I would actually think that most snow mods right now are because of the weather/season...like SnowSquall Island for example..

... but mines going to have something that all yours doesnt...

EDIT: i went to structure bsp i waited for it to load(took like 2 seconds) scrolled down, now i see 4 rain dependencies.. all of them say Nulled out, now what, i donno if this helps but im doing Infinity... as well i never really use HHT because i haven't found many uses.

4?

Well, just fill one in with the rain tag. It should work.

Do i need any plugins for HHT???? because if i do ill download em.. o and, when i click the drop down box were it says ''Nulled out'' theres no other selection... see

Help..?

UntalkativeBunny · Post by **UntalkativeBunny** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 3:26 pm

did you rebuild with the "snow.rain.meta" tag? If not...that's why.

and HHT uses the regular plugins you use for HMT.

The only way yours is going to have something ours doesnt have, is to make it with the HEK.

hmm i need to rebuild eh??? havent really tried rebuilding, using hex or pmiing.... i should try this week end....

What does rebuilding exactly anyways?? Im so noobish at modding

UntalkativeBunny · Post by **UntalkativeBunny** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 7:13 pm

its recreating the map with new things.

short and dirty version:

rip apart a map (batch extract)
put some stuff in it (recursive extract, model decrap, etc)
rebuild with it. (rebuild)

i found this tutorial on making it snow...http://forums.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=59547

A few problems tho... i cant find these
effects/Particles/solid/bitmaps/Snow Flakes.bitm.meta
levels/b40/Snow.rain.meta
effects/pointPhysics/snow.pphy.meta

For some reason the map file instead of being b40... says b30, for my first time rebuilding i think i was doing great...until i ran into the little problem,
Maybe if someone is up to it try to rebuild Infinity so that it has snow on it... and tell me how you did it OR make a download for it..

If i rebuild to get snow will it be that people will have to download the mod, or will i be able just to see it, but not other people?

Sorry for asking for so much

go to the Structure BSP tag (will take a bit to load, be patient)

go to the very bottom and look for 'rain-'

click the drop down menu and select the snow (the only swap in there)

swap dependency

Done.

p.s. this works for the rain and bugs found on the c10.map too.

UntalkativeBunny · Post by **UntalkativeBunny** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 8:33 pm

make sure u recursively extracted the [rain] meta from b40 into your b40 snow folder, then copy the stuff from b40 snow into you build folder after you copied the stuff from batch extract.

P.S Deadhamster, he was asking about stuff before the rebuild.

DeadHamster · Post by **DeadHamster** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 8:35 pm

I was under the impression the tut pepsi posted required no rebuilding. No Rebuild=Easier

UntalkativeBunny · Post by **UntalkativeBunny** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 8:36 pm

The steps that pepsi or nessa posted were after you rebuilt, when there actually is a rain tag

DeadHamster · Post by **DeadHamster** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 8:40 pm

Ahh, I went through this topic a little bit ago and read "no hex-editing", and when I thought of it now I thought "no rebuild". My mistake.

hiheyhello · Post by **hiheyhello** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 8:51 pm

Ok Im really confused now... im going to redo everything again and if that dont work then i donno. Ill give yall an update in like 30 minutes

EDIT!!!!:theres no option to add snow... should i just switch maps???
Question... how do i restore my original maps after rebuilding???

UntalkativeBunny · Post by **UntalkativeBunny** » Fri Dec 07, 2007 9:27 pm

okay. just follow the tutorial normally. i dunno how you couldve screwed up.

And you copy and paste your backup into your maps folder to restore and original copy.
