day to night could be nice.
it maybe hardcoded but is it possible to do this way:
first we play round and second round will be same map but night,flags remains how the previous round ended?

hope someone understand.

the best way to get rain to work in BF2 (and ive done it and it work's) is to make a particle emiiter that has a radius of about 30, emit speed of 400 or higher, have its rotation affected by speed and set the gravity to -200, this makes good hard fallin rain, now all ya have to do is make that effect as a child of the soldiers common camera and it will only emmit in 1p and only above the player meaning the rain follows you, this means you can see the rain no matter what vehicle your in and it wont chew up your effects amount causing bf2 to not emmit all emiiters.
From the editor forums.

However, I can see a few disadvantages with this...

ye there would be loads... sitting in the back of the APC and having rain coming in, waling though a tunnel/cave and have it raining like it was out side, loads of probs and the more players you have on the server, the more particals you will have falling down and the then when you reach the partial limit you will find that each player will have like only 2 drops of rain each falling down...

Well i absolutely LOVED the thunder and lightning in OGT, we can have more of that. THUNDERSTORMS on a nice sunny cludless sky, it wouldnt bother me at all.
