Thread: Adding/Changin Temperature7 Jan 2014, 03:19 AM Jump back to quoted post7 Jan 2014, 02:12 AMBrummbær If you increase the time between blizzards to a value high enough you should have the cold effects without a blizzard happening. How to do that is described in http://www.coh2.org/topic/10932/how-to-blizzard-in-custom-maps The tutorial doesn't show how to add time between blizzards, my comment was about my failure to do so...and what code i was trying...

Thread: Unable to publish maps, and new sga's not appearing in game6 Jan 2014, 20:32 PM While a previous patch "fixed" special characters in the naming of the files and folders, concerning exporting, I would recommend to get rid of the parenthesis, and spaces. Use underscores to separate segments of the file name. Example: 2 - 4 Feodosia(4).sga This has spaces and parenthesis. Should be... 4p_Feodosia.sga or 4p_Feodosia_Winter.sga (if u made a winter version) It is HIGHLY advisable to follow the format the developers used with file naming, even if they "fixed" it in a patch. This also applies to the folder the map files reside in. If you export the data.sga archive, it will give you all the stock maps, and you can see what I am refering to. This is where I would start anyway, it may not fix your problems, but it will eliminate the possibilities. In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: How-to: Blizzard in Custom maps6 Jan 2014, 13:15 PM I think I have almost figured out how to change the intervals and time of the blizzards, using coding from the MP_Blizzard scar file. So far, I was able to get it to successfully use my times, but after 1 cycle of blizzards it crashed the map to desktop. I'll post some coding after work. EDIT: After a few tries, I was unsuccessful at getting it to work. The coding I was trying was doubling the blizzard rotation, in effect having two simultaneous blizzards, one at the times I set, and one at the default times. I haven't been able to define these variables in the scar file. These were pulled from blizzardmultiplayer.scar Code -- timing variables blizzard_interval_min = t_blizzardData.blizzard_interval_min or 400 -- min seconds between blizzards blizzard_interval_max = t_blizzardData.blizzard_interval_max or 800 -- max seconds between blizzards blizzard_exit_min = t_blizzardData.blizzard_exit_min or 160 -- min duration of a blizzard blizzard_exit_max = t_blizzardData.blizzard_exit_max or 240 -- max duration of a blizzard blizzard_transition_time = t_blizzardData.blizzard_transition_time or 60 -- how long it takes to transition in or out of a blizzard blizzard_transition_time_out = t_blizzardData.blizzard_transition_time_out or 30 -- how long it takes to transition out of a blizzard blizzard_transition_ticks_per_second = t_blizzardData.blizzard_transition_ticks_per_second or 2 -- defines how smooth the gameplay transitions are In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: 8p The Road to Devastation5 Jan 2014, 19:23 PM Updated the spring version today. Both copies are on steam workshop, make sure you are subscribing to my workshop, for the most up to date versions. In: Map Sharing
Thread: Any good texture tile tutorials?3 Jan 2014, 13:19 PM There is a limit to the number of textures you can have, but I cannot remember the number. In, The Road to Devastation, I have 6-7 textures depending on winter or spring. In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: How do I import custom Atmosphere settings?3 Jan 2014, 13:15 PM You can use Achive.exe to extract data.sga and its contents. This is how you access the stock maps, to see how they are done. I'm at work, so I can't get you the exact instructions for extracting it. There should be a sticky. As far as saving your own atmosphere preset, I believe it cannot be done yet, as it would need to be saved INTO data.sga, and compressed. I would think a change to that file would also flag Valve ANTI cheat, which MAY be why it cannot be done yet. Just speculation. In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: Snow details and effects2 Jan 2014, 13:24 PM Use the "Top Layer" in the heightmap editor. In atmosphere properties, you must define the texture of the deep snow. Also, only certain objects can have snow put on them. This is the same method for applying mud in non winter maps. In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: How do you create Ice/Deep Snow?1 Jan 2014, 17:42 PM Both deep snow, and deep mud, are applied using the heightmap editor, the check box marked, top layer. No texture will appear, unless you specify the textures in your atmosphere properties. Loading presets will also load preset snow/mud settings. In: Mapping Discussion
Thread: more newbie questions29 Dec 2013, 21:05 PM - Is there a way to rotate objects a precise amount? Like 30, 45, 90 degrees? 2. I took a lot of time looking for such a thing but I didn't come across such a option. There's an option to rotate a group of objects by pressing shift and strg. Hold "R", then click and drag on the specific circle that is on the correct axis you wish to rotate. There will be a feedback display with the exact rotation in degree's, from its previous state.

Thread: About Ice15 Dec 2013, 14:46 PM Is the checkbox, relative to terrain, checked? Adjust the elevation of the object, it should no longer care what is below it. In: Mapping Discussion
