Hi!

Is there any possibility to add rain or snow to a room or level? I would really like to have the ability to put some falling snow into my level!

Now how are you going to have rain and snow inside a room?

Sorry, that would be a hardcoded feature. Since none of the levels in TRLR had rain or snow, that capability is not available with the TR4 editor.

a) Snow or rain inside a room? -> TRLR has outdoor scenes, do u remember? ;-)

b) OK, next thing: what about the sky? I remember the moving clouds in TRLR. How do I get these?

The only sky texture you can modify is in city.was - look in the reference section under CITY.WAS (click on General Wads in TOC,then scroll forward)....directions for changing the color of the sky are included there. As for the others, only tut1, coastal, and karnak have outdoor capabilities, but the horizon graphics can't be edited without the other tools (the 'packer').....so, if you change the color of the animated clouds on top, that part of the sky won't match the horizon graphics. It is possible in city.was because the horizon is black.

I don't think I answered your question very directly! You can get the animated clouds by using any of the WADs with outdoor capabilities: tut1, coastal, karnak, or city. You can tell if a WAD has outdoor capabilities by looking for a HORIZON slot in the WAS file. Also, you will notice a line of script is required to enable the horizon.

Nope. As Reb@Eidos said before, this is a HARDCODED feature, which means you have to edit the executable if you want to change it. Fire emitters are good examples. Fire emitter isn't fire itself but only somekind of buoy or marker or something, which tells the executable where to place the flame. The same goes for lightning conductor from street bazar level. It's just a lightning cacther, not the lightning.
