Map editing

Is it possible to edit Supply's textures so supply-Recorded demos work on it?
Is it possible to add weather effects (rain, snow) on already ready maps so old demos work on it?

Thanks.

you need the map file to edit, demos are useless

I know. What I'm talking about, will ET notice the map is actually different and not let me play my demo on the edited version

it is possible to change textures but idk about weather, weather effects you should prolly add with after effects/vegas etc...

textures is not a problem at all (shaderwork only). This is mostly replacing textures though, aligning different sizes could be a tricky job.

weather effects is not possible as is. ag0n also wanted to do that once. It would theoretically be no problem to compile a changed map and run the old demo on it, but ET has some checks in it to prevent you to play a demo of fueldump on oasis e.g.

This would stop you. I think it was either madscientist or hannes who once looked into it but did not really have the motivation or time to code that barricade away.

Well aligning texture sizes isn't a problem, since I'm only looking to recolor the supply textures so I can make it look like it's night (and raining, but that's secondary)

everything that needs a new compile of the map (light, new brushwork, weather) is not possible to do with an "old demo". You can change textures (darken them) and put a night skybox in but the light will stay the same. Though I'm quite certain with the right movieconfig and afterediting it'll look even better than mapped ;)

what eim said but it would be quicker / easier to use a filter in your video editing software
