These look good Sean. I like the dp_reflect.

Hi

@bluntz

i think it is...got it off google and the author said it would make a good texture he thought...i agree.


here is a pic of the first version...upload is later today.



new version thats darker

the stars twinkle as the sky moves and looks very nice.



the teleport actually also has a nice effect in low light the stars glow in the dark.



try the teleport glow in r1m1.

cheers

Can't wait.

hmm looks not bad, i like the stars. i always loved that starry look in the quake teleporters

which is why i myself am also using an old version of versions teleporter effect which looks less water-like and has stars.
the newer ones look to much like water and i miss the stars in those


although its kinda to mirror-like to my liking... perhaps try adding something like 25 or 50% transparency to it and less reflection?
i think that would make it look a lot nicer

Hi

@splitterface


in the shader you can change the water ripples by editing the first number in the string after dp_reflect...last number is alpha, in the water shader in scripts folder.

[dp_reflect .7 1 1 1 .5] or try [dp_reflect .5 1 1 1 .9]


i kinda like the water look better, it reminds me of Super Mario 64

thanx, ill try that sean.

im not to fond of the overly mirror-like look the teleporter has now, i like it more if its half
transparent.

i love the wavy surface of what you have, but not the fact that its opaque and to mirror-like.

what i meant about the water is what seven uses for texture in his newer teleporters, he used some brown water-ish texture.
i like that your portal is more retro-ish with stars like quakes teleporters originally had.

anyways, ill try what you said later and see if i do like your teleporter more then what i have now that way

[talisa]

hmm i tried the effect with the changes you suggested to the script but nah

thanx for the help, but i like the shader i had better

Hi

@splitterface

heh maybe i could do a custom alpha layer stars texture, thats a little darker and will be more transparent.

dont get me wrong, diverse taste is a good thing


new screenshot of the glow effect, don't miss out.



cheers
