[RELEASE] "Better" Procedural Water 3.3.5a

[Nupper]

i've am not sure what is wrong with this one.
but viewtopic.php?f=59&t=8253 works for me.

It's because the main water texture is decided by Blank.blp here, a texture 100% white. If you put the Blue1 texture instead, then it will become like this :

Don't use any colored textures as they'll distort the coloring of the water. For example you don't want the red water in Bloodmyst Isle to have blue in it do you? Anyhow Blank.blp is an empty file so it shouldn't be coming up white. It definitely doesn't for me, and it's working for other people too. Either way you'd probably be better off just deleting the textures in that column entirely rather than changing to whatever Blue1 is. That's how I had it for a while and it worked.

Yeah I know. I just wanted to show that the problem came from Blank.blp since it isn't empty in your patch.

I'm using a patch containing the contents exactly as supplied so I can't see where the problem is arising. Blank.blp is entirely transparent for me, so I don't think that's the problem here either.

You're sure you don't have any other patches that could be interfering? I don't know how else I could help. Hopefully you can fix it though.

So are those textures the textures used for displaying the water? If that's the case, this is not procedural at all.

It is not really procedural because it uses animated textures. However, it's animated in two different ways. Here we get waves on the water surface (that is what makes some people call it "procedural") and the texture animation. You can see these waves clearly by looking on a bright Helnesis' water. I think if we work a bit longer on this water we can definitely make something close to Cata one or at least looking different from it but still better than WotLK one.

I'm really sure it's not a patch conflict but I can't think what else it could be. Really weird. I appreciate that you can't do much to help, though. At the moment i'm not really bugged by using Blue1 as a replacement, but i'll continue to give the issue some thought.

You're really sure as in you've tried removing all other patches and it still didn't work? Or haven't you tried that?

[Amaroth]

OK, I love you. No bugs encountered so far, works 100% for me.

I haven't tried that, but given that none of my other patches contain anything to do with LiquidTypes.dbc or XTEXTURES I just can't see where the conflict would occur there.

[Skarn]

The patch works perfectly. Thank you.

Wow, beautiful use of the water Amaroth! ^_^

Remember though that there are bugs with the WMO water.

[Putte08]

Works well! Thanks for the release!

[Skarn]

Guys, we should find a solution to the wmo water problem. At least I think it is possible to make wmos use the usual 335a water.

[hyakkimaru]

We must find a solution for the milky water too  :lol:
