puting water in a map

Helljumper · 2004-06-23 20:26:32 UTC

some one plz tell me how to put water in a map.

make a brush and give it the common/nodraw water texture, select ur water and put the texture on the top of the brush.

that would just give the impression of water, if it was deep and you jumped into it… you would find you couldn’t swim in it.

make a brush for your water and make shure it’s selected then in the textures folder called liquids_sd, you will find a shader called siwa_waternodraw, it will have the red and black ‘shader image missing’. with your brush selected click on that so it covers the entire brush. then deselect the brush and select the top face and choose a water shader from the textures/liquids folder for it.

/\ How is it that my method work for me then :S

MadMaximus · 2004-06-23 23:52:34 UTC

i dunno man, i just made a test map with a deep pool, and used the nodraw and applied a water texture to the top and jumped in,
broke an ankle on the bottom and had to walk around down there…

maybe your water isnt that deep.

LOLOLOL

I use nodraw water for the brush and add the siwa water for the surface, works fine.

MadJack · 2004-06-24 00:32:12 UTC

Water should be used on all 6 surfaces unless you have other water brushes touching it (that’s where you use water_nodraw). The bare minimum is 2 surfaces facing each others. Like Top/Bottom, left/righ, front/back. If you use more than 2 it shouldn’t have to be facing but I think they have to share the same corner vertice. I’m not 100% sure of those anymore since I haven’t had problems with water for some time, lack of using it helping

MadMaximus · 2004-06-24 00:58:03 UTC

lol, ok… i see what the problem is… in your first post you said common/nodraw water… i read it as common/nodraw…

yeah… my fault… im humbled…

=P

MadJack · 2004-06-24 02:01:07 UTC

Ah! Then, I guess I was kinda wrong? I wonder if it’d work as I posted… I have no time to test it but if someone does please post the result

oS_Digital · 2004-06-24 02:43:51 UTC

Post a sample map for noobs :moo:

MadMaximus · 2004-06-24 04:20:38 UTC

a quick sample map for a pool, just save it as any map name to test it. my test was called swimming_pool.map

now… if you really wanted a decent swimming pool effect, such as light reflecting off clear water and hitting the wall’s around the pool, you just take a texture, for example the one im using for the wall’s is xlab_floor/xlab_c07 ( since i like that tile look ), and open that in your favorite picture editor, i used psp7 for mine. and make an alpha channel that’s about 60 to 75% bright and save it as a tga in your textures/mymap folder, then use the following shader,


textures/mymap/my_texture_reflect
{
	qer_editorimage textures/mymap/my_texture.tga
	{
		map textures/mymap/my_texture.tga
		rgbGen identity
	}
	{
		map textures/liquids/pool3d_3f.tga
		blendFunc GL_dst_color GL_one
		rgbgen identity
		tcmod scroll -.05 .001
	}
	{
		map textures/liquids/pool3d_3f.tga
		blendFunc GL_dst_color GL_one
		rgbgen identity
		tcmod scroll .05 -.001
	}
	{
		map textures/mymap/my_texture.tga
		blendfunc blend
		rgbGen identity
	}
	{
		map $lightmap 
		blendfunc gl_dst_color gl_one_minus_dst_alpha
		rgbGen identity
		tcGen lightmap 
	}
}

and paint the walls above the pool with that. gives it nice effect.
but’s that’s neither here nor there… =P

the sample map will show you how to do plain water.
