GWater2 - 0.5b

[@djzanderoni6095]

What if there was a setting for water to disappear when it touches actual baked in map water, so something like a waterfall could be made or something. Maybe the water could be a bit buoyant and disappear after a short while after touching the water. idk

[@jujuteuxOfficial]

or if you use a grav gun on a body of water you can take water from it like you'd do with a gwater pond not shrinking it by any means, just so you can have water without having god tools to spawn it infinitely or with emitters

[@deltahl]

+ An entity mappers could use to generate water. So they can create waterfalls, rivers, .. which use the GWater system.

[@RAFA120HOJAZ]

Or make Gwater not collide with baked water, and if gwater is under baked water, make it invisible, but don't move because if we make water disappear when touching water, we won't be able to flood maps

[@arthigo157]

that's a really smart feature you thought!

[@Rlowe247]

Map interactions, do water particles consist or autodelete when in the map's water? Could make the black hole create particles when its near a body looking like it's pulling water out.

[@thealandude9146]

The way the cloth draps looks so nice I might try to see if i can use it as a drawing reference lmao

[@VogelBoys74]

I think maybe, because where the water is looks reflective that you could use that rendering but not as intensified on spots that would soak water, concrete, wood, woodplank, etc. and will store it in a list with a value of wetness and a position, when the wetness reaches zero it will be forgotten to save memory.

New idea to add in the performance menu: An indicator for the graphics card you would need to spawn a certain amount of particles with good performance

[@cherryparry]

i know the focus of the mod is on water but i hope you can consider adding soft bodies into the mix when your happy with adding features and perfecting the water

[@AlphaGarg]

I mean the cloth is technically already a soft body, just doesn't have any volume constraints or any mesh other than the high poly plane. If he does do this, I think he should probably disable self collision for a soft body with volume constraints by default for performance. Dunno what kind of integration method he (or the library he's using) uses for the cloth, but if it's a modern version of Flex, then it probably uses Nvidia's XPBD, which was made for both softbodies of all kinds and rigidbodies of all kinds.

@@Meetric1 yes, i know that, i meant the MAX limit, like that of the slider, also i DID get a good idea - i have no idea how youd code this, but some sort of stain feature: on by default, but toggleable, water particles could leave a stain when they hit map geometry (and maybe props), before evaportaing (toggleable) after a set time. perhaps add some sliders for size and translucency and mab - your water simulator is now the most accurate blood mod too!

If there wasn't self-collision it would've just flattened instead of piling up into a ball

It's just that the normals aren't getting flipped on the backside. Could be fixed by checking winding in a geometry shader and flipping vertex normals if the winding is reversed (or in the fragment, inverting the normal if it's facing away from the view position)
