Although, these are not exactly duplicates of the swim-pool surface tiles, but at least they do function.



But, I need to see how stable they work under different game versions...
Welcome to report... Thanks...

Settings for Pool-surface-tiles:
---[the basic properties]---
1. txmt type = PoolWaterSurfaceMaterial
2. txmt properties:
2a. stdMatCullMode = none
2b. stdMatFillMode = solid
2c. stdMatLightingEnabled = false (true \ false)
---[the textural properties]---
2d. wmReflectionTexture = reflectionoutdoorwater-envcube (or other envcube textures)
2e. wmRefractionTexture = reflectionoutdoorwater-envcube (or other envcube textures) ***(there was a typo for the "refraction", I apologise for that.)***
---[the wavy properties settings]---
2f. wmRefractionEnabled = true (true \ false)
2g. wmTransparency = # (# = 0.000 - 1 , from my limited experiences so far) [eg1 = 0.5]
2h. wmXRepeat = # (# = 0.000 - 100) [eg1 = 12]
2i. wmXSpeed = # (# = 0.000 - 100) [eg1 = 4]
2j. wmXWaveHeight = # (# = 0.000 - 100) [eg1 = 0.1]
2k. wmYRepeat = # (# = 0.000 - 100) [eg1 = 11]
2l. wmYSpeed = # (# = 0.000 - 100) [eg1 = 3]
2m. wmYWaveHeight = # (# = 0.000 - 100) [eg1 = 0.15]

Yeah, there're several settings to add or change at once... for the present model which is regarded as the basic model. Certainly, the one in the complex swim-pool tool is much more complicated.
Yet, using different parameters can result in expected various wavy patterns. So, feel free to make up your own easily...

(Reminder : I may edit this post later again for info update...)


About the attachments:
1. The tile attachment is just for study, these files are by no means regarded as finished products.
2. The movie attachment is for demonstration only.
3. the rtf attachemnt is "Pool Water" (although I'd had posted it along with others in other posts, it's handy to have a copy here as well.)
