[talisa]

ah, you mean that one at the start of R2M1?
the one for which you used inkub0's texture?

I will replace this textures with a .shader and .ent soon.
The waterfall is really tricky....

That's it splitterface. What I had asked Webangel if she could tackle is perhaps a shader similar to what you see for running streams in Skyrim. I think she can pull it off...look at this water she made!!!!

[talisa]

i think it looks great web@angel

although perhaps an idea... try making the scroll go in the other direction of the texture,
instead of x scroll towards y, if you get what i mean by that


lemme add pics anyway so its clear what i mean

what you have now is that the scrolling is in this direction


try making the texture instead scroll in this direction


i think that might look a lot better

Hi

@webangel

it works

i like it, but its a little bit to fast and obvious for me, i like the waterscoll effect though.

i tried a different waterscroll setting with my newest shader i just made the other day.

dp_waterscroll 0.6 5 -------notice the 5
tcmod scale 0.1 0.1
tcmod turb 2 0.2 1 .005
tcMod scroll -0.01 -0.01
blendfunc blend


this slowed the scroll down to a realistic look for my water textures.

cheers

Sean

looks great.Only it looks like the mapping is going the same way for the height map The 2 should cross each other at 90 deg..

Hello,

I updated the first post.

You will find a small update from myself (V0.55) as well as all the great packs from webangel and smith now in the first post.

It would be a pity if all these individual packs get lost in this thread...
This will make it easier for users to try them all and make their decision afterwards.
They differ quite a lot, so everyboy should be able to find the one that he/she likes the most.

Have fun playing around.

Seven, thank you!

Nice holidays!

Can you ported dpwater for directQ1.9.0-engine?

[CarVio]

Does anyone know how i can fix the reflections of myself (see image) in the water ? as well how i get rid of those blue sky reflections at the corners of the pools (see Image) ?

[_Smith_]

It looks more like a part of the player model, that is on the other side of the water surface, is rendered when "r_water" "1".

This issue is present in Dark Places builds for over a year now.
It wasn't fixed probably because no one reported this issue to Lord Havoc. Of course I am guilty of this sin too.
It's a shame, because the new official stable build is fast, like ~20% faster than the old build I still use in the Quake HD compilation, mostly because of this water issue.

There is somewhere a download link posted by Seven, to this old build that is confirmed to be issues free. I can't find it now.
Search for it, or maybe someone else will find and post the link for you, it was somewhere in the quake help subforum.

I think it's time to finally make a post in DP errors reports thread...

Edit: You can't get rid of these artefacts on the edges.
Distorted reflections on the edges reflect stuff from the other side of the level geometry, there is usually nothing but a skybox to reflect.
Not a very technical explanation. Someone, who unlike me, actually understand how it works, could explain it better.

[talisa]

this is the build _smith_ is referring too. its 100% working and has good performance darkplaces-20110702.zip

[CarVio]

Hi there

Thanks _Smith_ - yeah that would be great if it gets reportet oh and I totally know what you're talking about concerning the artefacts on the edges. Funny how they appear and disappera depending on the viewpoint.

@ splitterface - Thank you a lot for the link. This fixes the issue about that strange player-mirror-thing. In comparison with the newest build a noticeable slower performance but well... hope this gets fixed in the next Darkplaces build. I am already Quake addicted again
