Stormfox 2

[Marco]

The usage of STORMFOX 2 has unfortunately been drastically reduced, especially it's weather system which greatly helped with immersion and world-building. Especially now that we've moved to a more diverse weather climate, (far-east). I'd like to know why stormfox is being so sparingly used now when it is such a great tool.

If I had to guess, this is likely due to the server being offline currently.

XD, no I mean when the server was UP. I didn't see usage of weather phenemons such as 'rain'.

It was always on, and iirc, people were complaining at just how dark it was making things.

Yeah people were complaining it makes things too dark, but I'll try tweak with the settings if I can and get a good config going

Stormfox-2 is crazy (bad) on some maps. Good rule of thumb is to set the time to mid-day no matter what weather you're trying to achieve, so the sun isn't casting any long shadows and is centered. Night time however is just a bit of a mess with shadows if you're using any form of weather involving clouds. So, clear-skies at night are better.

No, SF2 isn't being sparingly used. We'll still be using it on the next map and probably all the ones that follow as well.

We also constantly take advantage of the weather options when suited.
