Hi.
I was wondering if it would be possible to add a command which will pick up the "weather" variable, and enable us to alter effects according to the weather.
For instance, it would be useful to have a line something like;
? getrain >=0.5
The reason for this would be to reduce or eliminate the amount of dust produced by vehicles in the rain. I have written a script for rotorwash dust which would be more realistic if it didnt work in the rain, and the cars and tanks also would look better. Of course in heavy rain you could alter the particle array to produce spray instead of dust, that too may be nice.
I know its only a small detail, but its the small details that have kept me playing this game and no other since the demo came out, so I know you guys appreciate the value of them.
I also wondered if there is any way to detect the terrain you are flying/driving over??? As in a similar way you could alter the particle effects to suit, especially over water.
Thanks very much :o)
