Weather in non-weathered map

Post by kibito87 »

*Tutorial used with h2core and h2guerilla*

1. Decompile your mp map.
Image

2. Find the map that has your weather and decompile it's sbsp.
Image

3. Open your maps bsp meta in h2guerilla.
Image

4. Open the map with weather's bsp in guerilla as well.
Image

5. Find the weather pallette in the map with weather's bsp.
6. Click Copy.
Image

7. Go to your maps bsp meta and find the weather pallette.
8. Your map shouldn't have a number next to the weather pallette. So click the insert button.
Image

9. Now you should have the number 0 next to it. Moving up a bit, you should find the Visual Clusters/Meshes.
10. Open the Visual Clusters/Meshes. In each chunk there is a index to the weather palette set to -1. You want to go through each chunk changing them from -1 to 0. So make sure all the chunks have a weather index of 0. (Coagulation has 47 chunks, so all of them should be set to 0).
Image

Image
11. Save changes.
12. Rebuild map with the new bsp meta. (If you don't understand this. Just rebuild your map with the same scenario you decompiled from it.)
13. Ftp and check to see if the weather was added.
DONE!

This is a stupid question, but if you've already modified a map (new bipeds, models, skins) can you still do this? And will this work for SP Maps as well?

I've tried this 3 times now. And still no luck. :/ Don't know what is going on. I will try one more time. Mind posting some pictures or a video?

Maybe even upload a patch with like snow on Coagulation or something?

There. Updated with pix. If you can't get it to work now, we have a PEBKAC on our hands.

Also, could you please specify your problem so I may further help you? Saying it doesn't work isn't going to help me help you much. Thanks.
