lordinquisitor Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 wait a minWasteland is a desertI know that the greenhouse effect makes the weather nutsbut since when does itrain in deserts ? XD All deserts except antartica which is technically a desert have rain to some degree. just depends on if you are luck enough to see it and how how cold it is to stop it reaching ground level. Perhaps it should just be like a "hat of Gloom" like in the cartoons where rain effects you only and so appears to fall everywhere you look. Of course you would need to turn it off in interiors. Weather would be brilliant, rain of course big duststorms that effect sight and lighting storms that randomly blast lighting at the ground.

TGBlank Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Thunderstorms would be perfectly fitting for the capital wasteland. So would duststorms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafahil Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 adding rad to rain would probably kill many raiders for the long term effect..... i'd rather want it to be with no radiation or at least a version with no rads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGBlank Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Could we please stop arguing about rads and more about mod making?.Has anyone tinkered or tried to create climate nif files?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureSnipe Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 If radioactive water is evaporated, the vapor is still irradiated. So, the rain would be radioactive. Off of that subject. I'm sure that you could easily take an animation for rain, add in the 1 rad/sec script, and have rain that works when you're in the open. I have honestly no idea what to do to make the rain visible from underneath a structure, but not falling through it. Although, if you made this script, you would also need to make it so that raiders and anyone else out in the wastes took shelter, and add in a good amount of rad-away when you run into their encampments.

muskabeatz Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 If radioactive water is evaporated, the vapor is still irradiated. So, the rain would be radioactive.No it wouldn't. Water itself cannot be radioactive, but the effect of it being radioactive is caused by what is in the water, for example, radioactive particles or some desription (uranium etc). And what is in the water doesn't evaporate with the water, just like when sea water evaporates you don't get salty rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skingrad24 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I'm working on a mod that adds rain see this thread for info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what is in the water doesn't evaporate with the water, just like when sea water evaporates you don't get salty rain. Actually, when irradiated water evaporates it's still radiated. The atoms of the water are what stay radiated. And the last time I checked, state change doesn't change the atomic composition of a substance. To become radioactive, water must1. absorb 2 neutorns each in hydrogen atoms.2. absorb 1 or more neutron each in oxygen atoms.3. dissolve a radioactive element or compound.or4. carry a radioactive substance in suspension.(taken off of yahoo answers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davidheat Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Ya there is Rad in the rain, but a very small amount, that it cant hurt you at all, And this because the vapor cant left the needed amount to hurt anything, but sitting Water can hold the amount needed to hurt (even kill) people in or drinking it, But when it turns in to vapor it drops most of it to make it self lighter, So Yes there is Rads in the Rain, But it cant hurt you (There is Rads in are rain, so the next time your in the rain, you are getting hit with Rads but it so little it dos not hurt you, and it well leave your body in less then 24 hours) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IxionInc Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Waaaiit.. I have an idea for something, not weather, but more like an enconter. What if random "dud" nukes went off over in the distance? And I'm talking big nukes, like "destroying Megaton" nukes. Or if there were ash storms in the downtown D.C. area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
