Hey guys,

the water looks really strange and i want to have the one from PP1 back.

Changing the images in "effectbank/reloaded/media" didnt help.

Any ideas?

Yes looks like you had the WaterCol darker and more distortion

Edit: water_basic.fx , you find all the settings there.

And remember to compile the shaders again after you made changes so in setup.ini set:
forceloadtestgameshaders=1

After you changes has been compiled you can set "forceloadtestgameshaders=0" again for faster loading

No matter what I change, the water still looks terrible. I just want my old water back

Please just tell me what to do. I dont know what the shader stuff means, I only was able to change the tint of the water but It didnt show any effects at all..

By the look at your images , it looks like you had the water color set with nearly grey , so try this:

Change this line:
float3 WaterCol = { 158.0/256.0 ,168.0/256.0 , 198.0/256.0 };
To:
float3 WaterCol = { 158.0/256.0 ,148.0/256.0 , 148.0/256.0 };

Or change the water color from lua , use this command:
SetShaderVariable(0,"WaterCol", 158.0/256.0 ,148.0/256.0 , 148.0/256.0, 0)

If you like the DX9 water more , just use "#define OLDWATER"

Not that i really know what i'm doing, the result however seems quite decent.

I have set the color value in the .fx because when i used the script, it gave me yellowish water.

Yeah, thought that would be in the Settings file, but could not see one there. I also tried a few effects in there - #define CARTOON and #define SPLITTESTFXAACVLS, but they do nothing, so maybe this stuff is only wip in Github and not in PP2 yet....

They do work Reliquia.

But in order to be able to make changes you need to set "forceloadtestgameshaders=1" in the setup.ini
When you are satisfied with the changes you made, set it back to =0 again.
//#define OLDWATER is found in water_basic.fx, simply remove the // and save if you want to use the oldwater.

did you set forceloadtestgameshaders=0 to =1? that is needed if you want to make changes.

Make the changes and load it by going into testmode, the load time will be longer because of forceloadtestgameshaders=1, but when you are satisfied with how it looks, you can set it back to forceloadtestgameshaders=0.
