Question: Weather effects?

[Trackmaniack]

I'm sure this probably will (or won't) concern all three games, but as TM2 is the one that's currently nearest completion, I figured it'd work to start here. Any rumblings of weather effects within TM2, rather than simply being added as community mods? I'm talkin' fog, rain, snow, the big three, LOL, but cosmetic of course.

Maybe you'll be able to create that effect with ManiaScript

Wet roads would be very interesting, maybe there will be even wind, which blows u out of a loop if u don't take care

I doubt that if weather effects will exist, they will have any physical effect on the vehicle. Would be a nice cosmetic addition tho.

A dynamic day and nighty cycle would be awesome for the 24h-race :O

Like they had in the first TM2 video. But it was stated that this is using to much processing power and therefore this isn't implemented,to let people with slower PCs have a chance to run it:)

Don't know how to express it well but, is moodchanging while driving also possible, for example at the start day and in the finish it's night?

That first trailer in 2009 has proved that already, so it is possible with ManiaScript

nope, when the trailer was presented, I stated that it was the only tricked we used in the video. The moods can't be changed on the fly.

to bad then we have to do it the normal way again, or we useh long .bik files ( if supported) and change at least the sky colour xD

Oh ease up. It's not the end of the world. Besides, I bet it'll still be able to be changed with a mediascript...

Maybe there will be as detailed weather settings as in the Far cry 2 mapeditor :O
