Weather

Archive: 9 posts


snow, rain, thunder, tornadoes,etc. It would add a little more mood to it. If I wanted a snowy snowball winter survival, that stacks up and covers you then you freeze to death (possibly bring back ice). Maybe a CoDBOps Jungle Assult with a dynamic typhoon. Also possibly a "Day After Tommorrow" situation?
Ok so there are 3 thing you need to make weather. Wind, water, and Heat. Now if you turn the wind up and everyhing else a nutral, then you will get wind (duh. Now heat and wind will cause an updraft, then add some water and you have a thunder storm. Same conditions then addd more wind you will get a tornado. That was just an example. The weather should be a global thing. Mabye put it in a weather switch (like global lighting thing). The 3 settings would be Temp, wind, and water. I don't need water that stacks up or snow. Just little global things like lighting.

Well It seems like everyone wants this. I say we should make this a populat thread. Send this to your friends.

There are many ways of doing this already. For example, snow and rain involves emitting tiny particles to look like snow or rain. The only downside is it takes up too much thermo. I agree, a weather setting would be an excellent feature to add in, and possibly a bit more thermo friendly. Great suggestion!2010-12-03 22:20:00

I get what your saying, but care to elaborate more? I love the idea, it would be great to have settings, such as intensity or even size, to determine how frequently the precipitation falls. You can easily use emitters along with the new 'Water Droplet' bullet item to make rain, and I'm sure with just a little creativity, you could pretty much do anything else. I'm not putting the idea down, but with all the new tools there are to offer, we can do pretty much anything. Heck, you can even use collision sensors in tandem with the global water objects to make the water level increase as the rain falls! Just my opinion, though! EDIT: One thing that has been suggested many times, and I believe was planned to be in the original LBP1, is wind! Then again, we have movers for that! Just a little logic, and BAM! You got yourself wind!2010-12-03 22:32:00

I think rather than just having rain and snow have a bar for the amount of rain you want like 0% to 100% and then have a temperature bar so you can basically choose if you want snow, sleet or rain. The change in temperature could also make a change in appearance obviously this would never happen but it would be cool if when you had the temperature low water would freeze and icicles would form and stuff and if you had the temperature high water levels would drop and things would start becoming in to desert.2010-12-04 23:06:00

I would loooove to see this feature! Sandstorms on Tatooine, snowstorms on Hoth... erhm... sorry, SW on the brain again.

Anyways, it would be great to have... but I'm guessing it's a lot trickier to code than what Mm have had time to do for the new game so far. Perhaps some day we'll get it as an added feature... but I think that day is a long way off right now. It would be great to see this as a feature where the particles interact with the other objects in the environment for sure. A bit of snow build up on vehicles, buildings, etc. that stays at a constant depth even. Sandstorms that have pockets of sand build up in recessed areas and those facing the oncoming storm.

It would really be a great visual addition to our wonderful little world. The thermo is just too low for us to do anything that's truly great looking at this point, and this type of Global Weather Tool would really help in both those departments.

well, i remember way back when asking for water seemed ridiculous because yada yada we could make it work anyway with blue gas or glass ugh... so i support this. i think it would be great someday.2010-12-05 09:39:00

Well that probably means we have about a year to a year and a half after release until we get it then, that's if they notice people want it.2010-12-05 11:38:00

I would like this, especially if it came with a Global Switch like water or lighting, so it could change mid-level. Though I imagine LBP1 hasn't had much thought with LBP2 on the horizon, but who knows, maybe it'll be in LBP2 at some point?2010-12-05 11:38:00

Honesty I'll be too happy with the new features to care about weather for a while. It'd be nice but I don't really need it.2010-12-05 15:21:00
