Plan of Action:

Import the scenery into the map [DONE`ish] (need to place them everywhere)
Make the towering cumulus clouds, and the wall cloud for the supercell model [DONE]
Attempt to get the camera to work in-game
Fiddle around with the lightning to make it work better [DONE] (it was my graphics card which was playing up, it looks good in the new map)
Fiddle around with the tornado to make it turn the correct way
(I'll do this now)

Alex Can:
Find or create better textures for the scenery
Find or create a better skybox

Marc Can:
Get a good car model working in-game
Finish the supercell script
Reconstruct the events
Create a video camera script
Help me fix the tornado script

How does all of this sound?

it sounds pretty good! Let me get some free time, and I'm on it, lol!

So when will all of this be done o.0?

Not sure, probably most of it will get done when Marc has some free time and we can all work together.

Nice! a tornado chasing game, good luck with the the development. (wish I could help, but im still not formilier with coding)

Is there anyway i can try it out now o,0?or i have to wait like everyone else ive been looking on this site for awile to be done xD

I'm uploading the 0.06b now, I will edit this post when it finishes.
Here it is, the first proper beta will be a lot different and a lot better!

Okay I made the towering cumulus and the wall cloud. I also edited the field texture. I "only" have 4 things left to do.

I also need to sort of the scale of the game, people on the 3dgs forum suggested making different zones, I will try that.

Dam this is sick =) i cant wait for the better one to come out thanks a lot =)

Is there going to be like seasons if not heres what i would do
Spring:Rain,tornadoes,wind,Thunderstorms
Winter:Blizzards,wind,rain
Summer:Hurricanes,Tornadoes,Wind,raid,thunderstorms
Fall:Wind,rain,thunderstorms, and some hurricanes
But you would have to make the seasons go fast cause no one would like to be in the same season for long this would probably take some time to edit to i guessing but i think it would be a good idea

What we are planning to do is recreate tornadic events which happened in real life, right now we are working on the April 19th 2000 Kansas tornado. I'm trying to make the map but right now its not going as planned

I need one of these:

Okay the List is updated, the map works, it just needs to look nicer.

I have a question why do the tornadoes move so fast in the beta do they move that fast in the real game

It is random, some tornado's move really fast, some at a snails pace, just like real life

If they are moving too fast for you, just restart the game, if the problem keeps happening I might be able to release another version of the BETA, but I am working on the main project, which has an absolutely massive map, so it is probably just better to wait for that one, but if you really can't wait just tell me and I will upload the next BETA.

Haha il wait =)

Update on everything?

I am trying to get my 3DGS working so I can make a working and playa ble beta containing all the nice work Samsta did in my absence. I got a windows dll problem, let me solve this.

So is the beta coming out soon lol i cant believe i look at this site everyday and nothing really has happened

so is there any update on the game
