hi

as I mentioned I made this little Shade-C water conversion for A8 last week, without touching other parts of Shade-C 0.90. everything is detailed in the attached readme.txt file. 3 sample terrains are included and some other entities, and a character can be controlled to walk the scene throughout and check water behaviour.
I suggest you to tweak all the parameters to get a water you like, in the files I mention in the readme.txt, or wait for the next MapBuilder update where it will be possible in real time on a simple panel.
it supports now 16:9 screens, PSSM shadows, single skin or multiskin terrains using terraintex.fx, fog, HDR, but when you include sc_Dof.h and .c, you should always apply mtl_hdr, what you can disable afterwards immediately, as described in main.c to not to get a black screen.
corrections, improvements, donations welcome
and of course, thanks for BoH_Havoc for this great collection!

hot, thanx sivan

thanks mate

wow, 52 downloads within a day it means it is worthy to do similar things (to be honest it was not a huge work, but was useful for learning view settings for me)

a little suggestion:
in sc_core.h at line 50 you can replace SC_OBJECT *myData = malloc(sizeof(SC_OBJECT)); with SC_OBJECT *myData = (SC_OBJECT*)sys_malloc(sizeof(SC_OBJECT)); for safety as it is freed by the engine on exit. or you can free it via water entity's skill99 before removing the water entity (maybe needed when loading a new level).

sivan , great contribution = big fame

I just realized that to avoid water wave flickering, commenting the following line in sc_water.fx helps, without any effect on the shader quality or errors:

v = v + float3(10000.0f, 10000.0f, 10000.0f); // hack to avoid negative numbers

When I run the "main.c", it says

I downloaded to check any zipping issue but it work fine for me.

after 134 downloads, I got no any error report so far, only from you. thus no idea, maybe folder path is too long. but what is shade-c.c?

Ah, sorry, it was an error due to the existence of spaces in the folder name. Had to set max_entities to a higher value, though, but it works now.

Beautiful
Unrelated question, and I am sorry - How Did you get your terrain to be so big, and not fuss up the fps? Im still trying to learn these things
