Water Woes

[SunnySummers]

Hi all

I'm no modder and its been less than a month that I've learned to fire up the geck. So far I've managed to do everything I wanted to but I've been facing some trouble (or a lot ) with placeable water, on a consistent basis. Some of the problems are as follows-

 

1- I'm trying to create a lake (in a new world space) and I'm using purified water ( 0 rads 30 hp ).My character stands at the side of the lake and drinks the water with no rad poisoning however when he enters the water , he starts getting irradiated. the geiger counter shows +1 rad/per sec.In the worldspace window, under the water data tab I have selected d1purifiedwater0r30h and the placeable water I'm using is WaterOasisClean1x1.It is irradiated but I have changed its attributes under the water type tab.Now it is 'd1purifiedwater0r30h' instead of 'watertypeoasisclean'. I believe I'm doing everything correctly but perhaps I'm not. Also with the same settings there is no problem with interior water (Swimming pool).

 

2- All of a sudden there is water all over and my entire city is submerged (reminding me of Bioshock). Everything looks okay in the geck but in-game my player is neck-deep in water. I guess the lake got flooded . But how? In an attempt to solve this problem, I deleted the placeable water, checked the box for no lod water (in the worldspace window) and dropped the default water height to -10000. With these settings ,ideally there shouldn't be any water but there is !I've done everything I could to make that water disappear but in vain. Looks like I'm about to lose 3 weeks of hard work .

 

 

Any suggestions or advice with regards to the aforementioned issues will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I've had this problem.

Not only do you have to have purified water checked, you have to check that this cell has water in it.

 

Go to Cell View in GECK, bottom left. Then select your cell the left box. Then check has water in the common data tab. Then choose purified water. :) I had this prob for awhile til I received help.

Hope this works for ya!
