Color of Rain

[-Xeron-]

Hi!
Is there a way to paint the rain (weather effect)? Or to add some new weather effect?
Sorry for my ignorance.

Probably you can add some new weather. Probably you can paint the rain, but I just don't know how, I think you have to edit them

Hmm, this is a though one.
I guess you'll have to edit the rain model and import it in map and change it's path, although I'm not sure if I'm right or not.
Try searching google or any other search engine.

It is possible to change the color by editing its texture, "rainTail.blp".

Below is a test map with one that I painted completely red. Here is a screenie of what it would look like:

You just need to edit the texture under ReplaceableTextures\Weather\rainTail.blp

To export it, use any MPQ editor and look inside war3.mpq, then right-click the file and export it.
To convert it to TGA (so you can edit it in image editing programs), just use BLP Lab.
To edit it, you can use GIMP or Photoshop, and just change the hue/saturation.
Then you can convert it back with BLP Lab again.

Check our tools section for an MPQ editor and for BLP Lab. Use google to get GIMP. If it seems daunting, you can always make a thread in the requests section and give them this info. It is a pretty easy request.

Good luck!

Thank you for the information.
Couldn't I simple export the texture from your test map?

Yes, you can. But I painted it completely red so it doesn't quite look like the wc3 rain. The one from the MPQ is only partially filled and is semi-transparent, so that one may be a better choice to edit if you're only trying to change the color.
