New water effects for Darkplaces

[Seven]

Dear all,

I noticed, that Darkplaces is quite popular in this forum.
And due to the fact I also LOVE this Engine, I wanted to post
a Link to another Forum, which you maybe also know.

Urre and Zombie developed new unbelievable water effects for Darkplaces and called it:
Pretty Water! v0.1

In case you didnt know about it, it is a MUST TRY / SEE.

The water is extremely realistic looking (reflexions, etc.):
Read more details there and be sure to download it and test it.
(Dont understand me wrong, I dont want to advertising for anything.
I just want you to share this big new development and enjoy it like i do !
It is a big step forward regarding the "whooow effect")

Here are 3 screenshots taken from inside3D
.
Try it in map e1m4 for example to quickly see the new effect. (in the big pond near the beginning)
.




Regards,
Seven

Links/information to things people have made for Quake are encouraged (of course). :d

can't seem to get this pk3 working. I put it in id1, get the newest dp beta, and exec water.cfg and I see no reflections and the water is REALLY hard to see. I then removed my textures folder thinking that custom textures might ruin it but that's not the case. Help?

hopefully...

I read in another forum, that the NEWEST beta (from 6th and 10th october) changed some codes. Especially the ones, related to this Pretty Water Patch.

Solution:
If you pick the last stable version from Darkplaces (darkplacesengine20070928.zip), its just one week "older".
It works.

I play with this last stable version, and am extremely happy with it.
Hope this helps.

Hi sniper,

thank you for this "real short" (5min.) movie
It shows me, that you also like playing around with the new water effects (just like me).
Though the water seems a lot to "clean" (almost drinking water), which does not
quite fit in the dirty Quake world, the effects are beautiful !!

Far Cry called. It wants it's water effects back.
