RESURRECT DYNAMIC WEATHER

11 new weathers, all in the Game Master list: RES Light Rain, Heavy Rain, Rainstorm, Light / Moderate / Heavy / Dense Fog, Light Snow, Snow, Heavy Snow and Blizzard. Missions with a random start can roll any of them.

RAIN, FOG, STORMS
- Denser rain, more haze and splashes; the ground soaks and puddles.
- Fog is thick at ground level and thinner higher up. View distance follows it (saves FPS) and AI see less in fog and snow.
- Lightning in storms and blizzards, thunder delayed by distance. Flash only, no damage.

SNOW
- Builds up to waist height out to the horizon, thaws slowly (faster in rain).
- Lies on roofs, bridges, rocks and trees, never indoors; some blows in through open doors.
- Soldiers, vehicles and guns push it aside where they touch it: footprints, leg channels, trenches, tyre ruts, a channel where you lie. Wind and new snow fill them back in.
- You never see through it, even lying, buried or knocked out.
- Slides off steep slopes, cliffs and roofs. Explosions throw it up and leave craters.
- Settles on soldiers standing still and on vehicle roofs.
- Vehicles grip less and slide. Snow cover soaks up bullets and blasts.
- Cold breath and frost in freezing air.

AVALANCHES
Loaded slopes can release from explosions, heavy fire or heavy vehicles, rarely on their own. If you are buried, fire or jump to dig out before your air runs out.

ICE
Lakes and rivers freeze in the cold. Ice holds you, cracks and breaks under blasts, and holes freeze over again.

SNOW FORTS
Hold the building shovel in deep snow: left click digs, R packs a block. Walls stop bullets; gunfire wears them down, vehicles smash through, explosions blow them to powder.

NIGHT SKY
Brighter, sharper stars on clear nights.

MULTIPLAYER
Snow, forts, avalanches, ice and lightning are the same for every player, late joiners too.

PERFORMANCE
In our tests a blizzard runs faster than vanilla rain; the scripts cost about 0.3 ms a frame.

Base game only. Work in progress: snow is still being tuned.
