It’s tricky part. I think it could be done to appear less carpeted, but it won’t be good as Bobmsaway’s original one. The best thing would be if we could have more slots for shallow water, more precise with animated texture (on water2 there is animated waves moving)

[Murph]

I have'nt been to the Solomons, but I have read that the water there, even close to the islands, is quite deep. Japanese ships were able to tie up right against the shore of Florida Island, for example, and use he trees growing right down to the banks for camouflage.
Therefore I'm not sure shallow water textures would be appropriate for the Solomons.

[Skunkmeister]

I know. Thats why I did it for this map and Wake island, because it only looks good on maps using little amounts of shallows. Viking has said he will try to help me get it to work for maps with larger amounts of shollows. Remember, I'm a noob and just starting out with this. Give me some time to learn and I hope I can make better ones.

Sorry mate I wasnt trying to be insulting, its an awesome texture and its finally bringing life to the PTO. I just hope that this sort of texture makes its way to the larger maps because it is really beautiful.

i checked my mapmods folder and BP_Midway was the only midway there still cant get to come up with the texture ive used it in several other maps to test it but it only shows on one map Phillipines.

[Bombsaway]

Skunkmeister, no insult taken. I knew people would end up trying it on other maps but it wont look right. I just thought it looked real good on Midway and Wake. I'm trying to learn how to make it better or better textures. I just hope it wont be long.


Fujita, sorry your having trouble. Check your load.ini to see if its "worded" correctly.


To use different tga's open the midway folder and open the Loadini with note pad, go
to the bottom of the list and you will see...

;Water2 = Bombsaways_Tarawa/Tarawa/Shallows1a_Fields_A.tga
;Water2 = Bombsaways_Tarawa/Tarawa/Shallows2a_Fields_A.tga
;Water2 = Bombsaways_Tarawa/Tarawa/Shallows3a_Fields_A.tga
;Water2 = Bombsaways_Tarawa/Tarawa/Shallows4a_Fields_A.tga
;Water2 = Bombsaways_Tarawa/Tarawa/Shallows5a_Fields_A.tga
Water2 = Bombsaways_Tarawa/Tarawa/Shallows6a_Fields_A.tga
;Water3 = land/summer/grnd/fields_proc013.tga
Water3 = water/Beach.tga

To activate a tga remove the ; from the begining of the entry and put one
in front the one that did not have it. This way you can customize the shallow
water to your liking.


Let me know if you still cant get it.

Excellent stuff. Simple to install and very beautiful to look at. Works very well on the Pacific Islands map too. Tip... If you add a ",-2" at the end of the texture it gets rid of the excesive tiling. :wink:

[Bombsaway]

Thanks Bee, I'll try it. Thanks Lejo for helping. Fujita, it should be Shallows6a and take offthe -8 at the end to see if it will load.

[Bombsaway]

Bee, I tried the -2 but the map wont show with that on the end of the entry. :???: It shows without it. Any ideas?
Thanks.

[Bee]

Hi mate. Just saw your PM at SaS. The load.ini should look like this:


Water0 = water/water.tga
Water1 = water/water.tga
Water2 = Bombsaways_Tarawa/Tarawa/Shallows6a_Fields_A.tga,-2
Water3 = land/summer/grnd/fields_proc013.tga

The comma and minus-two are the bits you want. :wink:

[Bombsaway]

Holy crap! duh! :oops: Thanks Bee. Sorry, I'm a noob. :oops:

[334thC_Fujita]

hey by the way where are the maps outside the mapmods folder
also bee what map is that

[334thC_Fujita]

got it working had to rename BPload to just load
