Waterfall on Mac
« on: June 07, 2014, 04:23:22 pm »
I'm making a map and it is important that I have a waterfall mesh. I've looked at tutorials for how to get the mesh hidden in the Feralheart folder, but they all require notepad, which I do not have (I have a mac). I can't find any other waterfall meshes, so can someone please tell me how to get the waterfall mesh on a mac?

Mac equivalent to notepad: http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-67265.html

Here's basically how to get the waterfall mesh:

Feralheart already has a waterfall mesh with it. Go to Object Maker and type in waterfall1.mesh and that will give you the waterfall. There is also a watersplash and smoke you may like to use as well.

In Object Maker>> Effect Maker>> Particle type in WaterSplash or WaterfallSmoke then click Add New.

If you plan on using lots of waterfalls you may experience quite a bit of lag. Hammy has a low-poly waterfall mesh meaning it's more likely to cause less lag ;) You can find out a bit more about it and what it looks like on his site if you want.

Hammy's site: http://onelittlecorner.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=fhdownloads&action=display&thread=6


Hope this helps!

Before, it wouldn't let me use the waterfall1.mesh, but now it works. There's only one thing- the material turns out black and yellow, and the waterfall.mat isn't working...

Also, here's a tutorial on making your own waterfall texture that might help you figure out what happened: http://www.feral-heart.com/index.php?option=com_jfusion&Itemid=2&jfile=index.php&topic=19316.0
