Hey Guys,
When I was downloading the Beta v1.18
I was so pumped to see the water effects but
there was no youtube video, screenshot or anything.
So now, just because I feel your pain, I decided to make
this thread. Maybe it will also lower then amount of questions
everyone has to ask about the new water feature.

Video 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnOXwt5pNW8
Video 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcSe3zRz88E

Noticed Bugs
- When objects are thrown into the water, it makes the
same sound as to when you throw an object at the floor.

- Water density (Sinking Speed) changes randomly in seperate loads.

- No splash effects, That's because it's a trigger zone,
Trigger zones don't have collision.

- If you shoot a gun under water, smoke appears, that's not
possible, maybe if we change it to bubbles some how.

- The white crosshair for stock weapons (Ex. Colt 45) gets
distorted when your pointing it at the water. The guns in most
model packs are better though.

Thanks for the videos. Actually it doesn't look bad at all. Some tweaking needs to be done obviously. If I remember right it seems that x10 has better water effects. I might be mistaken though.

Wow, that's a water resistant colt 45. Cool.

Maybe they should create a new "zone" called a water zone?

That is a good idea,
All I did is made a copy of the trigger zone files then
changed the Main AI script to the water.fpi scirpt.
Now you just have to change the color of zone image to like
light blue.

Yeah, the shader used (Evolved's) is awesome but it was not used correctly with FPSC

There are splash effects, and the script being attached to a trigger zone doesn't matter. It could be attached to any dynamic object.

Yes, the one made for X10 has quite a better look then Evolved's. But X10's was written to reflect and refract off of a single camera image which can only be done in DBPro X10 so I couldn't use the shader.

Ahhhh, understand. Still is looking pretty good. Since I haven't used it yet, wasn't sure how it was working. Makes sense that one wouldn't have to have a trigger zone - just a dynamic entity. So, a water zone isn't (changed from is) necessary. Thought it had something to do with a "zone" of some sort.

BTW, hockeykid, thanks for being a part of the migration team and you are doing a great job.

That's ovious (#_#)
Since the water covers endlessly on the main layer...
You can also adjust the water level by editing the fpi script.

This idea of having things attached to scripts is a bit stupid (No offecne). Basicly you just need a main water plane that you can enable and disable via scripts and then the rest is like X10, GUI menu with all the controls that always save and then scripts that can have the varibles changed in the editor for quick control of effects in the game.

I posted a tutorial on it somewhere, I think it was in the 1.18 beta thread by Lee
