For make the waterfalls more realistic you can add smokes or spatters particles at the fall like this : http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/58/flottebm6.jpg

Good idea, it would be nice to see shining waterfalls to, so it looks like the rest of the water.

It would be cool if the water could curve over the edge of a drop and gradually smoothen out as it reached the edge.

I think a newent particle must be created for the waterfalls
Or the effect automatically added on all the waterfalls.
But the smoke/others particles of spring edition arent realistics.

To make that, click where you want the steam to rise, and enter "/newent particles 1". Then leave Edit mode, and watch the results. The codes for the command particles are:
0: Fireball?
1: Steam
2: Sparks
Have fun!

sigh... undocumented features - work in progress has no guarantee of working the same in the next release. Your maps wont crash, but more work for you to update them...

Please look at my map:

I don't consider it "extreme", but adding stuff to the waterfalls makes a big difference IMO.

I prefer a nice looking map that also plays well.

Very nice map! I as well prefer nice looking maps. the only reason i like sauerbraten is because because you can make very detailed maps, even if nobody really pays attention to the detail who plays it

While we're on water-related subjects, I'll bring up the waterrefract issue again. With waterrefract turned off the water is transparent, which is quite an advantage in multiplayer. For example, on river_c:
waterrefract 1 (default):

waterrefract 0:

Actually, some maps are made just for looks:
http://quadropolis.us/node/715

"This map was not intended to run fast or with high FPS. It was designed to look "pretty". As such, I didn't add any weapons or ammo, no health or pickups.

Think of it as a demo map to see what the engine can do and how well (or poorly) your system can run it."

You could also play in wirframe mode to see where everyone is. Its really sad people care so much about their scores and not about having fun.

#18: Wireframe

by RingoStarrreverse on 07/11/2007 03:03

Wireframe not in edit is disabled in the latest CVS.

Bah, wireframe in-game.. so what? Imo, it would be harder to play with wireframe, how could you navigate the map properly? You'd get some advantages, but more disadvantages.

Everyone can turn off waterrefract, if they want. You don't get an unfair advantage, it's just a matter of personal preference. Yeah I know, most people don't know about this. But you can compare it to other games special movement, that was not intended, but you can still use it to your advantage.
