Waterfalls

[Vanilla]

How would you recomend I make a waterfall? Should I use the polygons, or make a custom object? Any other ways to do it?

[Bgretydews]

Just use a waterfall scenery? :s

[Keron Cyst]

Yea, PapaSurf and The Geologist used waterfall sceneries in one of their maps.

Chakapoko maker was really ingenious in his inf_Meatball and used a bunch of aqua-tinged, stretched, semi-transparent camonet.BMPs...

Ok, thanks. I got my water fall! It doesn't move... but hay!

[Bgretydews]

You cant make things move in soldat.

The next version should use bothe Bitmap and GIF so that I can make a moving waterfall.

[Bgretydews]

I don't think that would happen >_< Everyone would make gay maps with gay Gif's >_<

ya know that scenery file amb_cloud.png or something liek that, you could scale/stretch it to make like water coming down

[Keron Cyst]

What map uses amb_cloud.png? I've never gotten that.

[Wraithlike]

Keron, the full name is "amb_cloud1-sk" I know it's in a few of my maps, and Ithink it's been in some of vig's and some others.

You cant make things move in soldat.
but you can give that appearance. like animated fire. take the tall grass scenery, squish in horizontally to like 1/5 of its width and maybe 1.5/1 of its height, color it red, suplicate it, make the new one yellow, move it close to the red one so much of it overlaps, test it ingame, and it'll look like its moving really fast, but animated none the less. (check out ctf_Provance by VirtualTT to see what I mean)

I don't think that would happen >_< Everyone would make gay maps with gay Gif's >_<

lol, but only gay people would download and play them, lol, so they would probably fail... I dunno... whatever... OOH A SQUIRREL!

[Vanilla]

People would be making gay things now.

Also you can use some waterfall textures and make realistic waterfall just by multitexturing. Here are some examples:

If anything other than the gosteks moved in soldat I think it would look pretty stupid, also would be to distracting to.

Grass waving lightly in breezes, flickering lights... maybe even a transparent soldat battle scene in the background for more chaos on WWII maps Plenty of reasons to have .GIF-scenery!
