GWater2 - 0.2b

Thanks for watching!
Payment Calculation I used to predict the price:
(Minimum wage * Number of hours) / (Estimated number of buyers)
At the time:
Minimum wage = $7.25 USD (Where I live)
Number of hours = 200 (roughly the number of development hours)
Average view count = 15000 (per gwater2 video)
Percentage = 0.01 = 1% (estimated number of watchers who would buy gwater2)
Estimated number of buyers = (15000 * 0.01) = 150
(7.25 * 200) / 150 = 9.666
(^This was rounded to 10)
Calculation with current information:
Minimum wage = $7.25 per hour
Number of hours = 240 (roughly)
Number of current monthly Patreons = 165
(7.25 * 240) / 165 = 10.55
(I will not be increasing the price, I just wanted to see how my calculations held up :)

0.2b Is out by the way! I don't have time to post a whole video, but I hope you guys enjoy it! :) Thanks for the feedback on the particle colors and box! ill see what I can do in 0.3b

[@Daenthio]

The easiest solution for the box in front of the gun is just to make it toggleable.

[@cool_bug_facts]

​@@DaenthioMaybe add an option to only make it visible when it's clipping through something

[@yubaZ...]

[@sitkinator]

Honestly, I think most people are paying you not just to mess around with the addon for like a week or so, they're doing so because they are genuinely grateful for your raw skills, knowledge, and savviness around the engine, and how a lot of your work for this game at first sounds straight up impossible without having access to the full source code of the engine. Yet here it is, with barely any lag whatsoever.

[@Lord_common_sense]

Yep

[@manitoba-op4jx]

it's also kinda rare to find a talented dev who isn't a total asshole or self obsessed autist.

[@FissionMetroid101]

From my experience the best rule of thumb when it comes to "Should I have it be X or Y?" is options, options, options! The more control and customization you give to the user, the better

[@JustAFox2183]

God. How time flies. From seamless portals to cloth to procedural trees, terrain, glass and ofher stuff. Im glad ive been subbed for all these years

[@TruCloudGaming]

I really don't think you need to justify charging money for early access to the addon, your work on it is very impressive and the fact you are releasing the finished version for free at all is commendable and generous.

[@mr.foogle3004]

This is incredibly amazing, please take all the time you need on this

[@jackman6625]

I've followed this mod (only on KZbin) since the beginning, and I still am surprised that this can even function. I also am surprised at the blue portal gel looking water just sticking to the wall. Keep going man! I would buy early access if I had money.

[@datasmogger4537]

Man your work is amazing, we're all pretty glad with what you do with the game. Best of luck!

[@olegmoki]

So happy to see a new devlog!!! veri cool, just do your stuff man

[@raxater]

It's already pretty mind-blowing that you're developing this on the side of your studies so props to you for that, I'll gladly spend money for this mod. Keep it up you legend

[@grubasekpl9254]

Voiceover videos are back, nice

[@Sir_Bone-Head]

I swear, you've made some of the most impressive addons I've seen in Gmod, it really makes it seem like almost anything would be possible with this old engine, hell even the idea I had, to bad I don't know how to program. I doubt I'd be able to try every addon you make (inf Map gave me problems on my end) but still, it's awesome seeing your work.

[@MrSpecialjonny]

hes finally talking again, good

[@CaptainTak]

Can you have the global color change on a toggle? Best of both worlds!

[@Meetric1]

Sure, although its a bit of a pain to support both

[@vaingald467]

Wow that looks incredible!

[@stanleybochenek1862]

Yayyyy another gwater 2 video

[@tailnowag8753]

This is amazing stuff! I'm busy with school right now too, but when I get some down time I will definitely see if me and my brother can buy the early access! (Because every programmer knows when you think "oh five months maybe more for this" it's a tad scary with how scheduling usually goes lol) Cheers!

[@gevelegian]

[@Cherrie_The_Furry]

Interesting, also I love this mod. I will definitely be paging money if and when I can to support you and your amazing skills, and the mod is looking amazing so far GG

[@Cherrie_The_Furry]

Very nice

[@KorbenTheShep]

For the box make it have collision with the ground, so you don’t need the indicator to see if it’s in the wall/floor. Hope this helps :)

[@weekal5515]

When you don't have rhe best tools in the shed, you learn to be a master at your work.

