Snow should be working with the default OpaqueMaterials. Strangely it doesn't with our current AO maps, so we're either doing something wrong or the game is missing information where to put the snow.<a contenteditable="false" data-ipshover="" data-ipshover-target="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/8760-tom-sawyer/&do=hovercard" data-mentionid="8760" href="<___base_url___>/index.php?/profile/8760-tom-sawyer/">@tom Sawyer</a>has found a fix for the problem without finding the error or supplying that missing information, so it's not an actual fix but a workaround. My guess is that by removing the "ao.x * ao.x" part from OpaqueMaterials we're telling the game to fall back to a default mechanism for placing snow which might work on the models we've tested so far but might yield bad results with others down the line. I'd rather know where the problem is, learn something and do it the right way than have all modders create custom OpaqueMaterials for their mods and come back here when problems with the workaround arise.
And i stress that there's a chance I am totally wrong about this since my understanding of programming is very basic and I havent looked at the files in the toolkit in any detail...
