In this embodiment, a method for switching a weather type in a game running on the mobile terminal is provided, and fig. 2 is a flowchart of a method for switching a weather type in a game according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the method includes the following steps:

step S21, acquiring a physical parameter set, wherein the physical parameter set is used for determining the weather type to be presented in the game scene;

the set of physical parameters may be a plurality of preset physical parameters, and may include: cloud shielding strength, ambient temperature, rain and snow weather strength, wind strength and the like. The set of physical parameters may be used to determine the type of weather to be presented in the game scene.

For example, the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be adopted in the process of switching the weather from sunny to rainy in the game. Firstly, a physical parameter set Weather corresponding to the game Weather type is created, and the physical parameter set Weather includes 4 basic physical parameters, which are: cloud cover intensity Coverage, ambient Temperature, precipitation intensity weather intensity and wind intensity WindIntensity. Each of the base set of physical parameters is then initialized according to the various weather types that may be present in the game.

Specifically, in the process of switching the weather from a sunny day to a rainy day in the game, a physical parameter set weirer _ sunny corresponding to the sunny day is created, and the method includes: cloud shielding strength Coverage _ s-c 1, ambient Temperature _ s-t 1, precipitation strength weather intensity _ s-we 1 and wind strength windlntensity _ s-wi 1; creating a physical parameter set Wearrer _ rain corresponding to rainy days, comprising: cloud shielding strength Coverage _ r ═ c2, ambient Temperature _ r ═ t2, precipitation strength _ r ═ we2, and wind strength windlntensity _ r ═ wi 2;

step S22, determining candidate texture data based on the physical parameter set;

the candidate texture data may be texture data corresponding to the type of weather to be presented. The above-mentioned set of physical parameters is obtained, on the basis of which the candidate texture data can be determined.

For example, the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be adopted in the process of switching the weather from sunny to rainy in the game. The weather effect of the sunny day currently presented in the game scene is generated based on the physical parameter set weirer _ sunny corresponding to the sunny day. When weather needs to be switched from sunny to rainy, the rainy texture data UV _ rain (equivalent to the candidate texture data) corresponding to the game scene may be determined according to the physical parameter set weirer _ rain corresponding to the rainy day.

Step S23, acquiring target texture data corresponding to the current position from the candidate texture data by using the current position of the virtual character in the game scene and a preset corresponding relation, wherein the preset corresponding relation is used for describing the corresponding relation between the texture space where the candidate texture data is located and the world space where the position data in the game scene is located;

the preset correspondence relationship may be used to describe a correspondence relationship between a texture space and a world space, where the texture space is a space where the candidate texture data is located, and the world space is a space where the position data in the game scene is located. The current position of the virtual character in the game scene may be position data in the game scene corresponding to the virtual character at the current time.

Based on the current position of the virtual character in the game scene and the preset corresponding relation, target texture data corresponding to the current position can be obtained from the candidate texture data. The candidate texture data is texture data determined based on the preset physical parameter set, the target texture data is texture data used for presenting a target weather type, and the target weather type can be a switched weather type.

For example, the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be adopted in the process of switching the weather from sunny to rainy in the game. In order to improve the game experience of the player, the corresponding weather texture needs to be generated according to the position of the virtual character in the game scene. Based on the Position coordinate Position of the virtual character in the world coordinate system in the game scene, according to the corresponding relationship between the rainy texture data UV _ rain (equivalent to the candidate texture data) and the world space, the rainy texture data UV _ rain and part of the rainy texture data UV _ rain (equivalent to the target texture data) can be selected from the rainy texture data UV _ rain and recorded as UV _ rain _ p.

In step S24, the current weather type presented in the game scene is switched to the target weather type according to the target texture data.

The current weather type is a weather type before switching corresponding to the current position of the virtual character, and the target weather type is a weather type after switching corresponding to the current position of the virtual character. Since the above-described target texture data is texture data for presenting a target weather type, a current weather type presented in a game scene may be switched to the target weather type according to the target texture data.

For example, the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be adopted in the process of switching the weather from sunny to rainy in the game. The sunny weather effect currently presented in the game scene corresponds to texture data generated based on the physical parameter set weirer _ sunny. According to the partial rainy texture data UV _ rain _ p (equivalent to the target texture data) obtained by the above operation, the sunny weather effect presented in the game scene can be switched to the rainy weather effect (equivalent to the target weather type).

