These are zips with the snow textures, a frozen water texture, and the DetailAtlas.png and .dds

There is one snow texture that is mostly bright white and 256x256. I resized it to paste on the detailatlas. Feel free to experiment with the different textures.

Snow battles will best be done with fresh made maps, rather than reusing the existing maps. There are enough dead/brown/tan grasses to take care of map making already in the game. Maybe we need a dead corn stalk. There may be enough marsh trees to take care of deciduous choices. Maybe a few bare bushes are needed. Of course snow covered pines and other map items.

Thanks -- I'll see what I can put together.

Is there gonna be any special snow/mud rules added in the new release due Q1?

Pondering if the decal system could be used to whitewash tanks and AFVs? There is a folder for user made decals in the My Documents folder.

It's uncertain whether there will be new rules for snow and mud. The emphasis will be on implementing those features from SOS.

The decal system probably would not work to add snow to units because the decals only cover very particular rectangular regions on the vehicles. I would probably try to write an entirely new snow shader for this.
