Imagine this...

[NeoNite]

The entire unreal world you explore in the retail game, but covered in snow. Winter on ehm.. :O) gryphon, napali, nali planet whatever you like to call it.
Imagine exiting the vortex rikers and seeing Nyleve covered in snow.
Snow flakes falling down, howling wind etc etc...
The Nali and their cattle (and rabbits) adapted to the ice age :O) plenty of iceskaarj, ice krall etc...

Spaceships like the ISV-Kran and Terraniux almost deserted, frozen architecture (example: the xidia map "genomewarriors) but still the occasional group of iceskaarj or icemercenary hanging around :O) heh...

Sometimes I try imaging what it would be like :OB

Hey, maybe someone can make a christmas sp mappack, where you have to save Santa Nali from the evil Iceskaarj

Lol, just kidding.

Or maybe the Nali town of Frigidarium is under the control of the evil Skaarj overlord Santa Claws, and you have to rid the town of Santa's Little Helpers (Krall in pixie costumes).

 

[NeoNite]

;-) Sure why not.

Hey you know, that's pretty funny :O)
Not a bad idea really.

Quake had a partial conversion where you had to save santa claus from the evil eh.. shambler (something like that)
Quake goons stole christmas

Snow would be cool in unreal, but that's all possible and more with unreal, redone, with the unreal warfare engine!

 

[NeoNite]

Remember that snowy level show in the unrealtechnology demo (released in eh late 2000?)...
Now that one looked good to me :O)

 

[Erika]

Would we have to edit all the existing maps to add snow, or should we remake the levels from scratch?

 

[NeoNite]

Well ...

 

[Hellscrag]

We're conteplating icy levels in our sequel project at UnrealSP. It'd be great if we could get some falling snow in there too; but I don't think we'll have anything quite like my above post!

 

[3D FPS]

You know, someone could truly fully redo the original unreal....if they wanted to with the unreal warfare engine....here are the three things you need: The Brains, Time, and Money. And more! ~

 

[Hellscrag]

ingen and co were working on bringing it to Unreal 2. It'd be very cool to see all of Unreal's maps done with the scope of CTF-NyLeve2, but I suspect it'll never truly materialise, as it's such a huge task.

Hey that's easy!

Yeah, that's great, you retextured the terrain to ice textures but we are missing two things: Raining snow and soft snow!

 

[Sir_Brizz]

and footprints in the snow!!!!

do it in unreal2. If someone makes an unreal sequel in the new engine with stuff like this I would them forever!!

 

[3D FPS]

And realistic snow sound effects!

 

[NeoNite]

I've converted Nyleve a couple of days ago, .. well.. it's really experimental :-/
you know. I just wanted to know what it would look like.
I've used textures from an UT level. (No way I'll EVER put this online, though the textures are free to use but still...)

Still needs a lot of work. (ligthing, colour of the water etc.,wall textures, maybe a different skybox (?).. I wish I could find some pine tree models somewhere)
And snow in Nyleve? THe level is pretty open isn't it?

Footprints are in :O)

 

[NeoNite]

Two more

Btw bluff eversmoking would probably look awesome covered in snow.

 

[Studio F]

for some odd reason i'm getting cold.... those pics look good to me.

 

[Hellscrag]

Interesting.

I think indoors, what's needed is probably more of a "frosty" masked texture that can be overlaid over a floor texture and a few hanging icicles. It'd make more sense than blanketing closed corridors with snow.

 

[NeoNite]

True :O)

I've used textures from the level as-coup btw.
Those from dm-snowingangels aren't bad either.

 

[3D FPS]

I agree, bluff would look great in snow! I think nyleve is fine with a green nature feel, though.
