Change Region Picture to Reflect Current Season/Weather

Postby Wolfsong » Fri Dec 27, 2013 1:31 am

Simple. Currently, certain regions have certain pictures associated with them - a picture of snow-capped mountains for mountain areas, or grassy plains for grasslands. My request is that these pictures be varied to depict the current season/weather, ie, if it's the dead of winter, and you're in the middle of a harsh blizzard, could the picture of - say - grassy green plains be changed to a snow-covered field?

That would be helpful for those that are inside and don't see the weather change. or something somewhere that states the weather...

While we're at it, can we add a "weather" feature to the Location tab for people who are in the first level of a building (meaning the "exit" is to outside) with an open window and vehicles and ships?

You can already see the weather on ships ;) It's just in a different place.

Yeah I was thinking this about the pictures, that would be nice :-).

Also agree with vehicles and first level buildings!

I Vote yes. (That's a hint to add a poll.)

Weather can be observed from the vehicles as well. Under the location tab, as others.

I'd volunteer to Photoshop the pictures so the locations don't suddenly change shape every time it rains.

Added poll.

I like it.
