Water Plane color not right

[ELI]

I have some sections in my map that have several water planes. I have copied the water.con file form Wake Island and the water folder to get my sea water to look like this:




But the water planes don't look anything like that, here they are:




I have run lightmaps trace and primary....no luck. :hmm:


Any suggestions?

Re: Water Plane color not right

i think you missed a part by draging in the default envmaps and making a new folder called Water.

- Load your map in the map editor
- Under the Level Editor, from the Resource window drag the file “DefaultEnvMap” under the directory bf2\content\objects\common\, and drop it to your map
- Click Compile/Envmaps/Generate Envmaps from the top menu bar - Save all
- Now you should see the file EnvMap0.dds under your level directory: mods\bf2\Levels\Your_Level\Envmaps\
- Copy the file to this directory: mods\bf2\Levels\Your_Level\Water\, then rename the file from EnvMap0.dds to EnvMap.dds
Then you should have all water settings from the other map.

No Dice......no pun intended. So how do I select each plane and run a lightmap for it only?

Re: Water Plane color not right

OK...got it!! I needed to dl and install the object lightmap samples from the EA site. Did that and ran lightmaps on all objects at low res. to test it. Now my water planes look like the sea water.
