BETTER WATER 1.0

With this minimod i have the purpose to improve incredibly better the water detail in the battle map. I created brandnew textures, water/wave/ripples bump mappings and particles. For now result is very promising as you can see in the quick previews i made below, considering i havent touched the txts yet

Sorry in advance for pics quality but i have a 56k modem

PS= i know you'll ask me about compatibility then and i answer you that, this minimod will be fully compatible with everymod around twc

I found this link

The speed of a river varies from close to 0 m/s to 3.1 m/s (7 mph).

**DAVIDE** · January 07, 2010, 10:55 AM

ok i just used Nile's 2,1 m/s value, according to the link. In games result is wow.

are shaders editable in med2?

EDIT: ocean shader is editable lol

i have a problem with the bump mapping i created. I m making a fixed version of it which will be a little bit different

**IZob** · January 07, 2010, 07:58 PM

Nice water you have there. You should upload some images of the normal water for comparison. Will you be able to add shape to the water like waves? Empire total war dose a really good job with the wave effect. It would be awesome if you could get something like that for medieval.
