Mod Details

Due to the original Winter Chernarus no longer receiving updates, and me being the only member left willing to continue, I decided to create a living successor to Winter Chernarus, just simply called; Winter Chernarus V2

This mod aims to overhaul the entirety of Chernarus and bask it with snow. All the old elements of Winter Chernarus are still here, but will be changed over time as the mod continues to grow.

Many assets and textures are done via prefixes which overrides the base files. This can be done and will be done to update more structures, items, objects, etc.

Thanks to DrDeSync for the thumbnail!

Thanks to Helkiana for the scripting rework!

Thanks to Asmondian for the great infected texture rework!

Big thanks to the original team of Winter Chernarus for all the time they have spent making the original Winter Chernarus. Without their contributions to the community, this project would never have been possible.

Dependencies

It is NOT required to run the original Winter Chernarus with this mod, and is completely standalone.

Winter mods for workshop maps that used the original Winter Chernarus as a dependency should switch to this one. If you were using chernarus_winter_scripts as a required addon, switch to WinterChernarusV2Scripts.

F.A.Q

-Can you add X,Y,Z Feature? If it's do with scripting, probably not. I'm not a scripter and typically I'm a one man band with this. I can source help but it'll not be something I can focus on.

-Why did you change the wind sounds? They were changed due to constant copyright claims from a company that has claimed a soundbyte as their own. Streamers, content creators and such were getting flagged and that's not ideal. I bought new sounds, customised them and simply replaced the tracks in config, and the volumes were reduced due to feedback.

-The snow is blinding! Turn down the brightness! Unfortunately, that is not possible as snow is, well, bright. To mitigate the issue, configure your server date to sometime in winter. Refer to the init.c down below. If you'd like an inkling of blue sky, then February 20th is a good date too.
