*for ability to transfer script, you just copy paste code from MOD/NOTransfer included script into new script template.
REMEMBER, too much particles significant impact rendering performance, probably 2nd known lag source after avatar appearance rendering. So use it with that keep in mind.
Notes:
Why I made this?
I noticed there are no low resolution simple textures for snow emitters that must be very popular at winter. So I made pretty simple 64 x 64 size without flake details. Wrote simple script for emitting 25 particles every quarter second. Overall comparing to other snow emitters overall this must be very low lag. But idea of package is to give particle script where you can use third party creators snow textures (cause I am not artist). Just remember higher resolution of texture, more laggy to surroundings it will be. (it is rule for every particle script in SL)
*Why is so strange permissions?
TEXTURE. As doesn't need anything to change in texture it is no mod, but it unlimited copies and transfer so no problem to use it in own products. As well you does not need to apply it on prim so it not interfere with full permissions of object.
MAIN SCRIPT. Script is COPY and MODIFY but no transfer that means if you would like to use it in own product you will need to copy content of mine script and copy it in yours new empty script. This way I am safe from YOURS customers support.
BONUS SCRIPT. Just almost the same script with better resolution texture. It comes as bonus, texture not property of package. It also rewrites description of object you place it with "Powered by NEKKA (silk.aeon) snow fall engine" each time prim rezzes. I did it for few reasons. but hey it's bonus, you have full perm original script that you can modify way you want without any overriding of object descriptions. So in brief this script for lazies who do not want to seek another texture, who satisfied with default result, and don't care about using another trademark in own products.
Be AWARE I AM NOT GIVING CUSTOMER SUPPORT for this product as here nothing to support, all components you can use in own creation and giving customer support self.
My english is not enough good to give lessons on scripting, and I will not do that. For adjusting settings please use this link http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlParticleSystem , read commentaries, join scripting groups, ask yours more experienced friends or hire scripter.

Still Rocks
Over a decade later, this product still rocks. The implementation of the effect is perfect--falling snow doesn't need to be (and shouldn't be) mesh with high resolution textures. A particle emitter is the way to go. Buy this thing, pop the script in a prim, move it around until it's where it needs to be, and that's it. Or even mod the script if you need to.
My only complaint is that this is 1L. It should cost more.
Thank you
if you just want snow now then it is that now :) I hope I shall also learn from this set. Thank you for this starting point and for snow which actually looks nicer than most of the free ones I have tried because it is less glowy balls and more real snow like :)
A great free product
My daughter asked me for snow - i gave her snow :-)
