Hey man!
I just copied and past your coding changing the atmosphere with the one I want Moscow outskirt.
It gives me fatal error.
My only difference is on the path since my atmosphere is not inside DLC folder but on the upper one.
Do you have any idea why?
Thanks mate

Ok, I got the Blizzard to work as well. So here is what I did.

I opened the rostov scarfile and compared it to jannes code. The only difference was that there are some more settings in there that specified the blizzard. Starting time, duration finishing time and so on. So it dawned to me that the blizzard wont come if it doesn't know when and for how long. So I just coppied the settings and played a little around with them. This is my scarcode of my <yourmapname.scar>.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

import("ScarUtil.scar")
import("Systems/BlizzardMulitplayer.scar")

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- [[ ONINIT ]]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

function OnInit()

local blizzarddata =
{
blizzard_interval_first = 900,
blizzard_interval_min = 900,
blizzard_interval_max = 1000,
blizzard_exit_min = 120,
blizzard_exit_max = 200,
}

MP_BlizzardInit("data:art/scenarios/presets/atmosphere/DLC/mp_rostov_blizzard.aps" ,"data:art/scenarios/presets/atmosphere/DLC/mp_rostov.aps", nil, blizzarddata, true)

end

Scar_AddInit(OnInit)

Hi Huldufolk,

I hope this is still of use to you. I changed my settings on a blizzard map to fit your describtion. This is it and it works perfectly.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

import("ScarUtil.scar")
import("Systems/BlizzardMulitplayer.scar")

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- [[ ONINIT ]]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

function OnInit()

local blizzarddata =
{
blizzard_interval_first = 900,
blizzard_interval_min = 900,
blizzard_interval_max = 1000,
blizzard_exit_min = 120,
blizzard_exit_max = 200,
}
MP_BlizzardInit("data:art/scenarios/presets/atmosphere/1941_moscow_blizzard.aps" ,"data:art/scenarios/presets/atmosphere/moscow_outskirts.aps", nil, blizzarddata, true)

end
Scar_AddInit(OnInit)

Hello,
I have a problem with creating a blizzard. I took over the script from Mocco, but it does not work for me. Since I also have no idea about scripts, I would be happy if someone could help me to solve the problem.
Thanks in advance.
