PC V2.0 Storms Brewing Dev Diary

@faatal

I meant these three

p_snowstorm1.prefab
p_sandstorm.prefab
p_smokestorm.prefab

Because if the ones you showed are the same, it looks like you reworked their emitters.

So I didn't know if it were 2 separate systems or they had been merged.

So if those are the damaging particles, is it possible to make them collide with the screen?

like mini bursts.

I am glad you guys are taking a more hard core approach to the end game and environments. So no matter what kind of preventatives we have, some kind of storm can still do dmg to us? @faatal

Yes. All storms outside of the forest biome cause damage and the damage increases over time.

None of that is used for weather storms. There are 4 brand new prefabs added into the SkySystem prefab each divided by storm and storm building effects. Lots of particle systems.

Also, particles don't damage you. Being outside damages you.

@faatal  Man, I hope you guys didn't forget Lightning as well!

The embers are world space. That effect has 9 particle systems in it and only 1 (sparks) is local space.

Huh, I guess it's attached to the player then, though? Just seems odd seeing all the embers move forward as the player does. It looks great overall though, that's just one of those pet peeves I have with games. Haha.

 
@faatal It seems that the game is more optimized, can you tell us if we will really have improvements in the game's performance on PC even with the new features added?

 
Hi @faatal! Is this the final view of the storm in the burnt forest? The video of the storm in the desert looked a little better in terms of range of visibility - it seems that the range there was limited to about 20 blocks, and in the burnt forest, it seems to me, the range of visibility is quite large. Or is it an element of progression, and the further the player goes, the less he will see during the storm?

I think Natural embers flying around slowly would be a cool effect too in the burnt forest but when the storm comes then they get crazy 

Also @faatalis the lighting storm sounds intended to sound like its doubled or is it a bug?

The sound was doubled in the last video too. It's not just the thunder, it's all of it.

EDIT: You can also hear the clicks of whoever's playing the game. So a microphone is open and they're playing with speakers on and that's why we're hearing a delayed double of the game audio. Or it's than and there's a duplicate and delayed recording of the game audio on a different track.

Ive never been in an actual fire storm thank goodness but this made me curious and I watched some footage and the embers do swirl around like fireflies on crack in a lot of the videos. I don’t think the game is that far off from reality. The biggest difference I could see was number of ember particles in the air. 
 

Im guessing that fire storms have a lot more chaotic wind patterns than other storm types. The only thing that would bother me is if the sand particles, snow particles, and…er…radiation particles all behave exactly the same as the ember particles. But not super bothered because…it’s a game.

Звук в видео может быть странным или в файлах Thunder Wav, но он не будет воспроизводиться дважды. Это те же звуки грома, что и 1.0.

EndOfStreamException: Attempted to read past the end of the stream good afternoon! For the last 3 months, such an error has often occurred on the server! It cratches main files, although the computer did not turn off! I talked to a lot of people, almost everyone had this (tell me, is it possible to solve it somehow?

Have you seen a bug report about this or made one yourself? If not, make one. 

This error could possibly occur for various reasons and without clues from the logfile of such a crash you could as well have said "Thing not work. Do something" for the same effect 😉

50% maybe. The slow falling ashes and embers would be cool to see. 

It's a shame the forest won't have crazy weather

 It won't? Not even a nasty thunderstorm that just has lots of lightning and thunder maybe with some hail? A starter storm, so to speak.

With regard to folks discussing the embers, here's a YouTube video about them. You can compare:

@SylenThunder faatal had mentioned "The embers are world space. That effect has 9 particle systems in it and only 1 (sparks) is local space"..... when you test can you check to see what would happen with the (local sparks) when 5 pve players are standing together on a bloodmoon base doing hoard night together, curious how those individual local sparks would effect the other players in the space, thanks.

As mentioned, you should create a bug report so they can look into it.  At the very least, you should post this in the General Support forum along with a log file from the server if you want someone to be able to help you.  The best I can say without any actual information about it is that you have a mod that is broken.

I mean we are getting thunder storms but from faatal said.  Nothing damaging I think it should be like hail. Or heavy rain with wind

Also I hope we get harsh weather on horde night too like rain or even emberstorms. 

And I hope we get other weather's for other biomes like dust storms in the forest. Ember storms in the wasteland, the wasteland tbh should have all the crazy weather aside from cold
