:

Rain 2:

Storm:

Night (the real night) :

This is good

Storm should have rain too but other than that its how i image it

[stoic prism]

Also rain should be always available. Like rain at night or in the afternoon

<setrain>

[valid marten]

Combine rain1, 2 and thunder

[valid marten]

This is more like morning

Sunrise/sunset?

And also @dapper stone could be possible to add a “time bar” in the level editor menu?

Like this:

[dapper stone]

yes I was actually playing with this in the editor

So it's definitely possible, but it's super hard to see game at night right now so I need to resolve that

[valid marten]

That's the point of night vision

Unless it's not even barely visible

[dapper stone]

yeah night vision is kind of a hack so I need to come up with a better solution. It's actually just that I need a moon to come up when it's night

and have that as a darker light source

[valid marten]

I see

[dapper stone]

ok so something is wrong with the reflections in the water

once I solve that I can move the sun around niely and let you guys set hte time of day in a function

to anything you want

[dapper stone]

I fixed water reflections!

One step closer

I still need a moon to come out at night

but shouldn't be impossible

[stoic prism]

Awesome

What about the weather?

[dapper stone]

yep I have to be careful it doens't slow down the game

but I can do different skyboxes at least as that is same speed

will see if I can get fast rain and snow

[honest flower]

@dapper stone , what about weather and different kinds of lightning(time of day)? It would be super nice to have that. As well as enhanced night mode with lights in buildings, street lamps etc...

[dapper stone]

yes lights in buildings is a good idea

weather is a bit harder as its very easy to make it run slowly

but I will see if there are some fast/simple options

[dapper stone]

First test with lights

[honest flower]

That will be a great addition to night ops. When you look at it, you know that lights are really missing for night mode.

[dapper stone]

yes definitely

Meanwhile in the presentation video of the PL-15... 🤔🤐

You guys spottet?

Is this a teaser that clouds will be something? And look at the color - seems to be sunset or sunrise time... 😉

[dapper stone]

Oh lol this is just a beatiful skybox I like

but yes this is the dream to get a scene like this in game

we can acually get this skybox in no problem (except they take a few mb of data)
