Swamp Water Material

[ToastGhost]

So I made this for one of my maps, and decided I might as well distribute it publicly.  So here you guys are.  A swampy water material.  It's not the best, but hey.

Directions

• 1.) After following the directions in the ReadMe, open the map-maker and go to the objects tab.
• 2.) At the bottom there is a water segment.
• 3.) In the blank box, type "SwampWater."
• 4.) Click "New Water" and re-size to your liking.

First you have to have the texture/s you want to use.  You can use up to two textures.  Make sure they are PNG files, and saved in the Textures folder.  Then find the Water material file in the Materials folder.  Copy it, then name it whatever you want.  Open it in word pad.  It should look like this:

Code: [Select]

vertex_program WaterVP cg
{
source water.cg
entry_point water_VP
profiles vs_1_1 arbvp1
}

fragment_program WaterFP cg
{
source water.cg
entry_point water_FP
profiles ps_2_0 arbfp1
}

fragment_program UnderWaterFP cg
{
source water.cg
entry_point underwater_FP
profiles ps_2_0 arbfp1
}

material WaterMat
{
technique
{
pass
{
lighting off
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
scene_blend alpha_blend
depth_write off

texture_unit
{
texture waterTex1.png
scale 0.4 0.4
scroll_anim -0.05 -0.05
}
texture_unit
{
texture waterTex2.png
scale 0.5 0.5
scroll_anim -0.08 0.1
}
}
}
}
material OceanMat
{
technique
{
pass
{
lighting off
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
scene_blend alpha_blend
depth_write off

texture_unit
{
texture waterTex1.png
scale 0.5 0.5
scroll_anim -0.03 -0.05
rotate 90
}
texture_unit
{
texture waterTex2.png
scale 0.4 0.4
scroll_anim -0.05 0.01
rotate 90
}
}
}
}
material WaterReflectMat
{
technique
{
pass
{
//depth_write off
scene_blend alpha_blend
vertex_program_ref WaterVP
{
param_named_auto worldViewProjMatrix worldviewproj_matrix
param_named_auto timeVal time 0.05
param_named scroll float 2
param_named scale float 1
param_named noise float 1
}
fragment_program_ref WaterFP
{
param_named colourTint float3 0.25 0.27 0.28
param_named noiseScale float 0.04
}
texture_unit
{
texture waves2.dds
filtering linear linear none
}
}

}
}
material UnderWaterMat
{
technique
{
pass
{
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
vertex_program_ref WaterVP
{
param_named_auto worldViewProjMatrix worldviewproj_matrix
param_named_auto timeVal time 0.05
param_named scroll float 2
param_named scale float 1
param_named noise float 1
}
fragment_program_ref UnderWaterFP
{
param_named colourTint float3 0.95 0.97 0.98
param_named noiseScale float 0.04
}
texture_unit
{
texture waves2.dds
filtering linear linear none
}
}

}
}
You can delete everything except this:

Code: [Select]

material WaterMat
{
technique
{
pass
{
lighting off
cull_hardware none
cull_software none
scene_blend alpha_blend
depth_write off

texture_unit
{
texture waterTex1.png
scale 0.4 0.4
scroll_anim -0.05 -0.05
}
texture_unit
{
texture waterTex2.png
scale 0.5 0.5
scroll_anim -0.08 0.1
}
}
}
}
Rename WaterMat to what you want, and replace both waterTex1.png and waterTex2.png with your own texture/s.

And that's it!  Just follow the directions in the first post to get it on a map, and enjoy your new water material.

O_O wooow

Thank you!

... It doesn't work for me...

... It doesn't work for me...

How does it not work?  Does it show up white?  Does it crash the game?  Does it just say "cannot be found?"

[Diet Coke]

It shows up white.

[ToastGhost]

Ah.  Are both of the water textures in your textures folder?  If so, are you typing "SwampWater" exactly?  Any other variation, including "swampwater" or "Swampwater" will cause it to show up white.
