hi there! i'm looking for water.
i have a pool (thanks to bisella ) and i want to fill it with water. i can't use the usual water because the pool is way above the water surface. i just need this pool as a background entity. it just needs to look as if it's filled with water.
i have some water objects. i have a flowing river and a waterfall but i don't have a still, quiet surface of water. is there something possible that also reflects the sunlight or works like a mirror?
i just want to put this water into my pool for that it doesn't look so empty and it should be transparent or half transparent at least because on the ground of the pool is a nice texture.

is that even possible?

could this be a help for my problem or am i wrong here?

completly wrong you need a kind of surface. A flat decal which simulates water on the top. But if you jump in you will see the illusion. But there is no real other solution at the moment.

what? wrong
yes that would be what i need.

here i took a decal from the decals pack 3 (by devcore35) and put it in the pool just for a test. if this would be possible transparent it would be exactly what i need.

edit: i also have transparent flowing water. but it's flowing. not really good for a pool

Maybe, Laffette's "Barrelwater" could be helpful ?
It doesn't flow, but it undulates slightly

yes, this is a good idea, i was thinking about this already but i was hoping devcore35 would build a decal. yes, i think i will use this for my water in the pool.

ey, nice pool

Eh nuncio awake up!, it can be a great day today.

Do you want something like this?

I've make water + pool models as seperate folders, because maybe you want to use just the water, if so, change size to fit yours needs via fpe file, "scale = your size".

Tried to use Bond1 underwater fx (classic), but it does no work for me. ignore if it does in GG.

Forgot add some blue light to the water, in the video, but you can try if you want.

Of course this pool is for everyone that want to use it.

Enjoy

wow, dude! this is awesome! you know exactly what i need thank you very much for this. it's all working! i tried to add some blue light in the water and it looks great. i will use this in my island hopper reboot. i'll show some screenshots soon! thx!!!

I've not tested this but does the material index for water actually work? If assigned to the entity of water will it splash when shot into?

Hi...

Test this. Material Index can be reworked.

@3com & lafette II: thanks a thousand time for this great stuff! i'm very happy! now i can build the scene just like i wanted it! great! i will show you the results!

edit: here are some screenshots! the rest of the scenery is still missing, i will have to add some more palms and bushes.

Nice screenshots, and great resorts, now the summer hot is not a problem for you.

in the work in progress area i posted the results of my pool party in the "island hopper" thread. i'm really happy it's working! great! i can finish this map like i wanted it to be when i started about half a year ago! https://forum.game-guru.com/thread/210885

@com That's great stuff Thank you!

Thaks mate, you are welcome


Not sure about, even no sure if sounds work with material type.
Sometime I've added wood material index(3) to a wooden floor, but it does not always sound as expected.
Perhaps I'm missing something here.

3com

Nice work on the water, Sound are only 0 thru 3 right now, even thou there are 16 materials defined.

Referring to this "water" thread, I also have a big quest:
How can I add some decals, effects, in to a base waterfall water ?!?
When the water hit some stone, must have splash effect....
Something like bullets impact on the water (see the bellowed video please).
Thanks in advance

Sorry, but your link not work: "Unfortunately, this file is not available."