[@FluffyAmyNL]

Looks real good. 😍

[@jd_the_cat]

This is amazing.

[@ndxdirectorscut]

if you want the cube to indicate when you're spawning water inside of the ground you could split it in two, one half renders on a Less or Equal than depth with a more neutral color (half-transparent or a mid-gray) and one that renders on a Greater than depth (so it renders only when its inside another object) with a more pronounced color that way it's not as bothersome but still indicates what it needs to

[@thedarkcod4824]

Would it be possible to make the water color be an option, where users could select whether or not it’s global, and possibly even change it on the fly? I feel like this would be the most universal approach, as it appeases both sides

[@Deddshot]

I agree, I think something like a "global color?" checkbox would be ideal. That way we don't lose the functionality of multiple colors if we want 'em (which can be really useful for scene building or just messin' around) buuuut if people don't care or wanna change the color of the existing liquid later, they have that option. (Though if I had to _choose_ between the two, I'd definitely go for multiple colors)

[@Meetric1]

well. the problem is you can only have one or the other as I don't fully know how that would work in a multiplayer setting. I'll think about it, but rn its not a super high priority. (lots of other stuff to fix)

[@militaristica]

​@@Meetric1you can make it a global admin setting in multiplayer

[@punkinman1317]

you could add a option for world collsions for the box thats drawn showing where the water will spawn, I mean as in the white lines would adhere to the world collision rather than going straight through, you could also make it so theres a preset for what shape it will make as well maybe idk lol.

[@stormcooper]

Yes im about one month late to the party and someone might have already said this but i think it's safe to say with water 2 on the horizon we might be getting closer to identical blender liquid levels of gmod fluids, real impressive and curious to see what could be next! take your time g (and no the blender stuff is not a suggestion or request, don't take it as such)

[@CathodeRayKobold]

- the cube is fine - You could add a toggle to change the color of all fluid or just new fluid

[@Todd-vf6lu]

that hopping tho 🔥🔥🗣🗣

[@DonnaPinciot]

Hey, fightspace! One of my favourite maps to play around on.

[@NightBread]

gotta love in the beginning how you just casually start bhopping and strafing around

[@funnyguy509]

Nice bhopping skills! No idea why this "GWater" is in the title.

[@GP22855]

beautiful

[@GAZILLIONDOLLERS]

nice update

[@gabrielnobrev]

Somehow it looks better than before

[@JAK85.]

Something about these videos just feel so much like Tynan Sylvester's old devlogs

[@CringineerGaming]

I need to know how to enable bhopping GYATT. Some notes: - I would keep the spawn box crosshair (just add a button to enable/disable) - Having different colors would be interesting imo (Ive managed to use it to make some very basic shitty art, you can almost use it like a spray paint) Potentially just having another button that updates all water or newly spawned water. What I would Love to see: - Ability to turn off player collision (i hate when I make a scene and then accidentally push around the liquid) - Buffer loading when spawning the big cube (I did mention this to you before, not sure if you added it) - Drain and Spawners (You mentioned this in the D-cord) - Ability to change where particles spawn (the spawning box) Ie how far or close. - How much velocity they start with (The particles always come out with a bit of force, hard to make drips etc.) Love the project so far!

[@5aiv.]

amazing

[@therealnumber7]

im in awe at how jelly that jelly looks at the end

[@bulletbot1486]

about the fun parameters tab, you could add a checkbox whether to update the current water, you dont need to remove it fully

[@Levi_OP]

Yayyy another voice video

[@cytonmain]

What might help in addition to the cube could be optional X/Y/Z rays such that if the cube is midair, you can tell directly what you're spawning above

[@turbet5]

Great work and addon! The main thing that sticks in the eye is that water is reflecting not what it is surrounded (is it using source light probes and cubemaps?) and you shown the non existing sun reflection, so I guess and hope this is what you will improve next. Also the one thing that is harder to implement is that the water makes surfaces it touches wet, so it changes the material properties and look, the simple way is to make everything darker underneath (but only what is touched), now it looks more like glass layer over. The other thing is caustics, this is something that was done by many devs before, I think you can too!

