A few questions concerning the shader I just posted:
1. What does q3map_globaltexture do?
2. Why does it have fogparms when surfaceparm fog is not listed?
3. What does tessSize 64 do?
4. I know deformVertexes makes the water have waves. I don't know what the numbers do.
5. textures/hedo/env/reflejo3.jpg looks like a skybox texture. Why would it be blended with water?
6. textures/hedo/pmarron.tga is actually a .jpg file, but it still works. Does file extension not matter?

Re: Transparent water
My texture has an alpha channel but this shader isn't working. I still need to know how this other shader works as well.

Re: Transparent water
Ive posted shaders and comands to use. if you avoid my help how am i meant to help you further?
As for what certain things do i suggest you use the q3 shader manual

Re: Transparent water
I looked in Q3 Shader Manual and it answered questions 1-4. I still have no idea about questions 5 and 6.
Creating an alpha channel and using your first shader didn't work. Now I will try the image without alpha channel and use your second shader and see if that works.

Re: Transparent water
If the extention is .tga it will look for a tga first then a jpg but if the extention is .jpg it will only look for a .jpg
Re: Transparent water
I just tried your second shader. It wasn't successful. Solid looking water was the result.
Your first one gave me some transparency, but not much. I want water as transparent as what is found in ramelle or edo. I try copying those shaders and they won't work.

Re: Transparent water
I used this shader:
and it worked! Now I just have to see if I can sub in my textures for the ones in edo. I notice for some reason that .jpg textures seem to be working for this while .tga textures are not. I'm not sure why.
Code: Select all
textures/greatwall/water
{
qer_editorimage textures/greatwall/water.jpg
qer_trans 0.5
q3map_globaltexture
surfaceparm trans
surfaceparm nonsolid
surfaceparm water
cull disable
tessSize 32
deformVertexes wave 32 sin 0 1 0 0.25
{
map textures/greatwall/pmarron.tga
blendFunc GL_dst_color GL_one
rgbgen identity
}
{
map textures/greatwall/agua4.jpg
blendFunc GL_dst_color GL_one
rgbgen identity
tcmod rotate -5
}
{
map textures/greatwall/agua3.jpg
blendFunc GL_dst_color GL_one
rgbgen identity
tcmod rotate 5
}
}
