0 Secant Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Waterboxes are part of the map's mesh and are handled by using an animated texture. As far as I know, such features are not currently supported by any custom map importer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Okami Amaterasu Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 You can also use an actror to make the water visible, just put it on the same level as the top of the waterbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't use Google SketchUp. I would explain, but I doubt you (or many others) would understand if I only made a short explanation. ...And I don't really want to make a long explanation.

0 â–²ChriisTiianâ–² Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 How do I inset an animated texture, do I have to do it in google sketchup first? Would anyone plase care to list the steps, I would really appreciate it! I dont know if this can help... But for a way more easy, you can use a actor. Ex: (Number - Variable - Group): 0050:0001:0036 This is a Water plane, obviously with animated textures... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about this, thanks! I dont know if this can help... But for a way more easy, you can use a actor.

I would explain, but I doubt you (or many others) would understand if I only made a short explanation. ...And I don't really want to make a long explanation. When you got time can you please try to explain it, I'm a very good learner and I don't know who else to ask. I know it has everything to do with tons of coding but all I'm tying to do is insert animated water texture over a huge plane, if someone who is tech savvy can write the code and let me choose the size and position of the water texture in the map that would be a lot easier. I tried looking everywhere for an answer but the method is not described anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 SanguinettiMods Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 If you can deal without it being animated, as it doesn't really need to be, unless you're just that picky about realisticness, Just make a face that will have no collision in google SketchUp, therefore having a separate Collision and Map model, and texture it with a water tetxure. Then lower the Alpha channel of the face in SharpOcarina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great idea and I've tried it but there's an issue, The water texture disappears on certain areas, like the floor in this example. i'll try to mess with to see if I can figure it out. As for the other advises, I am grateful and it works to insert an object such as a water plane but I need to cover a huge area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Griduser64 Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 I got it to work so now it looks like there is water! I still would like to learn how to insert animated textures but it's hard to find someone nice enough to teach me, so I guess this will have to do for now. Thanks for your support guys.

0 Arcaith Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 The water disappearing is a z-buffer glitch, the game is drawing certain faces after it draws the water actor, which is probably connected to presets in the actor's own render order.
