Snow Ages

[Nek'rahm]

Since we have the program Riveal 7.1 to rip textures from MOUL, and we also have ddb174's work w/ MOUL and Uru:CC... isn't it now possible to make Ages with snow?

Open for discussion

I don't see what that has to do with it. For snowfall you need the particle system, which has not yet been implemented. And as for snow textures... just go ahead and make them.

[Nek'rahm]

I just figured that the information from Eder Delin could be used to find this...

I must still be kinda naive... herm...

Sorry if my reply came out somewhat harsh. Snow is a good subject for discussion.

What I would have liked to see in Delin are footprints in the snow. It would be nice to have footprint support in PyPRP in the future. Is it known how that works?


Edit: And a word of warning about ripped textures. We cannot distribute those with our ages.

Dandelions, snowflakes, leaves falling, etc are all handled with DirectX particle system that Plasma uses.

Its not yet a high critical component yet, so we'll have to wait.

Yes, it might be possible to reverse engineer Snow from the converted Eder Delin, it could also be reverse engineered from Teledahn, Personal, Cleft, Ercana, or any number of Ages.

If you'd like to try your hand at getting usable data out of the hex, feel free.

Doesn't Ahnonay have footprints? I recall that when you walk out of the water at a specific location you get wet footprints for a while. I would assume it would be feasible to use that as a starting point.

I wouldn't be surprised if such functionality is similar to ripples you get when you jump in the water. But whether this is the result of some fancy python programing or a built in function of the engine, I don't know.

[D'Lanor]

Yes, footprints are similar to splash ripples. In Relto for example we can find both the plDynaFootMgr and plDynaRippleMgr classes. There is no Python involved in these.

I wonder if the plDynaRippleMgr class is included in Lontahv's realistic water project?