Optionally, the physical parameter set comprises: the determining of the candidate texture data based on the physical parameter set in step S22 may include performing the following steps:

step S221, a first texture and a second texture are created, wherein the first texture and the second texture are locally pre-drawn textures, a color channel of the first texture is used for recording a first part of physical parameters, and a color channel of the second texture is used for recording a second part of physical parameters;

step S222, creating a third texture and a fourth texture, wherein the third texture and the fourth texture are textures drawn in a preset game engine;

step S223 writes the first part of physical parameters recorded in the color channel of the first texture into the corresponding color channel in the third texture, and writes the second part of physical parameters recorded in the color channel of the second texture into the corresponding color channel in the fourth texture, so as to determine candidate texture data.

The physical parameter set may be a plurality of preset physical parameters, and the physical parameter set may include: a first portion of physical parameters and a second portion of physical parameters. The first portion of physical parameters may include a plurality of physical parameters and the second portion of physical parameters may include a plurality of physical parameters.

The first texture may be a locally pre-rendered texture, and the first texture may include a color channel, and the color channel of the first texture may be used to record the first part of the physical parameter. The second texture may be a locally pre-rendered texture, and the second texture may include a color channel, and the color channel of the second texture may be used to record the second part of the physical parameter. The third texture and the fourth texture may be textures drawn in a predetermined game engine, the third texture and the fourth texture may respectively include color channels, and the color channels of the third texture and the fourth texture are both empty when created.

Creating the first texture, the second texture, the third texture, and the fourth texture. And writing a first part of physical parameters recorded by the color channel of the first texture into a corresponding color channel in the third texture, and writing a second part of physical parameters recorded by the color channel of the second texture into a corresponding color channel in the fourth texture, so as to obtain the third texture and the fourth texture after the parameters are written. And determining the candidate texture data according to the third texture and the fourth texture after the writing parameters.

Optionally, in step S223, writing a first part of physical parameters recorded by the color channel of the first texture into a corresponding color channel in the third texture, and writing a second part of physical parameters recorded by the color channel of the second texture into a corresponding color channel in the fourth texture, and determining candidate texture data may include the following steps:

step S2231, creating a first material example and a second material example based on the same base material, wherein the mapping parameter of the first material example is used for recording texture data of a first texture, and the mapping parameter of the second material example is used for recording texture data of a second texture;

in step S2232, the texture data recorded in the mapping parameter of the first material instance is written into the corresponding color channel in the third texture, and the texture data recorded in the mapping parameter of the second material instance is written into the corresponding color channel in the fourth texture.

The parent material may be material data for indicating a weather type visual effect, and the same parent material may be used for indicating the same weather type. The first material example and the second material example can be created based on the same base material, and each of the first material example and the second material example can include a mapping parameter, wherein the mapping parameter of the first material example can be used for recording texture data of the first texture; the mapping parameters of the second texture instance may be used to record texture data of the second texture.

And obtaining the mapping parameters of the first material example and the mapping parameters of the second material example. Writing texture data recorded by the mapping parameter of the first material example into a corresponding color channel in the third texture; and writing the texture data recorded by the mapping parameter of the second material example into the corresponding color channel in the fourth texture. The third texture and the fourth texture may be textures drawn in a predetermined game engine, the third texture and the fourth texture may respectively include color channels, and the color channels of the third texture and the fourth texture are both empty when created.

For example, the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be adopted in the process of switching the weather from sunny to rainy in the game. Two texture data files, RenderTarget _ a (corresponding to the first texture) and RenderTarget _ B (corresponding to the second texture) are pre-rendered locally, two texture data files, RenderTarget _ C (corresponding to the third texture) and RenderTarget _ D (corresponding to the fourth texture) are created in the game engine, and each of the four texture data files includes a color channel (including a red channel, a green channel, and a blue channel) corresponding to the texture data file. The four basic physical parameters included in the physical parameter set Weather are divided into two parts, the first part including: cloud shielding strength Coverage; the second part includes: precipitation intensity weather intensity, wind intensity windlntensity and ambient Temperature.

And in the process of switching the weather type to the rainy day, the pre-drawn texture data file is used for recording the physical parameter set corresponding to the rainy day. The corresponding relationship between the texture data file and the physical parameter set is as follows: in a color channel of a locally pre-drawn texture data file RenderTarget _ a (equivalent to the first texture), a red channel is used for recording cloud shielding intensity Coverage _ r; in the color channel of the local pre-rendered texture data file RenderTarget _ B (corresponding to the second texture described above), the red channel is used to record the precipitation intensity weather intensity _ r, the green channel is used to record the wind intensity windIntense _ r, and the blue channel is used to record the ambient Temperature _ r.

