What are ideal Water settings

Recommended Posts

Ever since I got my new GFX card my water has been horrible. For every terrain. It is way too light blue and fuzzy at distances. Also it barely moves. I'm using Jan Tumas terrain upgrades and I currently have DX11 gfx card. Can someone post their water settings from their Terrain_DATA.ini that they are happy with. I dont know how to optimize water settings. Thks

 

BTW It's for FE2

I was drooling at the mouth after seeing your shots of the Fokker 7 in FE2 with the bump mapping, so I thought maybe if I got DX10 on my Quad 660 4gb ram with GTS250 1gb video card I would see that too. So I got onto this site and these pictures were there. I thought you might be interested with your water question. DXDIAG says I am now running DX10 but needless to say, I cannot get anything like that (or bump mapping in FE2) and I now get an error message with I fire up FE2 as well. Any IT savvy folk out there got any ideas please?

the illusion of 'movement' is usually controlled by the "waternormal.bmp". Also, check the alpha channels on ALL sea, river, and sea/land transitions tiles. Compare them to the stock ones if needed. There are varying levels of grainess that helps add to the illusion of waves, currents, sea serpents, etc
