I can't get the fx_water_env effect to work with my A7 Com, is it available for Pro version only? Thanks.

It shows the ripple water now when I include the search path for this image file. But if I write my own sky definition and add a hollow cube (sky flag checked) in WED, the water terrain is invisible again. Quote: //desc: Environment reflection with ripple effect. /// To be assigned to a water terrain, like water.hmp. /// Skin1 contains a bump map for the water ripples. /// If the level map contains a sky cube, it is used /// for the reflection, otherwise a default sky is used. /// Transparency is set through Albedo. /// Required: A6.50+ Pro, VS 1.1, PS 1.1 Quoted from the mtlFX.wdl. I think I'm allowed to use my own skycube with fx_water_env. Last edited by vlau; 09/04/07 18:46.
