skingrad24 Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 My kind of night! And I get wrecked by some Enclave.The rain makes for a very cool atmosphere at night. BTW are you going to make rain fade in and out or will it only start or stop when you are inside or will it just pop on and off? The rain is an activator that follows the player when the weather is rainy and goes to a dummy cell when it isn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skingrad24 Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 The latest one is very good, the only problem is the billboarding not being locked to the z axis. I'm still working on this, I learnt what to do, I have only to work with/against Nifskope Alchemy :wallbash: whenever you can send me an email [email protected] with the file (I haven't receive non yet) or give me a link to the download on a pmthanks a lot I have just sent you the mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 This new version is a lot better, the frame rate hit is hardly noticeable (4x2.2ghz, 3GB DDR2@800mhz, 1GB HD4890, 1440x900 2xAA/8xAF). I've not run into any other oddities yet, I'm still using the non radiation version, I'll put in a few more hours with that before switching to the radiation one.

skingrad24 Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 A note to testers, the radiation caused by rain doesn't pop up the radiation bar, i think it is better because I find it quite annoying, so to see if your rads are increasing type on the console player.getav radiationrads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skingrad24 Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 A question to all people who read this: Do you prefer line-shape raindrops that have a glitch when you look vertically (you see horizontal raindrops falling on your face) or dot-shape raindrops? As I don't want to do a poll I will use this message to track votesBeta testers votes count as 2 normal votes Line |||||||Dot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted1084753User Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Line, definitely. Little dots of rain just don't work, destroys immersion as far as I'm concerned (I know, it destroys immersion when you look up but how often do you honestly look that far up?)

Wraiven Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I would have to say the line. It looks more like its falling down in motion. Just my opinion :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilotheretard Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 You won't know until you've seen it in game, and neither do I, but horizontal lines sound horrible! Maybe show us some pics? Just by guesssing I'd say maybe very short lines would work the best, so it's not that noticeable when you briefly look up? I know that dots can work though, when done properly, look at the gta games, but it has to be dense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboUK Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I agree with lines, I'm not sure drops would look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoujanCC Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 This looks fantastic, looking forward to a release. Any sign of a public beta in the near future? One thing I would say is it would be good if the radiation esp (or at least one of the esps, if there are multiple) is balanced with the vanilla game. I've used mods before where they are not and having a radiation effects increasing mod can make it unplayable e.g. the rad levels get so high so quick you die extremely quickly. If I may add my 2p regarding the visual effect I would say lines for sure but I'd like to see what happens when you look up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
