Sorry guys  . hearty0 is right. Go to the first post for another update. This update has everything from the last update, and Thanatos was kind enough to make better looking and stacking snow with glows. Trust me, it looks good. So thank him as well.

Thankz Doodz, will try tonight. Did you magically fix emitter lag too? If not, it's cool anyways. |

I haven't done any lengthy testing, but for having glows, it seemed to lag less. Still, with that many particles that are constantly being kept track of, there's going to have to be some lag. If anyone experiences lag, first try lowering the particles per minute (in snow.ini) to a lower number, and test to see if it helps. As a last resort, disable post processing if there's too much lag. |

Sorry for double post, but has anyone got any errors from the fixed patch? I've received a PM saying that the ice material couldn't be defined, how does it work for you guys? (My Icelands.rte is different, there's some WIP stuff I've been working on in it.) Thanks. |

I'ma make a gif of pure epicness for this. Give me maybe 30 mins. Ninjaedit: I added another material, so if something collides with that mat index, not my problem. But just change the index ice is assigned to. |

Well... you could have. IF YOUR PATCH DIDN'T DELETE MY ICE MATERIAL! Nice. That deleted it from my computer. So upload a fixed version please. Where the material Ice actually exists. |

No problem Oh, and here is your epic gif. It's not really epic in the sense of "omg! awesome" but more in the "dammmmnnnn....." I call it "After the War" (I't's got that desolate, nuclear aftermath feel to it)  Bout 3 mins of snow there, with 1 extra snow emitter. Oh, and hint: Reducing game speed to optimal physics engine speed (smoothest) the ice compacts very nicely. You can see the difference in the layers. |

Cool! I like how the snow covers the ship gibs, it gives a good impression like you said. This is definitely going up front. |

The lag is totally worth it on this map. To see bodies covered up by snow, priceless. |

Thanks. I'm glad you like it, and if I do say so myself, that's probably my favorite feature.

This is quite an interesting map. A question, though; Do the custom activities included completely replace the normal spawns, or are they in addition to the normal spawns? |

| Post subject: | Re: Icelands - Patch #2 & *New Image* |
Thanks. It replaces normal spawns completely with the snow actors and weps. |

so does the snow still hut actors and pile on terrain? |
