Spring RTS Engine

oh I don't really care about the water, I just like updates.

Yeah worked for me but ....neh on a 8x8 map it already slows everything down immensly.
We dont really need dynamic water since it looks like pool water and has no sea waves.
We need a simpler effect that will make the water surface look lke a sea water surface with waves.
Also a wave effect on the shores would be nice...
I saw one in Generals and Generals isnt a heavy game in todays standrads.
So it is possible to make a wave effect without killing the cpu ..

Is supcom's water slower than ours?

There are multiple other water effects you can try...

Nobody is forcing you to run it.

So um, how does this work in very simple Crayfish-friendly terms? Where do I download it from and what do I do with it?

May I ask what mod this is from? I've never seen the units in the background before.

Read my post again. I don't know how I could have been more clear.

thats from CA the thing in the middle isnt a unit but a feature made by smoth thats smoths map

Works for me till i zoom all the way out then she goes white... 8800GTX

That's "fog" IIRC.

Same here and, in addition, I get a buggy rectangle area without fog when I use specific cam distance & angle.

I'll post a screenshot from home.

Some damn dense fog... I'm not in front of my spring machine (at work), any way to turn that off? I should also not when i was choosing start pos there was a crazy green hue over the entire map.

That bug was present in refractive water in 6 series cards as well. I think it is a reflection of the sky.

Hmmm, well it only happens with funky shader vp file happening in the folder structure.

Well I triggered it a bit differently then, by going to a particular corner of a map like center rock, and then the water would all turn light blue like that.

I've read the whole thread repeatedly and it's still not clear - my current understanding is that I need two modified files (springcontent.sdz and dwgroundrefract.vp) and while you provide a link to the latter, no link appears to be present to the former file.

I'm probably wrong in some way, but an explanation would fix that! :)

Ignore the entire thread except my post explaining how to use the fix in the current version and just follow those instructions.

Oh okay thanks, that did it - looks cool but fourfold fps drop. Ah well.

Does not happen when there is a skybox included in the map.
