ATC AlaskaGuy Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 I watched the video that atcJoe had on his youtube channel where it was snowing at JFK and was just wondering if anyone knows how he was able to make Tower!3D Pro do this.

ATC AlaskaGuy Posted December 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 I know it looks cool seeing that it has to be a tweek that he did to some file or something like that but that is just a guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATC AlaskaGuy Posted December 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 what would be even more cool though to is that if in Tower!3D Pro that you could have the deicing trucks deice planes and have snow removal equipment to that would remove snow from the runways maybe that can be put in The XX version of tower.

You could put this idea into the Towerxx wishlist forum and see if they are willing to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATC AlaskaGuy Posted December 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 I really hope that someone knows how to make it look like it is snowing at KJFK in tower 3!D Pro like in the video that atcJoe shot to publish on his youtube channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EliGrim Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 4 minutes ago, Pedantic G said: Go on his video comments and ask him then! 😉 You sure he will tell? 😉 Because of the loop it can be a video or image sequence with alpha. I doubt that the snow is an effect that comes from the game engine. I would solve it with an overlay during or after the recording. With the foggy mode and an appropriate opacity setting it can appear as if the snow is behind the windows (ADIRS, etc.). Of course I can't say how Joe did that exactly. Maybe he actually programmed it into the game somehow, who knows. I don't think it really matters that much. In the end it's a fantastic idea and looks great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am with you as it looks like a pre/post production technique I have seen before called Particle Snow effect or something similar possibly. Good idea though and another reason for "seasons" ability etc if/when the new version comes out 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartccost Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 4 hours ago, EliGrim said: Maybe he actually programmed it into the game somehow Nope, definitely not via the game engine. The recorded loop indicates it was done using an overlay or some other software. Cool visual effect if you're into that, but if he can get the snow to stick to the ground I'll really be impressed. 😀 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATC AlaskaGuy Posted January 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 well would be cool though if the snow weather effect was added to tower 3D pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 I'm not saying there is snow in the game, but this sure looks like it. I went for a screenshoot with a snowflake behind the strip, so that you know it hasn't been overlaid on top. p.s. Just looked at ATControl Joe's video, yep definately a video overlay, the snow in the game engine doesn't move with the camera ie. if you pan the camera to the left in the game, the snow will move from left to right across the screen while you are panning.

crbascott Posted February 25, 2020 Report Share Posted February 25, 2020 @WildCard, I was never able to get the game to recognize more than two voices. Is this available out of the box or is this one of your tweaks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 @crbascott Would you believe i'm l33t haxor and all your base are belong to us? ☠️😝 Yes, it's a tweak. I re-wrote the speech part of towerspeakbridge and parts of the command parser because I wanted access to all of my installed voices. I have a few, including one's that microsoft have now 'retired', thus the Disney voices 😉 I also did some optimisation and fixed a few bugs while I was there.
