Weather

[Malinko]

Hi.

Surprise! Kingdoms is about to receive a NEW WEATHER SYSTEM!

Well, soon, because I have finished it!

Though, before I release details about it with screenshots, I would like to know what others think should be added. Of course, there is rain...O_o. Though, what else would like to be seen in it? Oh, one thing, rain isn't the ONLY thing in it, there's like a lot, but I don't want to release details or screenshots till I feel like all the things are covered. If someone posts within this thread about what should be in it, I will tell whether or not it is included.

Edit: Oh, and if some moderator feels like this is in the wrong section of the Kingdoms forums, then I apologize.

Perhaps some gusty wind sfx for good ambience, we lack that in some aspects. I hope all of this comes with good sound effects. Heavy rain, tornadoes, thunderstorms(with flashes), day/night would be very great for more atmospheric effects. Way better than new pets, new food, and all the needless addons. Glad someone focused on something we needed, and followed through for once. Thank you for still caring about the GK players

- Rain
- Snow
- Tornadoes
- Thunder and Lightning
- Heat waves (If you need help making gfx for that, I may be able to help.)

I think this is in the right section. I'm going to assume these affects are clientside?

Anyway to have periodic tornado's and hurricanes =D

I think weather is a great idea, the only downfall to it is that it might lag the game a little bit more where the weather is taken place. Other than that I like it. (Liked the tornado when I saw it a while ago too)

[Draenin]

If the effects are clientside they won't, unless it's a bit too much for your video card to handle.

[lordbosh]

the fact that anything on this game makes a brand new pc lag is the result of bad coding. we know who to blame for that.

Graal's an MMO. You're going to lag anyway because not all processes go on on your screen alone.

I think he's referring to light effects and the such causing clientside lag. And he is entirely right.

[Draenin]

I'm wondering which card Bosh is using, then. I rarely ever experience lag from lighting.

[Jaquet]

Im using an out of date 2001 gfx card ive been the king of lag ever since lighting effects were enabled all the time

I'm on a PCI Radeon 7500LE.

I get a wooping 1fps maybe less on Doom 3 and have a hard time running Need for Speed Underground. I experience little "lag" with light effects.

I'm running 2.2 GHz Athlon64 3400+ Processor, nVidia GeForce 6150 LE (256 MB), 512 MB RAM, and I sometimes experience 'lag' when there are a lot of lights in the level It's probaby the RAM, though.

3ghz pentium D processor, nVidia Geforce 7800 GTX video card, 1gb ram. And i get lag with lights on, bad coding? much.

What kind of ram do you have? The size is not everything.
Same with the processor.
