Did someone compare this to the Ealing comedies? I've shot people for less.

I think thunder and lightning need to be modeled so that one out of every 3000 tanks gets damaged by it and one or more soldiers(depending on the season) get striken dead.

[Guest Rob/1]

No just in the back ground not hiting the men not to say that wouldn't look cool.

Maybe it'll be in Combat Mission: Beyond Thunderstrome.

After witnessing exceptional bravery from his Celtic mercenaries, Alexander the Great called them to him and asked if there was anything they feared. They told him nothing, except that the sky might fall on their heads.

The little people say: no.

No, there will be no sequels. Charles and Steve have given up wargame design in disgust and have gone off to Jamaica to invest their new-found wealth in the drug trade. -Michael emrys

[Guest Pillar]

It's too hard.

Sorry.

In all seriousness, lightning in the background would be a cool effect, but in order to do it well CM would need to use dynamic lighting, which it does not. Maybe in CM2 or 3.

How about headlights on the vehicles. For instance say your KT is travelling at the speed of light and you turn the headlight on, do you see anything?

rob cool idea, maybe in cm2 or somewhere down the road bts can use shaders like q3

shaders are textures built up in stages, each stage being a bmp image that manupulates the shader somehow, like reflection, light, masking etc

each stage is controlled by keywords that are typed into the shaders individual script

this would allow for animated skies with layers of clouds for different heights and I could imagine another layer as lightening that strikes every once in a while at a random spot and the light reflects off everything with a reflecting shader nearby

only drawback is that each polygram, which is a surface of an object, that has a shader has to be redraw by the computer once for each stage, which eats alot of memory

and you know what lightning could also just be a sprite that comes down like artilery if it strikes somewhere on the map hehe, seen that happen many a time in populous with my kaka shaman

damn cool idea

[Pvt. Ryan]

Ditto, it depends on the camoflage.

I think by the time CM2 comes out we will be amazed at how far graphics have advanced and what the game will be capable of. Or not.

Anyone know what background .wav gets played during rain? Make a new one with thunder sounds. Lightning I could do without. (Hurts my eyes )

I'm still amazed at the bomber runs and the shadow that you see on the ground when the plane attacks. Weather would just be a feature that I would turn off because of my limited concentration and ....what was i writing about now? hmmm

So this is the thread that got Rob/1 in a hissy-fit.

Absolutely not. Lightning (and its sound resulting in thunder) is typically associated with convection-type storms or where there is a certain temperature difference between the upper and lower air lofts. It is common to have rainstorms without lightning just as it is to have lightning without rain!
