Add snowy weather to maps

[HighTac]

Hi everyone,

I'm currently planning a Santa FFA Cup and thought it might be cool to have some snow on maps that are currently without. I understand it would be too much work for just a one day cup to replace normal trees with snowy trees or the overall tileset.

I was curious how much work it would be to just add some snowy weather to existing maps?

Cheers,
HighTac

Replacing tiles is not that difficult.
For example, import the snowy tiles and set the path to the green ones. It will overwrite it.
Same for trees really.

If you mean weather effect, then you could create a region with the region editor over the map, and at its settings you could bind a snow weather to the region. (explaine here for example, in "A) Pre-placed Regions")

replacing the tiles is easy, if you used a default tileset just go to advanced -> modify tileset (maybe graficsset, my WE is not in english, it's the first option) and just select a different one (e.g. Northrend).
It will replace all your existing tiles with the respective "snowy" tile. takes 1 minute.
As for weather, you can either use regions (as already mentioned), or you can set a global weather effect in Scenario -> Map-options, also a 1 min job.

for trees i'm not sure, i just tried overwrting the object data, however that ended up kind of buggy.
