Title: oa-shouse lava modification
Post by: kronix on September 02, 2007, 11:31:44 PM

One of my favorite maps to use in oa0.6 was mc-oa-dm03 from the map-canter map pack. I was very excited to see it's inclusion into OA0.7 with several improvements as oa-shouse. I loved all of the graphical changes except for the new lava. To me it was bright, repetitive, and pretty much just sat there with barely any movement.

Originally I was gonna just post and see if anyone could change it to look a little better, then I decided to look into it on my own a bit. I only ended up adding about 4 lines to the liquids-lava shader file. I really like how it came out, and was just wanting to see if anyone else was interested:

I've attached the .pk3 file for the modification. just unzip it into your baseoa folder.

Code:

textures/liquids/lavahelldark
{
	qer_editorimage textures/liquids/lavahell3.tga
	q3map_lightimage textures/liquids/lavahell.tga
	surfaceparm lava
	surfaceparm nolightmap
	surfaceparm nomarks
	surfaceparm noimpact
	surfaceparm trans
	q3map_surfacelight 100
	cull none
	deformvertexes wave 1 sin .01 .03 0 0.2 
	{
		map textures/liquids/lavahell3.tga
		tcmod scroll -.005 .001
		tcMod turb .2 -0.03 0 0.1
                tcMod scale 0.25 0.25
	}
}

You were mapping the texture twice without any blend function, essentially just wasting resources.

yeah.. pretty obvious it's my first attempt at messing with this stuff, huh...

I've uploaded a newer .pk3 in my first post with a more resource efficient version.

Looks better, it's less repetitive that way. Nice
