Moi's TS2 Terrain Water Mod Series (1 - 4) (All TS2 versions)
Note: sorry, for those new variant versions released between 29-06-2009 and 08-07-2009, I mistakenly put wrong versions. After all, I've added something afterwards to try to see if that improve the neighbourhood view.
Intro:
1. They are to provide different graphical appearances and colorations of the terrain water in lots (lake/pond/etc normally we call.) in TS2.
2. They are not to enable sims to swim in the terrain pond water.
To do that,
2a. may read here or
2b. try nina's way (swimming @ the lot skirt water layer!) here, or
2c. try patul's version here
3. There are 4 series so far.
4. Please do report with screenshot packed in zip or rar, thanks...

1. EP0 = TS2, the base game 2. Various graphical outcomes and performances rely on the interaction between PC hardwares (esp. video card support on versions of Dx, PS and VS) and the game versions. Thus, varied feedbacks with video specs., game versions and screenshots as attached rar or zip are highly welcome. 3. Addition of a swim-pool block in the same lot in the same screen scope can cause changes in the terrain water when the game version is EP5 or newer EP or SP, as depicted posts 22 and 24 . This is normal and expected coz the swim-pool can activate certain pool surface effects. For those who want the activation effect, just build at least a block of swim-pool somewhere in the lot. For those who don't want that activation effect, avoid a swim-pool block on the lot. Note this wavy effect is borrowed from the swim-pool and a swim-pool product apparently have some activating effects on pool-related products... :D 4. My video card is not the latest high-end video card, so I've no pool mirror reflection in my game, so I can't know what it's like for EP5 users with latest high-end video cards. So, feedbacks on that possibility is highly welcome. Thanks in advance 5. This is an attempt to run swim-pool wavy surface on the terrain water surface. So, a wavy surface is expected. Please report if that's not the case. FYI, some video cards may be too old to render the HSLS wavy surface. 6. So, I've made 7 reserved posts for future additions. |

1. These series of mods have altered terrain shaders, so similar terrain shader mods like Targa's pond mods cannot work with them. 2. Any pool shader mod of the pool surface which will affect the look of the terrain water will also affect "Moi_matShad_Terrain_Water_Wavy001" compatibly. The other variants of these series won't be affected by any pool shader mod. 2a. eg: "RC1 Gunmod's pool shader mod" included in Chocolate Pi 's Gunmod's Radiance Light System 2.2 BETA is to unleash a revised version of the unfinished "Maxis EP2-NL Hi-end pool surface" with custom-chosen in-game graphics (by Gunmod and/or Chocolate Pi). So, PCs without compatible video card can't properly show this pool surface. This has been mistaken as an EP issue while later on found out it's actually hardware compatibility issue. When "Moi_matShad_Terrain_Water_Wavy001" is used with Gunmod/Chocolate Pi's pool mod, the terrain pond water will pick up the same modded pool surface (by Gunmod and/or Chocolate Pi). Thus in this case, Gunmod and/or Chocolate Pi's pool mod is compatible with "Moi_matShad_Terrain_Water_Wavy001" as a plus variant. |

Known Exceptions:
1. things I made for a group project: the redistribution policy will then depends on the group itself.
2. mods I made are mostly in testing, I'd like to have users know where to report any problem, usage or else if any. Yet, people are welcome to study them and make out their own. A reference back is a nice act but not a must.

My sigz:
Let loose of your loads before U go. Fly & think free. Wind the rain in the sky, and I'll find & see you later. The scenes, the sounds, the touches, the feels, the senses were recorded. Wanna replay?
lol, see what you see :P .
