How does it work exactly?

When I click on 'weather map', I just get this screen-sized grey texture. (?)

What you need to do is open the window you use when adding planes and artillery and all that. Then from the objects list, choose Local Weather. Place it where you want it by pressing Insert. Now go to the properties, and enter a much larger radius (I used 55.000 for the screenshots), just to make something more than a single puff of clouds. "Rain" and "Dynamic" can be ticked, but they don't make any difference to me. There are also additional settings, but they are all screwed up in my FMB, don't know how they look in others'. Generally the weather system feels very buggy and experimental at the moment, but it kind of works.

Have fun and post screenshots!

Great SS's.

It is a performance hit, and I couldn't get the rain to work on the thundercloud, but it's still neat, and fun to mess about creating a weather system.

Thanks a lot, I sort of figured it in the meantime. I sometimes get a launcher crash though, once the game had loaded just past the 50% mark.
I also tried the rain option, but I got none. :)

Save your energy for other things.:)
Ilya said all the clouds are redone from scratch, so when this weather engine will be fully suported, it will come with brand new clouds.:grin:

ye, a lot of the effects don't seem to be implemented yet. Such as the effects of thunderstorms.

sigur_ros 04-11-2011 06:44 PM

Video?

I won't have my copy until the North American release. Are you refering to the " dynamic weather " feature. If so, are there plans to implement this within COD in the future ?

Beautiful screenshots there guys.
