Narynzine Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 I was just wondering if there's any mods, or anyone planning on making one that changes the texture of water? I want more realistic looking water but i don't have pixel shading(plus i want to be able to actually see underwater).I know there used to be a mod out a while ago that changed the look of the water, but it seems to have vanished. Is there some way to change the appearance of the water surface while being able to see properly while under it?I like taking screenshots, but the tacky looking water spoils it.

m_gobes Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 this would be a good thing especially for grottos but an easier thing I don't know for sure maybe just easier or more fun for the game would be some sort of helm that increased vision when underwater.

Narynzine Posted April 15, 2004 Author Share Posted April 15, 2004 I don't have a card that supports pixel shading so i don't have the prob of seeing underwater. I just have the prob that my water looks tacky. There's a med or texture file that changes the clouds to look more realistic, and i know somebody did the water a while ago so i know it's possible.If i knew anything about texturing etc i'd do it myself.

Slaiv Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 Well, if you can't see pixel shading with your GPU, then chances are it won't matter if someone edits the water, as the only way to do that is modify the pixel shaders, and it will only change the pixel shaded water. Yeah. Something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narynzine Posted April 15, 2004 Author Share Posted April 15, 2004 I know there's a way to do it, it's been done before without pixel shading. They just changed the textures i think. I used to use the mod that made the water look better, but my comp died and i can't find the mod anymore. I think it was on thelys site way back.

valdir Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 Just buy a 3D card if it's such a big deal. I've never heard of water-texture modification. -val Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narynzine Posted April 16, 2004 Author Share Posted April 16, 2004 That would be great if i had the cash to spare. Anyways, like i slready said: I don't like the pixel shading effect, you can't see what's under the water from above and it looks too metallish. There's a water mod on the source, but it just changes the water to a more tropical shade of blue, so it can be done :P It's called water 2.0 It'd be great if i wanted shocking blue water, but i want more realistic looking water, not swimming pool water ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
