Title: Vashjir Converting Problems
Post by: Eatos on September 01, 2012, 01:20:09 pm
Recently i have started to convert Vashjir from cata to WoTLK and i came up with some problems.
First Problem is this:
1)In this picture you dont see an coral

And in second it is there

2)Second problem it seams that when you are in the water, diving it is all a bit blurry well not blurry but like not clearly seen

Can anything from above be fixed? changed?

Hi Eatos,

Saw your bip on chatbox...

I don't really get which screenshot is what... Is it Cataclysm screens ? Lk screens ? One Cata and one Lk (and if yes, which one is which version ?) ?

Do you mean the coral sort of clips and disappears when you move the camera ? Does it slowly fades when you go farther in distance ? Does it have collisions ?

For the blurriness problem I don't understand how it's supposed to be... ?

Both screens are from WoTLK...And this is all in WoTlk.
And yeah this coral simple disappear when i move a bit of it. And atm as far as  i know it doesn't have collision.
And about blurriness problem here is example how Vashjir looks underwater in Cata

and you see how does it look on WoTLK atm in my screens

Late reply, but I think the bluriness is because of the skybox/lighting. It must be somehow defined in Light.dbc or similiar dbcs. I found it out through LightMapper, some values define what color/transparency the water has while swimming underwater. Also, there is no known way (or at least it's not common knowledge) to change the sky/water color into brand new one, just predefined ones in blizzard DBC, you'll have to do it the hard way.

I know the thread may be no longer relevant, but someone may use this tip.