[@Meetric1]

1. It uses cubemaps which are pretty low res (Although I think my fresnel calculations are a bit off so it doesn't reflect as much as it should) 2. Not sure how i would do that tbh. Maybe decals? although that sounds laggy 3. I Honestly have no clue how to do this one

[@turbet5]

​@@Meetric1 2) my guess (not being a gfx developer) is to use depth buffer, maybe like AO works

[@turbet5]

@@Meetric1 3) texture projection, like dynamic spot lights in gmod

[@Meetric1]

Texture projection sounds possible, although that would require a second pass (and rebuild of the meshes) which would probably halve performance

[@Crusader-George]

man, how da hecc is this even possible, time flies

[@Angelvanberghen]

I personally really like the box.

[@Gubbus.]

Gwater my beloved

did bro just randomly decided to bhop

[@CatBucket1234]

add a check box for individual control

Maybe you can make the box an option in the settings.

[@thatbluflame9458]

The solid colors could be sick for a splatoon in Garry’s mod kinda situation

[@Jova]

8:10 you could shoot a trace to get ground level and move the particles up from the hit pos

[@LOVEAnimE10007]

I have an idea to add a setting so that the liquid can leave behind a stain of any color.

omg so so great (i paid for this really)

[@mishkazwei]

water color would work best as an option imo, no reason to hard force all water to be the same color maybe a toggle underneath where it says “Color” and make it read “Constant”

[@shader.mania.ramsio]

Good👍

[@ThatTechGuy123]

Can't wait to run it completely on my 7900xtx and 5800x3d

Just make the box a toggle in options

[@ravenmillieweikel3847]

I like the box, but for those who don't there should be a toggle - if it's not too much work.

[@chex6121]

Maybe add an option to toggle between consistent and non-consistent color changes. And a toggle for the white box. A toggle is usually my solution when I can't decide between options lol.

[@gotnoja2000]

Yes

[@amisauto4360]

Imo that cube should be gone. I like to see how blood/lava splatters on the wall without any visual disturbance, and we should be able to mix colours, beacause its cool to make shake or blender :)

[@wolfcl0ck]

sick sidehops tho

[@adminchobe]

I literally did the Leonardo DiCaprio screen point when I saw my name in the Patron list Also keep the box, at least as an option cause I think it's really useful

[@Crocofurby]

I'm probably pretty late getting here, but it would be great if the scale of the cube (xyz) could be changed (it would make it a lot easier to create rivers) and it would be nice to be able to choose other shapes instead of a cube + toggleable visibility of spawn cube/invisible when using camera

[@FluidEnjoyer]

only show part of the box thats in the ground 👍

[@brickjuice2129]

At this point Mee might as well add agi to gmod.

[@W_A_S_D-gm6nk]

Maybe make the box outline only visualize for the gun when said box is actually clipping into geometry

[@Chaxlotl]

take my money

[@scarlet6666]

epic

[@cheesymuffin8]

you could make the box an option inside the settings

[@mr2meows]

on the water gun you should change left click and right click to fire and alt fire because not everyone plays with a keyboard and mouse and not everyone has left click and right click set to fire and alt fire edit: also you should just put a button next to color to apply the color to all liquid instead of making it automatically apply

[@spazzls4090]

Have you ever thought of making your own engine or indie games (I would make 3D assets in a heartbeat for you!)

[@Meetric1]

Yeah, this is my last gmod addon. I'll probably start working on my own projects after gwater2 releases

[@ThorinOakenshield343]

I paying for this addon because it is fun as hell, also have a question. Can i play with this addon with friends who don't have this addon?

[@Meetric1]

Not yet.. Multiplayer support will come later though!

[@codingidiot6754]

i think the box is fine, worst case scenario you could just make it toggleable

[@hunted4blood]

Could you just add an "apply color to all" checkbox beside the color selector? That'd keep things consistent but still allow for funny clown vomit shenanigans for people who want that.
