I am trying to create falling snow on my map on the UT 2004 Editor. The problem is when I insert a xWeatherEffect it does nothing. Googling it didn't help either. Most tutorials out there are for UT3. I also tried looking of CTF-Grendal's rain effect but didn't help. Does anyone know a good snow tutorial for UT2004? Thanks!

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.
I only know how it's done in UT3 and that is essentially a "Raincube". It's a mesh consisting of multiple sheets if you will with a panning texture on it that makes it look like rain.
xWeatherEffect - Snow Example
It is required to add a texture for xWeatherEffect to work.
A:
Find an appropriate texture.
- Use the texture package EmitterTextures.
- Select the MultiFrame group.
- Select the texture Snow_FB.
-- If not found, click the Load Entire Package icon above the MRU tab.
Select the texture.
B:
Add: xWeatherEffect Actor
C:
Open: xWeatherEffect Properties
D:
Unfold: Display
Select: Skins
Select: Add
Select: [0]
Select: Use
(This will place a reference to the selected texture in this field.)
xWeatherEffect.NumCols = 4
xWeatherEffect.NumRows = 4
They are both 4 because the texture is broken into 4x4 regions for variety.
If you make it 1x1 then the entire texture will be used as a snowflake.
