SS2 Vurt's Water

[66491c02d2ac5Chandlermaki]

The environment map doesn't seem to be working for me, any ideas?

[66491c02d2c1eJHughes]

The environment map file includes
env_map 0.03 3 tex\envmaps\vurt_envmap1
in the bin.mtl.

The water 5.1 mod bin.mtl is the same except for that line. So if one were to install the environment map and then the water mod, overwriting bin.mtl, what would the effect be?

[66491c02d2ef0vurt]

Obviously it would remove the env map effect.

[66491c02d2fe2JHughes]

Thanks.

OK then, are there any negative consequences to installing the water and then the environment map?

[66491c02d30b5vurt]

Nope. That's how you should install it.

Thanks vurt. I'm just another guy who got sucked back in by the GOG release and the opportunities provided by the NewDark patch.

Since mod managers are obsolete (for the moment anyway), and there are lots of files here that still contain mod.ini and out-of-date instructions, there is plenty of opportunity for confusion.

BTW I finally reached a section where I could see your flora in action and it looks fantastic.

Hey vurt, I tend to like water v3 and v4 more than v5, so I tried those downloads and noticed that the .mtl files have some issues. They each have "ani_frames" defined but do not have "force_ani_settings 1" or "force_ ani_rate 60" so they animate really slowly and jerkily. I added both lines to blin.mtl and blout.mtl and deleted "ani_frames" (this really isn't needed) and now the water looks great. Could you update the v3 and v4 files for NewDark?

(attached my .mtls that I use with v3)

The .jpg links are broken, it makes it hard to choose

Your user name is broken...

If anyone still has the images put them up somewhere and I'll add them to the first post as we've done with other threads.

Took some screenshots since they're missing in the OP.

Note that v4 and v5 look pretty similar.

PNGs? Seriously? You're giving me dialup flashbacks here.

ZylonBane
That's the default with GIMP. I'll re-upload as JPG.

[66491c02d3ee1sarge945]

Thanks for the screenshots. It makes picking a version much easier

Even if they are PNGs

[66491c02d400fHikari]

pictures in first post have expired.

[66491c02d4119Kolya]

Yes. Well remyabel has left for good and his screenshots have expired.

So basically feel free to post new screenshots and @mention someone of the staff so they can replace them in the first post (possibly after bitching about your choice of image format).

As long as they are uploaded as uncompressed PCX, TGA or ICO files, they should be fine
