Snow in SH3?

Hi, Kaleuns...I´m dreaming in a mod for have snow in SH3. I think in a graphic mod replacing the "rain lines" by other snow graphic. Is it possible? I don´t know where are those "rain lines". The mod should be activated when we navigate the Artic or elsewhere we want to replace "rain" with "snow" (manually via JSGME).

Best regards.

What I remember is that my experiments to create snow by manipulating the rain-entry in scene.dat ended in failure. Auto-activating mods is also not possible.

Snow is great. Somehow I remember it was available in Sh2 (flakes only). The complexity comes when you want to see that the snow covers the ships. Something we expected in Sh5. Unfortunately it isn't possible in Sh3 as someone sure would have created it already.

But I tell about snow (as rain), not about snow skins. I think in a mod replaces the rain graphics (those lines) by snow graphics.

Regards.

If you swap a rain graphic with a snow graphic all you will ever see is snow because the game engine is limited to just the one/single graphic.

I think in a graphic mod replacing manually the rain with snow. The same we make with the skins: change via JSGME. If I patrol an area of the Artic, I make the activation of the "snow mod"; when "rain" (after the instruction of weather engine in SH3), I see "snow". Of course, I don´t know how to make that

Best regards.

I have variable clothes via SH Commander, by dates. There are many many files and folders, but I have winter clothes in winter, and summer clothes in summer.

Also I have the winter skin in Commander, activated by date.

Regards.

Houlala....That sounds really great! Could you possibly tell how I could do the same for clothes / Time of the the year?

Merci
