Configuring/fixing Improved Water Shader

Post » Tue Apr 06, 2010 4:02 pm

Title.

All I can find is tonnes of "OMG IT'S SO AWESOME!" comments, but no information for configuring and/or toubleshooting the actual file. The readme doesn't have any either.

I guess I forgot to just save the edited file when swapping to MGE.3.8.2, I did reinstall the mod over it again.

The water before actually showed the lakebed, and plants/animals swimming around in it.
Also depth, and the water reflections/ground texture, especially near land kind of "bobbed" a bit.
The "Water texture" was just the right resolution and actually looked like it was moving up and down!

The texture resolution is totally off, like it's far too long or wide.
Can't see the bottom or anything under, only the reflections and a "fake" reflection of the ground texture.
Totally flat, there is no bumpmapped motion.


What gives?

MGE 3.8.2 already includes the improved water shader (it says in the main thread and changelogs). In general shaders aren't forwards/backwards compatible, so you have to match version numbers and avoid outdated information.
