Kin Hil 0 Posted April 21, 2005 Does this work with Keg's reflective water? If it does, then OFP water is complete! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-HA-kgb-cccp 0 Posted April 21, 2005 No idea unfortunately, but I doubt it... cause on what I've talked to the authorm it either reflects or it is transparent, because of how its made where its now an object I beleive... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nemesis6 0 Posted April 21, 2005 Can't get it to work... when I launch the mod after it's installed in the OFP directory, I just get strange lines in the water, more like noise actually. When I run it like it tells me to, I get a "Wrong version!" error... can anyone else get it to work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

-HA-kgb-cccp 0 Posted April 21, 2005 To reduce the lag thought I beleive u just have to change the view distance in the water during installation... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

USSRsniper 0 Posted April 22, 2005 this is not modifying any files it creates own OWPW mod folder.. but you can only launch OFp with water through exe file.. after install there will be RUn Water.. but if you put it like... -mod=FDF;OWPW it will not work..

Rommel 2 Posted April 22, 2005 This is sweet. I use AJ OFP Launcher and no problems at all. The best part is when a explosion happens the debris floats around in the water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rommel 2 Posted April 22, 2005 *Bug (cant be fixed) - When flying a plane you cant see the water. = Desert Island Revealed. (+ every other island) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pappy Boyington 0 Posted April 22, 2005 *Bug (cant be fixed)- When flying a plane you cant see the water. Â = Desert Island Revealed. (+ every other island) Â if u fly with an AH64, BMP2, Small Car, A10LGB or M2A2 it wont work it uses a script to initiate. and they only modified the orginal config, the rest are 3rd party addons that use 3rd party eventhandlers. until they find a way to initate this some other way i fear not many people will use this due to 3rd party addons.

raptor 6 actual 13 Posted April 22, 2005 I got it to work and loved it. I was reading the other posts and admit that I only tried it with a soldier on desert island. Can't say that I too won't have the same problems. Like many others, I use a mod folder or two to play. But like it says at OFP.info this is a beta version. Can't wait to see more of the feedback. Keep it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pappy Boyington 0 Posted April 22, 2005 kgb-cccp @ April 21 2005,22:43)]Hm will u be able to intigrate this into a mdd though if you can create a single config... no i cant. i can make them work with "default" units but you make a mission where player is a custom addon, USMC pack, footmunch airplane, hell even your own trucks. they all have custom eventhandlers. custom eventhandlers dont read base class eventhandlers the way to run this would be to somehow find a way to make the script create the water thing (im too tired to see exactly how u did it but i have an idea from the script names) from any unit. right now, its my understanding the script runs for the "player" if the script doesnt detect if the unit-a running the script is an AI unit the script probably ends correct? well find a way to "init-once" and run it from an AI or player. because no matter what mission is made on wahtever island theres ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS a BIS unit SOMEWHERE on that map. and if u can find a way to make any unit, AI or player activate the water creation then it should work 95% effectivly without "missing water" and forgive my simple-solution mind here but umm has anyone attempted to make the default anim textures transparent? or what about the orginal water model? obviously you put a model inplace of the old one, cant we use a skypack-like installer to replace the orginal water model?
