terain editor... water question

#1 Re-Light, Save, Re-load.... That's what had to be done with the T2 editor.

#2 Just got the same thing actually.. tried putting f.png into the water instead of water.png and it didnt change. Wonder why.

Phil.

#3 relight and save wont do the job.. i reload and my white block is still there. I also cant change the texture of and existing water block. Strange because the liquid textures are in the same folder

#4 You may want to look at the .mis file and make sure that the path to the image was saved correctly

#5 Nope.. still stuck here... does it actually work for someone? or am i the only one?

#6 I was able to change the water texture in the Waterworld example. I initially just renamed a texture and got it to work. But it has to be a png file and the size and color density has to be correct. The firsat time I tried a jpg and it didn't work. Later I changed the path to a different texture and that worked as well.

I haven't tried creating a water area and texturing it yet though - it may have a different result.

#7 Does your water texture have an alpha channel? The water render code expects an alpha channel and it won't display correctly if it's not there.

#8 Problem isn't alpha channel.... dont think there's a alph channel needed. Its that map! ... i can change and load water textures in all other maps , just not that one. Must be the texture set or some other specs I dont know about.
For now i just start with the maps that do work for building my own maps... so this problem is solved for me.

#9 Anyone solve this?

I'm having the exact same problem.

I started with Scorched Planet, removed everything except the sky and terrain. Then I went into the terrain editor and messed with it for a while until I had a general shape I liked.

Then I went back to the world editor and added a Water Shape. Relight, save, reload, water doesn't show up.

So I went to the .mis file and saw that there was no texture assigned to it. I added a ~\water\water texture (same as was in Scorched Planet originally) and re-ran.

Still no luck.

I don't see anyplace in the editor to set the water texture. Am I missing something?

#10 Ok, after playing around with it some more, I see some things that may be causing it.

I looked at Scorched Planet's water in the Inspector and saw that it was RiverWater (mine was OceanWater). I changed that, and also added an environmental map.

Relight-save-reload and this now works.

I'll try to narrow down which of the two changes allowed it to work =)

*edit*

Ok, the environmental texture was what was causing the whiteness. Without that applied, the water is white. With it, the water has a visible surface.
