[Bepi__ 54]

Wow. That is cool...

[ilikehotdogsalot 307]

Want.

[Prophet42 1,500]

Must have!!

[jag140 9]

Please excuse me while I pick my jaw off of the ground. I want, no... I NEED to have this.

Now, if only the rain and snow could happen at certain dates instead of continuously. That would be epic.

Snow controller by xannepan

[JCmustng11 55]

I have no words for this beauty of a thing...

This can add a whole new level to the CJ experience

[Cefien 361]

For the the moment there, i thought i can download it already. It turn out to be a work in progress, after all.

But, i can't wait the outcome.

[dabadon5 295]

HOLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY !!

[jason leo 485]

Xannepan, you're insane !

This must-have mod is superb !

[hotChocolate 95]

Yeah, when I first saw this over at SC4D, I literally didn't believe that was real SC4 gameplay... It defies all the laws of SC4physics! But, I want it.

[RepublicMaster 428]

Woah this mod looks great! We finally have weather!

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

Well, I doubt it will grant multi-level water tables. Otherwise, very nice.

Seasonal snow has always been available through the 'snow' command (needs extra cheats dll). Session only.

[B.C builder 291]

AMAZIIIIIIIIIIIIING !! WOW !! I don't have the words...

[7238320 77]

Xannepan has released a new video:

[libellibicus 396]

That is amazing. A definite "Must Have" when it gets released

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

Very good. This is a real breakthrough. Congratulations.

[Wiecher 192]

Oh, I hadn't seen that second one yet.

It's just too incredible, I don't even have words for it.

But I wouldn't be me if I didn't have some critique: Rainbows don't work that way!

[MandelSoft 2,769]

Another reason to love Xannepan's work. Not only does he do a fantastic job with BATting old buildings (Paris is his specialitly), but he's also daring to explore new grounds. Therefore, Xannepan is and still remains a legend in our community.

Also, ERMAHGERD FREAKIN' RAINBOWZ!!!1!1!one But where is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow?

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

Sometimes I think some people would complain if they were being hung with a gold rope.

[lhrob 213]

Reminds me of a full-arc rainbow I saw one time. It was Spring 1995, and I was driving along I-40 just east of Flagstaff, Arizona after a rain storm. The rainbow literally arched over the interstate north/south. It was the most incredible sight. Many people were stopping along the highway to take pictures of it.

This is a rainbow which "appeared" to span the Ohio River between my hometown of Cincinnati and Covington, Kentucky. http://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/2343536.jpg

Hi guys,

It's been a while since I have been around here at simtropolis. I saw this topic and wanted to leave a quick comment. Off course to thank you for the nice motivating comments. But the Main reason not to try to raise expectations too high (yet) There are some limitations to this mod, performance impact may be the most important show stopper for slower pc's. I am really stretching the limits here of what can be done with the game, so I also need to make some though choices to balance realism and performance. Moreover despite my new gained knowledge much of the effect dir still remains unknown, and for most part finishing this will require an endless trial and error approach.

Having said that, on a blank large map, as you see in the video I don't see any performance impact on my laptop yet. I hope I soon have a beta release for testing available.

Cheers,

alex

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

Keep up the good work, Alex.

I am probably the most oddball operator of any since I run on Linux. If you need a beta tester with a weird set up, let me know.

I can only run in software rendering due to a problem with buffer switching in the wine (Windows Executive) layer of the operating system, but will be happy to co-operate if you wish.

[SC4Fanatic 3]

WOW!!! The weather mod is an absolute must have! Very impressive. Can't wait to test it.

[lhrob 213]

Is it going to affect the city...kinda like when a tornado is initiated? I mean is it actually going to cover the ground with snow, or make puddles when it rains?
