Just to show you the mod isnt dead, im still working on it, but lately i been a little distracted. Here is what i have to show so far.

EDIT: I did forget to mention. I will be removing all instances of "In Cave Plants" from the ocean. They looked stupid and so im not going to have them in the water anymore. And barnacles will be removed as well for now. I really hope someone can make a much better quality barnacle model that i can place instead... just FYI

Couldn't you just retexture the barnacles? The mesh may not be very detailed, but then it's also rather small.

Okay, I'm impressed. I'd love more plantlife or fish in the water, as I don't see to much in the screenshots. Especially the third screenshot which looks cool but is a little bare. It's looking great so far though!

You last picture is really cool, but I've a question about the caves. Did you replace the cavern doors in the entrance? To me it looks kinda silly if you see a cavern door as an entrance into a cave when you're diving. :smile:

no, lol it would look even worse. thats what Slartibartfast did and it looked not good IMO. i left it out. I'm hoping someone can actually make a 3d model of barnacles oneday that i can use. if not id have to get into 3d modeling someday and do it myself. but thats another ball game. i got this project i want to finish first.

That picture is taken in the construction set. If you have waterlife installed im sure you would see a great amount more of creatures cuz i think it adds more spawn points. The screenshots really dont do justice to the mod though. You really need to just take a look at it ingame.

Nice, You like to do oceans while I like to take care of the rivers! I like all the rocks. Though the last pic, The underwater cliffs look odd since the land declines before the cliff mesh edge. That the way you intended?
