That water looks well choppy/rough wouldn't want to be out there in that! :)

I played with it some more. The boats do actually sit in the water and the water is darker.
It's not committed yet.

clean & choppy.......

choppy...& maybe more than a tad polluted (in a mod you could script penalties on boats traversing such... interesting game play possibilities).

Yeah, I kind of think some clean blue water would be good too, like what we saw in the original water textures.

Both brown and blue waters will be very useful for the WZ setting- brown for water polluted by the debri of a destroyed civilization or just ordinary mud and blue for the rest of the water since there is really no one left to keep dumping sh*t into it all the time.

hmmm... that raises an interesting question, Deus. can you use more than one water texture per map / tertile set ? when i was working on
v.1.10 projects i made 3 diff water tertiles and 1 lava but i never used them at the same time in the same tertile set-map.........
just assumed it wasn't possible... well pre-source no doubt, but now, i dunno.

there's an issue in play here rarely raised. the way Pumpkin used 1 base tertile for surface terrain and below water land. in this case
it is a darkish brown. because the one tertile is used in this dual role (a mistake on Pumpkin's part, imo) you cannot just will-nilly play
around with its tonality on the water side without screwing up where its used as a surface tertile. so your left with the only option of working
with the water tonality as it interacts with the below water tertile.

Luckily this is no longer an issue, as the new terrain renderer can use a custom texture for the underwater surface.

A lot of people have asked for lighter, clearer, or bluer water, and I agree. However:

I've messed with the renderer and textures for a few hours (turns out glBlendFunc() isn't explained very well in most places), and I don't think it can look much better than it currently does without making the water renderer a lot more complex.
