Anybody know an easy way to get snowy weather in Spirit? env_rain is out of the question, and I don't want to have to resort to env_shooters in the sky spitting out sprites.

Why not env_rain?

Its a buggy entity that has a tendancy to overload the engine.

Unless you're more comfortable with spamming your map with func_conveyors, I don't know any other ways around it.

the env_rain is a crap entity that doesn't even look right. On ip_op_iceflow (Flat-Life map) i used a func conveyor. Those are pretty much your only choices

In the more recent versions of spirit of half-life, there is a different rain entity, rain_settings and rain_modify. These are much less buggy and you can specify wind and such to make the effect look more realistic.

But I don't see a problem with using the env_rain entity, there is no other way of doing it, spamming your map with func_conveyors can cause the too many entities in visible packet list error.

What's wrong with env_rain in spririt of Half-life? Works flawless in original Goldsrc...
