Title: Water level in 1 area(lake) | Green texture | MOUNTAINS
Post by: TudvariHUN on July 26, 2013, 07:36:04 pm

Hi!

I have 3 problems:

1, How do I know that my like is in which .adt file? (So I can set a higher water level to it)
And in WoW there is water at the right places,but in noggit,there is only water in 1 adt.Why?

2,A tile is green ingame,how can I that tile to the .adt file after it was created?

3, Random mountains appear in my back(in noggit).I turn around and I see a fucking big mountain.I will make it flat with Tool 2 but when I turn around after the flattering there is another mountain.Why? (sometimes big holes)

I can't link IMGs


Hi!

I have 3 problems:

1, How can I know which .adt file contains the adt. for a lake?So I can set the an unique water level for that area.(IThe ocean level is high enough,but in the lake there is only 1-2 meters of water.So I want to edit the waterlevel only of the lake.)

2,A tile (.blp) is vibratign green ingame.How can I fix that?If it is because I didn'T set it in the .adt file as a tile,hwo can I lately add a tile to an adt file?

3, Sometimes (randomly) very big mountains appear at my back,I turned around,and I started to make it flat.When I finished I turned around and I realised that there was made another mountain behind my back,while I was making the other flat.I don't know how often this happens.but after a Noggit restart the problem is gone.

Some textures are bugged and they turn up green in-game, try turning off Specular Lightning in Video Options.

For this only _s.

_h textures are only used in MoP. If you can generate them, add them. Adding dummy _h files is useless, though. dummy _s files suppress all-glowing or green layers.

Rivers are basically trails of water, which lead into lower areas (in wotlk, that is) by placing stones and a waterfall m2 into the area. However, iirc, there is also a way of more dynamic water in wotlk.

non-flat water is possible in 1.0 as well. A BC example would be west Nagrand.

Now that you mention it, you are right.

Example of dynamic water as early as TBC:

This is taken from the Emerald Dream map. The water animation bit on top of the water is a M2 placed. You can actually swim up the waterfall.

How do you do that though? .. Like is there a tut on the water part?

So it's possible to make, a body of water, on 2 seperate height levels?..
If so, how is it done?

Edit:
Nvm, AllWater, allows you to put different height's of the water on different chunks of the map, I get it now.
Pretty sweet stuff.
