Post by: StepS on December 25, 2013, 11:03 PM
This module will allow you to enable snow anytime without having to change the date and without affecting map generation, as well as customize it a bit.

NEW:

* - on most common PCs, setting more than 150000 particles may decrease the FPS.

Happy new year! wkSnow updated to v0.2.

NEW:
  • All W:A versions since 3.6.28.0 are supported.
  • Change size of snow. Valid sizes are "Small", "Normal", "Big" and similar, or 1, 2, 3, where 2 (Normal) is default.
  • Change amount of snow particles to any value from 1 to 2147483647*
  • You can force no snow for Christmas (and other days) with the corresponding option in ini file (set ForceNoSnow to 1). Snow will be disabled, and the amount/size values will be ignored. The module still has to be "Enabled" for this to work. Christmas map generation is not affected.

* - on most common PCs, setting more than 150000 particles may decrease the FPS.

there's a big problem with introducing new sprites. Frontend palette is extremely limited (which is why there's no white space in settings screen), and also which is why the doomsday comets only flew in the main screen. Their palette is messed up otherwise. Even if you modify the .pal files it's still not all so good: various graphics use the stars/spanners palette slots, and depend on them.
