Water looks brown in dedicated server - FIXED

by Scottie Sirius · in Torque 3D Professional · 01/08/2011 (9:18 pm) · 2 replies

What would cause water that looks awesome in the editor to look brown and oily when in dedicated mode? What was the fix in B3, maybe I missed something in the client/server cuz the water looks like it did in all my levels after upgrading to B3. I had to replace all the water planes. The level is an exact copy of the one in the editor. I deleted all procedural shaders in the client to make sure that wasn't it.

EDIT: Found the problem, was missing a texture in core/art/water

I got the same problem after upgrading to B3, how did you fix it you say?
You replaced the water planes is that all, did you change any other settings?

That's all I did is replace all the water planes...make a note of the position, copy/paste and it only takes a minute for each level. But then you'll have to tweak other settings too I imagine, color, waves etc etc if you made changes.

I did a test in stock T3D B3 with water in dedicated mode and it looks fine so I've missed something in my client server set-up.

EDIT: Found I was missing some textures in core/art/water...doh!
