Question Regarding Seasons (Winter Tiles)

[Archaaz]

I was wondering how the seasons work, if they are part of the actual map files, or function in some other manner. I am running a modified 0.95 Distro with a .098 Core, and using only the original Britannia map. The seasons all look great, except for winter, which is somewhat spotty. It seems to use only square snow tiles, and there are many areas not covered. In certain stretches it appears fine and seamless, but in others it forms jagged areas, esp near roads. Looking at the tile sets with UOFiddler, I notice that there are quite a few snow tiles, including those with more softened edges, and tiles designed for roads. I have likewise seen some winter screenshots of the official servers which appear seamless. Is there a better winter map I can use, or a file I can download?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

As far as I know, seasons are handled by the client itself using the season packet 0xBC http://docs.polserver.com/packets/index.php?Packet=0xBC

Ah, thanks. So there is no way to edit it, or perhaps to download a better version for the main map?
