this water is made of a million forms of win (thanks JK)

and b4 any1 says anything it eats way less fps than current dynamic water

Is the com Jesus ?

2 things
that water is lit like it is day light.
can that be corrected(with map settings to adjust the water)?

its lit by the light from the sun i presume (ask jk) the water isnt finished so it could probably be corrected

F*** I didn't notice, it looks like you're right !

first, (cos of #main chat) the water doesn't always look such shiny and it can be much more transparent (depends on angle and map settings). At best to try it yourself :p

yeah, the new map options are:
* FresnelMin(=0.2), FresnelMax(=0.3), FresnelPower(=4.0) (define the refraction->reflection transition)
* WaterSpecularFactor(=20.0) <--
* WaterSpecularColor(=groundSunColor) <--
* WaterSurfaceAlpha(=0.55)
* WaterFoamTexture(DynWater uses this, too)
* WaterNormalTexture(bumpmap)

PS: there will come more new options

Excellent, I will look foward to applying these tags to the updated version that I need to finish.

that looks awesome, what sort of trail do the ships leave?

The surfin' com didn't leave trails

Thats awsome,bt when it zoomedin the water seemed a bit repetetive and weird?

gota, if it starts to look like that, you've zoomed in too close.

As far as I understand this is more of a replacement for the low end water renderers then the dynamic water renderer.

Shit, a surfing com! It looks like he is kicking with his Jesus foot, like a skateboard.


Nice water, looks good, I approve.

Thats just CA, in CA the sea transport is cheaper and open-topped, so you can shoot from it etc. Much more useful than the old sea transport.

I know. Surfboard com = floating DGUN!

That looks real nice, glad to see other people are getting their hands dirty in spring and coding us something cool :D

See this? This is an example of a FEATURE, of which spring needs moar.

Forget bugfixes, crashes only happen to noobs.

I still prefer the hover transport.
