Weather in maps that dont have it.

w00t..this can be a very versitile tool..thanks a ton xbox7887...with this you could easily make weather. However you would have to add each individual raindrop I think...

lol i wouldnt exactly want to emulate rain with this....although if u really wanted to go all out you could do rain, it just wouldnt be too fun to make.

i'n be using halo1 somewhat but it should aplly to halo2.

contained in the bsp there should be a 'weather polyhedra' as guerilla describes it as, it contains a list of planes where the weather will be 'rendered' and this is defined when creating the level in 3dsmax by using +weatherpoly in the material list. so for halo2 you would have to add each plane which would have a weather pallete asigned to it, and you wouldn't want to do this by hnad because some halo2 levels use over 7,000 poly's

. so this would be my guess, in the bsp there would be a index which would know where each plane/mesh is in the bsp and so maybe just maybe you could reference this index so each plane has the weather applied to it.

lots of theories and ideas, feel free to blow this post apart.

yea youre definitely right about the polies, it wouldnt be fun to do that by hand, but you could import it into the bsp.....it would just take a bit of work.

Coagulation: 12797 polies
Containment: 18705 polies
Ascension: 9339 polies
Waterworks: 23400 polies

That is a hell of a lot of polies to do it with...
May the lord be with the person setting themselves up with a sleepless month on that one

You can't use blue guerilla. Blue guerilla is a plugin system.

How did you get it? What exactly did you do? I have done a search for blue geurilla, and I can't find much. Does anyone know where I can learn about it? a link maybe? Thanks.

kornbread, blueguerilla is intergrated with the newest ADI
...save the plugin and use it in the scnr

kornbread · Post by **kornbread** » Wed Jun 15, 2005 1:50 pm

How do I save that Info in order to use it with blue guerilla? I figured out what blue guerilla is finally though!!

EDIT: I figured it out. You need to paste the code over the "collections" portion of the scnr plugin in the tag templates folder of ADI (the new one).

it might be because the coordinates were all offset 4 bytes from where they should be...heres an updated one below so see if that works any better
