[REQ] 22 Degree Halo

Post » Sat Oct 27, 2012 3:54 pm

I stepped outside just a few moments ago to get something out of my car when I looked up to the sky (I look at the sky quite often because I find it to be beautiful) when I noticed one of my favorite optical phenomenon, a halo around the moon. It was then that I though "If modders can add shooting stars and rainbows then why not the halo?".

A http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/22%C2%B0_halo is a optical phenomenon that can be seen around both the sun and moon as often as 100 times a year. The effect happens when light from the sun or moon passes through ice crystals int he upper atmosphere and forms a prism, similar to a rainbow but at different angles.

I'm not sure if this is possible and I think it may be difficult with 2 moons but if it can be pulled off it would be amazing.

I nodded, but I don't think you saw me.

Unfortunately my scripting skills are almost nonexistent. But I would love to see this. I'm pretty sure Isoku made both the shooting stars and rainbow mods. Maybe you could contact him about it.

Seems like a cool effect. I wonder too about the two -moon issue though. Would the effects encroach on eachother or would the larger one simply block the other?

well i think it would be based on the angle. one or the other may get the effect and in rare cases both at the same time.
