i was wondering if anyone can advise me? i use the water in the template, and my model swims, dives and it sounds like swimmin, but the look isnt there. i played with the alpha to make the texture on the surface look realistic, but when the model dives, the lighting is the same as if she was on the surface. i want the water to have a similar effect like tomb raider when lara would jump into the water, you knew it was water because of the color changed a bit when she was swimming and the bubbles, but thats minor, i can script that. there was also lighting changes, it was a little darker. what can i do to have that type of effect when my water entity uses the water script?

am i the only fool that wants to use the water in templates,lol?

no maybe yorue the only oen with this problem?
my problem is with ANY water shader, that i jsut get a flat white surface...

we could both have a graphics card problem?

strange^^

well, i know my problem with shaders is a result of the graphics card, thats not what i am looking for. i want to do an underwater level, and the shader wouldnt help anyway. i jus need help figuring out how to give my water the "look" of being underwater. your problem may be a card issue too.

actually, id do that completely different. give fog2 in WED a color. basically, thats the underwater fog. i dont know if they changed this, but it worked well with me. all you have to do is put a passable map entity beneath your water surface to make it work...

thats what i did...

thanks, that really worked well. i just have to create a surface and play around with the colors. i think with the appropriate lighting, it will look great!

youre welcome^^

Recently using a good combination of codes and models I have managed to create the texture of the surface of the water for the people who don't have a good video card or simply not have a graphical card. Now I am working to obtain the effect underwater.Any ways if you are interests in the models, the level, and scripts to
to obtain this effect, let me know to publish

i would love a model and effect to do what i was looking for, do you need my e-mail addy, or will you post here?

Don't worry I am going to publish in my new website and I pass the Link to you..
