Underwater_gui?

[Sotha]

The water entities have the possibility of giving an "underwater_gui" -spawnarg, as described here:

http://wiki.thedarkm...php?title=Water

 

Do these really matter? I made two similar water entities and gave them different underwater_guis.

(underwater_green_thinmurk.gui and underwater_bluegrey_thickmurk.gui)

 

Both look exactly the same when the player swims in it. Reading the wiki article made me feel you could change the in-water appearance with this gui overlay. Maybe something is wrong as it has no effect?

 

A gui overlay is something that is painted on top of the player view when they are in water, right?

Did you texture the water surface with water_source/water_colored?

[Sotha]

aye.

A gui overlay is something that is painted on top of the player view when they are in water, right?

 

Yes. They should look different, but I've never explored them.

[Sotha]

Hm. Maybe it is a bug. I cannot make murky water at all. Do you want to have a bugreport with a testmap?

[stumpy]

you need a patch brush on the surface of the water with either the thinmurk, thickmurk, midmurk textures on it for the gui to work, but those textures are in the water_source directory outside the darkmod directory in the media browser in dark radiant, even though it does say they are tdm defined textures. don't know why the information about the patch brush is missing from the wiki.

[Sotha]

So now I got me:

atdm:liquid_water, with "water_colored" on the top face.

underwater_gui of this points to "underwater_green_thickmurk.gui"

 

On top air-water interface there is a f_s decal patch, with textures/water_source/green_plain_flat_thickmurk

 

Ingame I see a puddle of greel fluid, looks good. When I jump in to swim in it, I do not get a green overlay in the water. The water is crystal clear with icky-murky-green air-water interface. So the patch paints the water surface as it should, but the water murkiness overlay is not painted on players face when he is in the water.

[Springheel]

Anything in the console? Maybe this uses D3 assets that are missing?

[Sotha]

Nope. The console says something about switching the gui on. No errors about missing assets. Also, I'm using 1.08.

Nevermind

 

 

I guess you could reach the desired effect with an ambient light in there.

[Sotha]

That shaderparm controls the water swaying. Setting it to 0.9 makes the water swirl like crazy.

 

Must be a bug. Here is the report, with a test map.

I think there's a water entity that is just for murky water. Maybe you're using the wrong entity?

[Sotha]

That entity is exactly the same as the normal water entity, except it has a "murkiness" -parameter, which - I think - only applies a lightgem bonus.

I tested that and did not get any murkiness.

[grayman]

The problem is that the spawnarg is incorrect.

 

Rather than

 

"underwater_gui" "underwater_green_thickmurk.gui"

 

it should be

 

"underwater_gui" "guis/underwater/underwater_green_thickmurk.gui"

 

I corrected the Swimmable Water wiki page so it includes the full relative pathname.

[Sotha]

Oops. So simple thing... Thanks for fixing it in the wiki!
