Swamp

[Thomas the Terror]

I will look into it after I delivered the mail (work). But that leaf isn't that bad.

I don't know, probably I more prefer photo-texture... Those veins looks to-much ...

Also alpha... That lily doesn't have really detailed one, you see...

 

[Pieter Boelen]

More detail; nice!

 

[superdurnius]

Jump files? Would you be able to jump from the bridge into the water then?
But you can't swim in modeled water and non-modeled water doesn't look green.
And controlling the wave heights is going to be tricky, though not impossible. :?

I saw, that water in shores is little changed in newest alpha... Is it possible now?

What I suggest you do is send Screwface a PM SD... He is the master mind behind the lagoon around islands mod

 

[superdurnius]

Blah... Probably I'll model everything...

I have looked at location on help-files, and saw, how akella did modeled their jungle...
And then walked around my swamp, and did some decisions:

No walk in water...
Tricky-swampy-jump-around way of travel here... If you'll travel around my location, you won't find all ways in first time visit...
Almost redone it...

 

[Thomas the Terror]

Cool! I am very eager to travel through that swamp!

The lagoon colour mod is auto-applied to shores, but should have nothing to do with the swamp.

Didn't you get my PM about the MaxSeaHeight attribute for locations?
Screwface and I worked on adding some code and now you can limit the waveheight per location.
Here's an example:

	// -------------------------------------------------
Locations[n].filespath.models = "locations\outside\Plantation";

Locations[n].id = "Guadeloupe_Plantation";
locations[n].id.label = "Plantation";
Locations[n].image = "Plantation.tga";

//Town sack
Locations[n].townsack = "Pointe a Pitre";

//Sound
locations[n].type = "jungle";
LAi_LocationMonstersGen(&locations[n], true);
LAi_LocationSetMonstersTime(&locations[n], 22, 6);

//Models
//Always
Locations[n].models.always.locators = "Plantation_locators";
Locations[n].models.always.jungle = "Plantation";
Locations[n].models.always.grassPatch = "Plantation_grass";

Locations[n].models.always.Waterfall1 = "waterfall";
Locations[n].models.always.Waterfall1.uvslide.u0 = 0.3;
Locations[n].models.always.Waterfall1.tech = "LocationWaterFall";
Locations[n].models.always.Waterfall1.level = 50;

Locations[n].models.always.l1 = "Plan1";
Locations[n].models.always.l1.level = 9;
Locations[n].models.always.l1.tech = "LocationModelBlend";
Locations[n].models.always.l2 = "Plan2";
Locations[n].models.always.l2.level = 8;
Locations[n].models.always.l2.tech = "LocationModelBlend";
Locations[n].models.always.l3 = "Plan3";
Locations[n].models.always.l3.level = 7;
Locations[n].models.always.l3.tech = "LocationModelBlend";
Locations[n].models.always.l4 = "Plan4";
Locations[n].models.always.l4.level = 6;
Locations[n].models.always.l4.tech = "LocationModelBlend";

//	Locations[n].models.always.l5 = "Plantation_gateclouse"; // not necessary
Locations[n].models.always.l6 = "Plantation_reflect";
Locations[n].models.always.l7 = "Plantation_gateopen";

//Day
Locations[n].models.day.charactersPatch = "Plantation_patchopen";
Locations[n].models.day.fonar = "Plantation_fd";
//Night
Locations[n].models.night.charactersPatch = "Plantation_patchopen";
Locations[n].models.night.fonar= "Plantation_fn";
//Environment
Locations[n].environment.weather = "true";
Locations[n].environment.sea = "true";
Locations[n].MaxSeaHeight = 0; // screwface

This ensures that there's never ANY waves in the Guadeloupe plantation, because all the water there is a river.
You can do the exact same for your swamp. So that solves the waves-in-swamp problem.

As for the water colour, Screwface managed to get the water colour to change at shores.
If you drop him a PM, I reckon he'll also be able to enable green water for swamps.
That'd be really cool if it could be REAL game water and not modeled water.
I reckon it can be done.

Any news on this swampy pearl, SuperDurnius?
