'Swimmable' water in terrain

Num3 · Post by **Num3** » Tue Mar 07, 2006 10:03 am

Of course it's purebasic!

The code is pretty simple...

I'm detecting the terrain height and when it goes below a certain level triggers a blue thick fog ...

The water bubbles are just 2d sprites on the screen

I'll post the code tonight, when i get back home!

It'S definitly cool but I think the blue of the water can be improved to let it look even more realistic

Here it is!

Get it while it's hot

File:363kb->Water.zip

I'm now working on a water map system that will eliminate the fringe between the water and the terrain.

--- PROBLEM SOLVED ----

Set the screen to 32bits and the hard edges are gone!

Thank you very much for the code. I'm sorry to say I managed quite a bit of it by myself already, but the upgoing bubbles were nice.

If I manage to get my app to allow me to take screenies I'll post some pictures of it

Screenshots are easy

When the app quits, just add this

Code: Select all

Grabsprite(1,screenx,screeny)
Savesprite(1,"c:\screenshot.bmp")
End

Or just define a screenshot key like F12 !

Well, here are my screenshots as promised

Don't worry about the ugly cursor, that's a bit blurred because i convert the screenshot from bmp to jpg, it looks good in-game

and, underwater, only without your bubbles:

Wow!!!!

Niceeeee ....

Your water looks better in the intersections!

Btw, which program do you use to create the terrain ?

Yep, looks great !

Hmm somwhow I think we should have something like thsi and/or the physics example form Fred in the Standard examples and on the website

Well in the second picture I would do the fog a bit darker, so no light-blue in it.

I used L3DT for this terrain, after I found a link to it somewhere on these forums

As for the intersections, I just used your suggestion about the 32-depth screen, and that solved it. No fancy other thingies, just that

Edit: Your example was of invaluable worth, num3

@Fred : Can you please check the 16bit screen feature/bug in ogre ???
