... sure guys, after all... i'd be nowhere whithout the generous code sharing of so many others here who are really making the advanced capabilities of the engine accessible.
the code is based on the 'Realistic Water' article from the AUM compilation (AUM 34)...
ok... here it is... for better or worse
(sorry for the mixed styles and messy commenting)
basically, all i did was merge the moving water code and Steempipe's water shader code and watershader.fx
you are going to need to make a simple terrain as outlined in the AUM34 Realistic Water article... and you should have Steempipe's demo for the shader file and environment bitmaps... the code simply assigns the material to whatever entity calls the WaterShader action, so assing this action to your water terrain.
also, i am using the version 6 templates, so if you are using the older templates, just pick and choose what you need.
Code:
path "C:\\Program Files\\GStudio\\template_6"; // Path to A6 templates directory
path "C:\\Program Files\\GStudio\\template_6\\code"; // Path to A6 template code subdirectory
path "C:\\Program Files\\GStudio\\template_6\\images"; // Path to A6 template image subdirectory
path "C:\\Program Files\\GStudio\\template_6\\sounds"; // Path to A6 template sound subdirectory
