RAIN and slippery wet tracks IS possible in GPL!

I've been thinking about this for a very very long time and finally got around to experiment (thanks to some help from Guru and MadCowie). What I did was to use the concept of snowing (at snowitude, Wow what a breakthrough THAT was!) and change the snow mips to mips with small gray dots being almost fully TRANSPARANT but not 100%. It works VERY nicely. My current problem is I don't know how to edit the 3do to make the rain fall faster (the snow falls slooooow) But I've made some very light rain which works fine even when falling this slow. I also have ready some REALLY heavy rain that looks GREAT but that MUST fall faster. So waiting to learn to fix falling speed there.... Now, I think you know that Mark Beckman has made three tracks with slippery wet surfaces. And they most definitely work VERY well too (try the wet N�rburgring!! It's SO cool... and hard, hehe!)! So add these two things together and we could have wet slippery tracks with rain falling! I'm pretty confident you can change the dust and dirt clouds to wet spray too.... And ANY add-on track can be converted to rain by the authors of the track! Just unzip this file: http://magnust.d2g.com/download/rain.zip into your Snowitude folder to get a very slight drizzle of rain. And pleeeeeze come back with comments on it :-) /Magnus T - - - - GPL Track Database - - - http://magnust.d2g.com - - - -

Even 4 years on - the dust looks cool in GPL - put many things to shame. ( and the engine blow ups )

[SNIP] Toooooo cool :)! Man, GPL just gets better and better. I still think everyone who signed the GPL2 petition should pony up $20-$40 to go in an escrow fund that Dave K and Grant R can claim by putting the N2002 tire model into GPL :). Kendt PS - haven't tried the wet tracks yet - call me a graphics whore, but I wanted a visual effect as well ;).

I'd still wish that would happen. With more modern physics built into GPL, I'd take it up again. Considering the trackbase GPL has, Papy might even be able to make serious money out of an upgrade. Too sad it won't happen :( Achim "Kendt Eklund" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... ...

Not sure this works but here's a try: http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~hg/forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=414856 and http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~hg/forums/attachment.php?s=&postid=414857 "Joachim Trensz" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:<apdjv8$kjvj$[email hidden]>...

Magnus...why ....why...would I want something that DECREASES the grip in GPL??? I can't hang on to what they have now...!!! :) dave henrie "Magnus T" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
