DESCRIPTION:

This package is based upon MarZer's DWeather code for UT2004. I 
have created this modified code package for use in UT2003 with
his permission. Because of the actor class structure in UT2004,
some of the actors were not able to be converted for use in 2003.
Below are the actors that were kept intact.

DWeather 2003 actor classes:

DWChargingLight
DWEmitter
DWFadingLIght
DWLight (parent)
DWMapInfo
DWSkyZoneInfo
DWSunlight
DWTimedTrigger
DWTriggerLight
DWZoneInfo
DWMaterialTriggerReplicationInfo

=======================

BUGS: 

As with the original DWeather package for 2004, terrain will not be
lit by the DWSunlight actor. To get a good day/night transition, try
using a lower brightness Sunlight actor along with several
DWFadingLight actors. This will give you some evenly dispersed base
lighting along with shadow casting while the DWFadingLight actors,
being brighter, will give you a nice day/night effect.

=======================

CREDITS: 

Thanks to MarZer for allowing me to modify the original code...and 
to the rest of the original DWeather team.

COMMENTS:

Usage/Info for Mappers:

You can load this package into a myLevel package, or include the
files with your map distribution. The DWLight actors enable you to
fade a lights brightness and color over a specified amount of time.
This is usefull to create day and night effects. Likewise, DWSkyInfo
and DWZoneInfo enable you to dynamically adjust/fade distance fog 
over time changing color and fog distance. One of the more handy 
actors is the DWTimedTrigger which enables you to trigger events at
specified time intervals.
