Very cool, Baker! After deleting/moving the previous pk3 for this, it works!

Makes me want to stick out my tongue and catch a snowflake heh.

CSQC Rain Snow 2 has the new snow in the download.

I think after making the "new snow", no one would want the "old snow" that immediately disappeared.

Thank you, Baker. I was trying to get around to actually using your edit before I responded, but a lot to do hehe.

Looks like I've already played the 2020 Jam, unfortunately.

Say, the rain effect seems to "accumulate" for me on start map, but snow does not. Am I missing something?

No, I messed with the snow particle effect on Christmas.

You need to open effectinfo.txt and replace snow33 with:

effect snow33 // Baker - modified to make the snow accumulate ...

XMas 2020 Jam is a good one ...

The Shadesmaster map is the one I used in the pic with the Christmas lights.

(DarkPlaces doesn't support the alpha masked trees on that level ... it was maybe the first bug report I fixed in Zircon it came from jakub1 if I recall).

Merry Christmas, gulliver!

EDIT: You actually might not need to update your Zircon engine? Just put this pk3 in your id1 directory and follow the TXT file instructions:

After viewing, youtube will suggest other xmas FPS stuff (probably).

Merry Christmas, Quakers.