And correspondingly writing the rain physical parameters recorded in the color channels corresponding to the local pre-drawn texture data files RenderTarget _ A and RenderTarget _ B into texture data files RenderTarget _ C (equivalent to the third texture) and RenderTarget _ D (equivalent to the fourth texture) drawn in two preset game engines. The rainy texture data UV _ rain (equivalent to the candidate texture data) corresponding to the game scene can be obtained from the texture data files RenderTarget _ C and RenderTarget _ D drawn in the two preset game engines.

Specifically, the writing process of the texture data files RenderTarget _ C and RenderTarget _ D drawn in the preset game engine may include the following method steps:

in the first step, two material examples, namely Brush _ A (corresponding to the first material example) and Brush _ B (corresponding to the second material example), are created for the same parent material Brush. The texture examples Brush _ A and Brush _ B both include corresponding mapping parameters, Tex _ A and Tex _ B, respectively.

Secondly, the texture data file renderTarget _ A (equivalent to the first texture) which is locally pre-drawn is written into the mapping parameter Tex _ A of the texture instance Brush _ A, and the texture data file renderTarget _ B (equivalent to the second texture) which is locally pre-drawn is written into the mapping parameter Tex _ B of the texture instance Brush _ B.

Third, writing the texture data recorded in the mapping parameter Tex _ a into a corresponding color channel in a texture data file RenderTarget _ C (equivalent to the third texture) rendered in the predetermined game engine, and writing the texture data recorded in the mapping parameter Tex _ B into a corresponding color channel in a texture data file RenderTarget _ D (equivalent to the fourth texture) rendered in the predetermined game engine.

step S231, mapping the candidate texture data to a corresponding position in a game scene according to a preset corresponding relation to obtain a mapping result;

step S232, the current position of the virtual character in the game scene and the mapping result are utilized to obtain the target texture data corresponding to the current position from the candidate texture data.

The candidate texture data may be texture data determined based on the set of physical parameters, corresponding to the type of weather to be presented. The preset correspondence relationship may be used to describe a correspondence relationship between a texture space and a world space, where the texture space is a space where the candidate texture data is located, and the world space is a space where the position data in the game scene is located. And mapping the candidate texture data to the corresponding position in the game scene according to the preset corresponding relation to obtain a mapping result.

The target texture data is texture data for presenting a target weather type, which may be a switched weather type. The target texture data corresponding to the current position can be obtained from the candidate texture data by using the current position of the virtual character in the game scene and the mapping result.

For example, the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be adopted in the process of switching the weather from sunny to rainy in the game. In order to improve the game experience of the player, the corresponding weather texture needs to be generated according to the position of the virtual character in the game scene, and the following method steps can be adopted:

the method comprises the following steps of firstly, acquiring the Position coordinate Position of a virtual character in a game scene, wherein the Position coordinate Position is in a world coordinate system.

And secondly, mapping the rainy texture data UV _ rain (equivalent to the candidate texture data) corresponding to the game scene into a world coordinate system to obtain a mapping result MPC _ Weather _ rain (equivalent to the preset corresponding relation).

And thirdly, selecting and recording part of rainy texture data (equivalent to the target texture data) from the rainy texture data UV _ rain as UV _ rain _ p according to the Position coordinate Position obtained in the first step and the mapping result Map _ rain obtained in the second step.

It should be noted that the mapping result MPC _ Weather _ rain (corresponding to the preset correspondence) may be a file type corresponding to the game engine, and is used for recording a global parameter related to a Weather type. By using the mapping result, the effect of modifying the corresponding parameter in the game logic code to affect the weather type performance is facilitated.

Optionally, the method for switching weather types in the game may further include the following steps:

step S25, creating an illumination parameter structure;

and step S26, creating a data table based on the illumination parameter structure, wherein the data table is used for respectively configuring corresponding illumination component data for different values of each physical parameter in the physical parameter set.

The illumination parameter structure may be structured data composed of a plurality of illumination parameters. The illumination parameter structure is created, and the data table may be created based on the illumination parameter structure. The data table may include a plurality of illumination component data, and may be configured to configure corresponding illumination component data for each physical parameter according to a different value of the physical parameter in the physical parameter set.

For example, the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be adopted in the process of switching the weather from sunny to rainy in the game. An illumination parameter structure Struct _ Lighting is created, and a data table DataTable is created based on the illumination parameter structure Struct _ Lighting. The data table DataTable records an illumination parameter corresponding to each of four basic physical parameters included in the physical parameter set Weather when the basic physical parameter takes a different value, for example, when cloud shielding intensity Coverage takes 0, a group of illumination parameters CoverageLow is recorded, and when Coverage takes 1, a group of illumination parameters CoverageHigh is recorded.

