[Neyo]

Can anyone tell me how to install this please?

Sure! Simply pack the two folders in the zip file into an MPQ patch and put it in your wow client's data folder.

my water is white with this newer update.

Hmm I'm not sure why that is. It works perfectly for me.

Yup from the link i posted a few posts back. I just opened the zip file, grabbed the two folders inside that zip, and added both folders to an MPQ patch. It works like a charm for me.

Here's a screenie of my water using the files from the link:


and here's a download of the patch I made using those folders from the zip:

If that patch I made doesn't work for you then I don't know what else to say. It works perfectly for me.

Thank you for uploading the patch and I have to say it's exactly the same as mine, here's the issues I'm having and they occur each time I login :

Stormwind water texture is completely white and blooming.
All other types of water are behaving very strange - the waves are really fast and they're a mix of the old water texture and the new shaders.

I tested this on multiple wow.exe's , I created that patch several times, I tested it with yours (the pics are from yours) and the result is still the same. I'm not using any other custom MPQs at the moment.

P.S. I know that when I use the old liquidtype.dbc things seem to work, but then I just get the old version.

I'm thinking whether it has anything to do with my graphic's card, but it shouldn't , since every other patch seems to work fine - whether mine or someone else's.

I'm not sure what's causing your issue. Is it possible there's a conflict with another patch you're using? As I said my water looks fine everywhere... no weirdness at all anywhere.

Again, I am unsure why it works for me and not for you. I tested with no other patches but the one I linked and I get perfect results. I wish I could be more helpful

On my server this is what stormwind canals looks like at night:

I tested your patch again on a clean EnUS client, I tested mine again too (they're exactly the same) and I get the same result. The water near Orgrimmar seems to be green which may mean missing textures, but nothing is actually missing. I'm not using any custom shaders like Sweetfx either. I even tried different resolutions and the result is the same and it only happens with this MPQ patch. Everything works fine with the older version and even with a version I made* a  few months ago. If nothing works, I'll just open the liquid.dbc file and see what the changes are and make a new one myself.

If you do figure out the cause and are able to fix it you should post here and share your findings just in case anyone else has the same issue.

[Neyo]

I will for sure .

Think carefully about what you have in the patch and where you place it.
