Project Snow

[Matthew K.]

There is, and I do believe at one point I actually did it for the heck of it. But it's not exactly easy to accomplish iirc. Involves editing snowstorm.js mainly.

[hcfwesker]

yeah, i would fail in that department.  Any way to make the snow multicolored, like 3 different colors?  i really hope so.

but, i been watching the progress of this since december, and it's come a long way, and you did an amazing job, especially with all the customizable features in the admin page.

[Matthew K.]

I do believe we got it out before Christmas, didn't we?

Scotty and I put a fair amount of time into making sure everything was customizable and changing some things. Thanks for the kind words.

Multicoloured snow - Not possible.

I am grateful to Labradoodle-360 for his hard work on this mod, however if memory serves correctly, there was a huge issue with this mod which forced me to uninstall it. The problem was a missing setting (not visible to the common membergroup, other than admin) where a member could choose to disable the snow if he/she wanted to from profile settings. So, has that been fixed?

[Matthew K.]

Was this for the 1.1x branch of SMF or 2.0x branch?

Was this for the 1.1x branch of SMF or 2.0x branch?

I tested it on 1.1.x branch and it didn't work. Please don't tell me you don't support the 1.1.x line anymore.

[Matthew K.]

The bug in the 1.1x branch of Project Snow will not be resolved, I apologize.

Thank you for the wonderful mod!  I thought I'd let everybody know that when I updated my forum from 2.0 RC5 to 2.0 Gold, I had to reinstall all my mods.  This mod installed without issues using 2.0 RC4 emulation.  Hope this info helps someone!

Can you tell me for mod "Project snow"  is that working on a version forum SMF 2.0.1 ?

[TheListener]

Try what the previous poster did.

This mod is going to be highly requested at this time of the year, till end of December. I really hope someone talented is willing to take over and fix/improve this project, as it's obviously been abandoned.

[Zvezdan]

I hope so!

[Matthew K.]

Wow, way to jump to conclusions huh. Where the HECK did you pull that crap out of?

I actually wanted to reply to that statement , as well.   I think he was just upset that you're not updating 1.1.x branch or something. according to this post.  http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=358989.msg3034260#msg3034260

I'm looking forward to using this MOd again for the holidays   I just can't find my old winter theme we had, after upgrading to 2.0 final, i forgot to keep it lol, so gotta go make another one.

[Matthew K.]

Probably, although now that SMF 2.0.[0-1] is out, there's no real point in updating the old versions.

Especially since Project Snow 2.0, will hopefully be a complete re-write.

[Matthew K.]

Well, it's about time again, for Project Snow to be updated.

This will most likely be a full re-write (jumping from 1.x. to 2.0), and so I would like to add some cool new features, besides a complete re-code and a nice admin interface.

Are there any ideas of what could be added that would be helpful or cool to have? I'd like to get writing this tomorrow, so the sooner you post, the better chance it'll make it in our next version.

[hcfwesker]

The features you had before were great.  Especially allowing members permission to turn on/off.  My request is that snow is theme selectable.  Some themes I don't want snow to appear on.

[Matthew K.]

Ah, that's a good idea; something I completely forgot about, although I'm glad you brought it up.

[Matthew K.]

I started developing Project Snow 2.0 last night.

Here are my plans to this point:

• Rewritten Administration Panel
  • Use of jQuery
  • Inline Helptext / Field Descriptions
  • New Fields (ie. Member Customization | Theme Based Snow)
• New Member Customization Options (ie. the ability to change the colour of their snow, and theirs alone. With server performance security throttles in place [members cannot overload the server with too much snow])
• Rewritten & Optimized Output
• SMF 2.0.99 Support

[hcfwesker]

Only thing that concerns me is the member customization options.  But if you say you're coding in limitations to that then it should be ok.  some of those options I'll probably edit out; but I do like them being able to change the color, pretty pro.
