partially flooded dungeon

[AmiDARK]

Hi All,

Does anyone have an idea on how we could make an area of a dungeon be partially flooded by water ?

The way I would do it is with a couple models for water, with a watery texture, and a particle system on it that makes it look more fluid.
I'm still in the brainstorm process of developing this one.

suffice it to say it would not be easy!

But awesome! Think of all the awesome!

At it's most simplest, it'd include making a water model that fits on a downward stair model and prevents going down them. And a few puddles as remnants of water as well.

This, the forest and mine tilesets, the treasure chests and illusionary walls and we are only a dialogue window away from a LOL1 remake! (ok we also miss a swamp tileset, freezing pits, caves and an open city). To celebrate I'll work on a rechargeable lantern

I'm not good as modelling, but I'm sad that we cannot use our own Shader otherwise I have one for water that may be great for the game :p

Neikun, why am I not suprised by your answer ?

This got my attention

Here is the days work.

What we have done is to create a model that is a semi transperant plate just above the floor with a water texture.
Then we define that model inside a lightsource.

Code: Select all

defineObject{
	name = "sx_flooded",
	class = "LightSource",
	lightPosition = vec(0, 0.4, 0),
	lightRange = 0,
	 lightColor = vec(1, 1, 1),
	brightness = 1,
	castShadow = false,
	model = "mod_assets/models/sx_flooded.fbx",
	placement = "floor",
	particleSystem = "waterflow",
	particleSystemNode = "MainObject",
	replacesFloor = false,
	editorIcon = 136,
}

Then we create particle effects (I did 2 effects), one that gives the illusion of flowing water, and another that gives the illusion of sparkling static water.
We use the glitter_silver texture for the effect.

Code: Select all

defineParticleSystem{
 name = "waterflow",
 emitters = {

 {
 emissionRate = 1000,
 emissionTime = 0,
 spawnBurst = false,
 maxParticles =1000,
 boxMin = {-1.3,-1,-1.3},
 boxMax = {1.3,0,1.3},
 objectSpace = true,
 sprayAngle = {0,1},
 velocity = {0,0},
 texture = "assets/textures/particles/glitter_silver.tga",
 lifetime = {100000, 100000},
 colorAnimation = false,
 color0 = {1, 1, 1},
 opacity = 0.7,
 fadeIn = 0.4,
 fadeOut = 2.5,
 size = {0.05, 0.1},
 gravity = {10,0,0},
 airResistance = 1,
 rotationSpeed = 8,
 blendMode = "Additive",
 }
 }
}

defineParticleSystem{
 name = "waterstatic",
 emitters = {

 {
 emissionRate = 1000,
 emissionTime = 0,
 spawnBurst = false,
 maxParticles =300,
 boxMin = {-1.3,-1,-1.3},
 boxMax = {1.3,0,1.3},
 objectSpace = true,
 sprayAngle = {0,1},
 velocity = {0,0},
 texture = "assets/textures/particles/glitter_silver.tga",
 lifetime = {100000, 100000},
 colorAnimation = false,
 color0 = {1, 1, 1},
 opacity = 0.7,
 fadeIn = 0.4,
 fadeOut = 2.5,
 size = {0.05, 0.1},
 gravity = {0,0,0},
 airResistance = 1,
 rotationSpeed = 8,
 blendMode = "Additive",
 }
 }
}

The end result is looks like this.







Grap the source from nexus and check it out, seeing is believing
I got water sound effects and waterfall also with fog emitters, screenshots just don't cut it.

oh that is awesome!

edit: my party just took a shower in the waterfall.

[Komag]

oh my gosh, I should have known you'd come up with something so awesome like that!!

[AmiDARK]

Skuggasveinn, thank you for your help.

I think that with various textures, we can probably modify this to do some different waters.
Great work.