Alternatively, in step S24, switching the current weather type presented in the game scene to the target weather type according to the target texture data may include the following steps:

step S241, determining target physical parameters by using the target texture data;

step S242, acquiring mixed illumination component data corresponding to the target physical parameters through a data table;

in step S243, the current weather type presented in the game scene is switched to the target weather type based on the mixed illumination component data.

The target texture data is texture data for presenting a target weather type, which may be a switched weather type. The set of physical parameters may include the target physical parameter. The target physical parameter may be determined using the target texture data.

The data table may be created based on the illumination parameter structure, and is used to configure corresponding illumination component data for different values of each physical parameter in the physical parameter set. The data table can be used for acquiring mixed illumination component data corresponding to the target physical parameters, and the mixed illumination component data can be acquired by a plurality of illumination component data.

Based on the mixed illumination component data, the weather type presented in the game scene can be switched to the target weather type, that is, the illumination component data corresponding to the current weather type in the game scene is replaced by the illumination component data corresponding to the target weather type.

Optionally, in step S242, acquiring the mixed lighting assembly data corresponding to the target physical parameter through the data table may include the following steps:

step S2421, searching a plurality of illumination component data corresponding to the target physical parameters from the data table;

step S2422, mixing the multiple illumination assembly data based on the values of the target physical parameters to obtain mixed illumination assembly data.

The data table is used for configuring corresponding illumination component data for different values of each physical parameter in the physical parameter set, and the physical parameter set may include the target physical parameter, so that the plurality of illumination component data corresponding to the target physical parameter may be obtained by searching the data table.

According to the value of the target physical parameter, the multiple illumination component data can be mixed to obtain the mixed illumination component data, and the mixed illumination component data can be used for switching the current weather type to the target weather type in the game scene.

For example, the method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be adopted in the process of switching the weather from sunny to rainy in the game. According to the partial rainy texture data UV _ rain _ p (corresponding to the target texture data) obtained by the foregoing operations, a physical parameter set weirer _ rain (corresponding to the target physical parameter) corresponding to rainy days can be determined, including: the cloud shielding strength Coverage _ r is c2, the ambient Temperature _ r is t2, the precipitation strength weather intensity _ r is we2, and the wind strength windlntensity _ r is wi 2.

The DataTable records the corresponding illumination parameters when each of the four basic physical parameters included in the physical parameter set Weather takes a different value. The method for obtaining the Lighting _ rain parameter corresponding to the rainy day from the DataTable may include the following steps:

firstly, acquiring an illumination parameter Coverage _ c2 according to a value c2 of cloud cover shielding strength Coverage _ r in rainy days.

And secondly, acquiring an illumination parameter Temperature _ t2 according to the value t2 of the rainy day environment Temperature _ r.

And thirdly, acquiring an illumination parameter weather intensity _ we2 according to the value we2 of the rainfall intensity weather intensity _ r in rainy days.

Fourthly, acquiring an illumination parameter Windinterity _ wi2 according to the value wi2 of the wind power strength Windinterity _ r in rainy days.

And fifthly, performing mixing operation based on the four illumination parameters corresponding to the rainy day, namely Coverage _ c2, Temperature _ t2, weather intensity _ we2 and Windinterness _ wi2 to obtain a rainy day mixed illumination parameter Lighting _ rain.

And switching the weather effect of the current position of the virtual character in the game scene from sunny days to rainy days according to the rainy mixed illumination parameter Lighting _ rain.

Optionally, in practical application, the cloud cover shielding strength, the precipitation strength, the ambient temperature and the wind strength in the data table may be set to 0, 0.5 and 0, respectively, to present a sunny weather effect; the cloudy weather effect is presented by setting the cloud layer shielding strength to 0.6, the precipitation strength to 0, the environment temperature to 0.5 and the wind strength to 0.5 in the data table; the effect of rainy weather can be presented by setting the cloud layer shielding strength in the data table to be 0.9, the precipitation strength to be 1, the environment temperature to be 0.5 and the wind strength to be 0.5; the effect of snow weather is presented by setting the cloud shading intensity in the data table to 0.9, the precipitation intensity to 1, the ambient temperature to 0 and the wind intensity to 0.5.

It is easy to note that, unlike the processing mode in the related art in which the weather type switching needs to be controlled independently by the scene, according to the method for switching the weather type in the game provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the weather type switching of the current position of the virtual character in the game scene can be automatically performed by changing the values of a plurality of parameters in the preset physical parameter set. Therefore, the method can increase the richness of weather type changes in game scenes, and has practical application significance in game development and design.
