GLSL Problems and Looking for a Water Texture

Game Engine Game Engine Support and Discussion
#1

OK, I have two questions.

  1. What would cause that when I am using GLSL textures that all my objects vanish into thin air when I press P?
    The normals are facing the correct direction, and it doesn’t happen in Multi-Texture mode.

  2. Does anyone know how I can make a texture for moving water in the GE? Does It have to do with Displacement and certain file extensions…?
    If not, what is a good alternative?

Thanks.

  1. There are Texture-face, Multi-texture and GLSL mode. Choose either 1. For bumps (water) use GLSL.

  2. You can try fading 2 procedural image on top of each other (eg: voronoi, marble, etc). Render it to a plane to get the image file.

if you click on the shameless plug mayhem put in and decide to use that script I created some water textures a looooong time ago (although with a normal map generator, or a sculpt-over would be required to get normal maps)

I believe they’re here http://s325.photobucket.com/albums/k398/kualitytextures/

just click the link in the left for animated textures (i even made some ripples :))

It’s because you trolled my post about macs. I had to complain somehow to you. And it appears it worked :slight_smile:

Different strokes for different folks.

#11

anyway guys to answer your question glsl mode needs a material applied to the object and add an image to the material

#12

I forgot to mention… I’m usin’ 2.53, not 2.54. Sorry.
Also, I do have a material for my stuff, but when I press P, it disappears, yet I can still see their collision bounds and whatnot.
I tried using you blend file, killer, but it wouldn’t work, so it needs to be 2.53…
Thanks for trying.

How are your textures mapped and what’s your lighting setup?

#14

http://www.yofrankie.org/tutorial-animated-normal-maps/
i can upload the animated map as well, but follow the tut anyway

#15

and considering that blender 2.55 is out why not use that?

#16

Just downloaded 2.55 and they fixed the animated normal maps :slight_smile:

#17

yes. i hope that helped

#18

OK, I will try 2.55…
But my lighting consists of a single Sun Lamp at an angle, and most objects have an emit of about .2.
Textures are mapped via UV, with an image texture that has UV coordinates.

#19

Wait, what blend file? Are you referring to the UV scroll script? If so make sure you’re downloading the right one. There’s a 2.54+ version and a pre 2.54 version. Make sure to download the pre 2.54 (it should work in 2.49)

I tried following the Yo Frankie tutorial, I made the normal map, but for some reason, It won’t displace the surface! What could I be doing wrong? (I followed the tutorial with 2.55)
Additionally, my plane disappears when I start the game engine!
I just don’t get it!
I also did download the pre-2.54 script. Is there anything I should know about using it other than just pressing ‘P’ to test it?
Do I have to enter any additional values?
