NOTICE TO ALL SERVER OWNERS AND PLAYERS

As you may be aware, the official Winter Chernarus mod is no longer receiving updates and support through this mod. I am still supporting development through a seperate mod which will be below. This is due to collaborators on Steam not being able to update through typical means and I am the only one actively developing the mod for compatibility and feature additions.

Please download the below mod.

Winter Chernarus V2

I would like to thank the entire Winter Chernarus team for their continuous effort through the years and I hope them all well in their future endeavours.

Video showcasing the mod by 3RNO https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2N3fuQuEfU&t

This mod is a retexture mod first and foremost. Lots of limitations with this game engine so if something is done its been done in a specific way due to time constraints that I have & it being the only way to do things. This mod is a "seamless" transition from fall to winter setting once loaded on the client, no models or map files have been touched only textures have been edited, meaning you dont need to do ANYTHING besides load with this mod for it to work, on server and client. It is not and will not be possible to have this mod loaded and play on regular chernarus, the mod is more or less a brute force way of retexturing models. I retextued something near 300-500 textures by hand to remove the leaves and do recoloring.

Server owners, I suggest you check out some of the winter equipment mods and pad out your loot table with winter camo for players to obtain, AND I strongly suggest to increase the wind and overcast values on average to take full advantage of the temperature system. Future updates will probably be random but I wont spam updates and annoy you, I work on another project basically full time so I can only do modding work on an irregular basis, nonetheless I plan to continue to support this mod and continue to do polish work going forward if I have some spare time sitting around and want to do something else other then play games. :P

Thanks to DrDeSync for the thumbnail!

NOTE: For Namalsk Survival compatibility read below

Navigate to your DayzServer -> ServerProfile -> WinterChernarus -> WinterSettings.json, open this with a text editor and make sure these two settings have a "0" at the end of them, this disables our custom scripts so they dont interfere with any other mods that influence temperature.

{ "Force winter months": 0, "Use modded body temperature": 0 }

This should resolve any bugs with compatibility, its up to you to then further integrate other aspects into your servers mission and whatnot, thanks.
