[QUESTION] Water???

[Mokrim]

Hello there! I have yet other problem.

When I apply the patch that I'm using the said ADTs from Noggit, when I go in-game- Everything seem okay expect that WATER IS MISSING in-game!

I have absolutely no idea how to fix this?! I use Noggit revision 279.

Thank you for helping me! <3

there is no way to fix water on edited adt

You can use all water wotlk (you'll find it in the tools section) to re-add water to the adt.

I got the All WOTLK water, but it seems does nothing to me. You do have tutorial on getting it to work or how to use it? I looked over, couldn't find any- I probably overlooked something. >.> Mind linking on a topic that show me how to use it?

The gui app or the CMD one

First copy AllWater_wotlk.exe to your maps folder

world/maps/yourMap/

Then just make a makeWater.txt file in your maps folder and rename it to makeWater.bat.
Right click and edit this file.

Then add for every ADT you want water jsut one line like this.

AllWater_wotlk.exe Meberian_17_28.adt 0 2 80
AllWater_wotlk.exe Meberian_18_28.adt 0 2 80
AllWater_wotlk.exe Meberian_19_28.adt 0 2 80
AllWater_wotlk.exe Meberian_18_29.adt 10 1 70
AllWater_wotlk.exe Meberian_18_29.adt 10 1 70

First is the exe.
Second is the name of your ADT file.
Then third follwoed the height of the water level. 0 is ocean level.
Then the water Type. Take a look at the liquid.dbc
Last is the transparency in %.

Now you can simple click this bat and all files will get water back after editing in noggit. This tool can only add water at one level on the full ADT.

I believe it is CMD. It just automatically closes, though. Probably because it isn't in right folder...

Just to clarify it up-

I  have to add this in text file, each new line just like this-

AllWater_wotlk.exe - the 'First one' on your list, the executable file.

Meberian_17_28.adt is the ADT file, as in your second point on the list

Then, the 0 2 80, is basically Height, Water Type and transparency? What if I want to limit it, like say in Loch Modan to the lake? Since mine seem to disappear for some reason.  Or it will cover whole  Loch Modan?

Then, the 0 2 80, is basically Height, Water Type and transparency?

Yes.


As I wrote its always the full adt with this tool. But if the ground is over the see level you can´t see this water.

[Mokrim]

Hmm. How I do know what level  I should put if I wanted for water to only appear in Loch Modan lake? Or randomly guess until I get it right?

WoW modding is often try and error

[Mjollna]

For water level, you can add a rather flat object (something like worldexpansion02doodadszuldrakwaterfallszuldrak_waterfog_01.m2 , which is fog), put it at the right height where you want water, make sure you have the object selected, press F8, and then look at the height

Good point

[frezer748]

when does the water save function be edit? I mean only the function that the water wouldn't be deleted when saving a ADT where some terrain higher or lower was made.

We don't modify the existing file but write a new one completely from scratch. Therefore, even "just leaving water as it is" is not that easy (at least not easy, when done right). There is no ETA.

Will it release in the new noggit patch?

[schlumpf]

I have no idea what you refer to by "the new noggit patch", but most likely: no.
