Title: [Release/WIP] Improved Water 2.4.3 [BC] by Akeno
Post by: bamby on September 02, 2017, 02:04:05 am
Improved water 2.4.3

As the tittle says, this patch changes the water textures for Client version 2.4.3 (BC).

Ocean and rivers use completely different textures and there's a lot of dbc editing involved as well.

The patch is still not perfect but I'm releasing it for now, because I know a lot of people will appreciate it and if I can, I will continue improving it.

Video coming soon!

Do I need WowME?

Yes.

How do I install this?

Just place the downloaded file in your World of Warcraft/Data directory. 

Who made this?

Special thanks to the following people: 

Bamby - for original textures, video and guiding.

Inico - for procedural water tutorial(s) and splash textures.


Me (Akeno@Smolderforge) - for wasting time on this, creating new textures and testing it out like crazy.

Update 1.1. - 03.09.17

What's new?

Improved lightning in every area of the game.
Changed colors of water in several areas to fit with the lightning better (needs more testing, but should work properly).
Learned how to change liquid speed = water moving slower/faster etc...

Nice job, unfortunately for me I won't be able to use it. It has this TV static effect that's quite jarring. Keep it up though, I believe few have attempted this.

Is this project dead? Or are there some updates? :)
