EDITOR - Waves

[Morphid]

I have tried to add waves to my map... but unsuccessfully. Which colours have dots on the start of the "red line"? In my case, I have a "water" effect everywhere on the map (Units have foots under the water).

Please, who knows a faithful method, answer it in detail. Thanks.

Hi Morphid

Grndsc is broken because done GBI can not load.

So you cannot add waves to map.

[Nitek]

AFAIK you can add waves. Stucuk wrote about this in this topic on OWS - http://forum.stucuk.net/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1120

But how says Serpent, I can't load a GBI in grndsec =(..

Unless I would import bmp and *.wi file and after it bitmap with waves.. Will it function?

[Radzio]

Yes, it should.

[Morphid]

This is my steps (not function =D)

I export Water Heigh map.. the exported bmp I duplicate.

On the first of them (water anim) I do red lines (RGB: 255 0 0) with yellow dot (RGB: 255 255 0) and light blue water and other "white" parts of map I do in blue (RGB: 0 0 255)... (finally I have blue image with red lines and yellow dots) - In other cases editor report an error: Too many waves on the map!

The second of them is water heigh map... I import Water Anim Map and after it I import Water Heigh map... in the end I export Water Image as bin (water.wi)..

GBI
In grndsec I open my bmp with textures and import WI file... Click on Autopack and save as GBI to GroundBI folder in my mod. In editor I import gbi (>save, restart..). set waves requested to number higher than 0 and when I start the mission, editor(mission) doesn't work.

What is wrong?

[Radzio]

You don't see waves?

[Morphid]

No, I don't see waves because If I set "waves requested" number higher than 0, atfer CTRL+E editor shutting down (and when "waves requested" is 0, waves are not visible)

Some people succeeded

[Morphid]

Has anybody the "water_test" archive from OWS? It isn't there (file not found). Probably it would help me.

[Gothuk]

Yes sure. It is: http://original-war.net/br_upload/files/water_test.rar

[Morphid]

Yes sure. It is: http://original-war.net/br_upload/files/water_test.rar

Very thanks, Gothuk! =)

[Morphid]

Ok. The problem was solved. I imported a color palette from "water test" and applied it to my image. Thanks all
