Animated Water

Overview

Animated Water brings Daggerfall’s world water to life with scrolling UV animation, procedural normal waves, and optional vertex displacement.

Features

• []Scrolling water texture with configurable speed[/]

  []Sine-wave UV distortion for a fluid, rippling surface[/]

  []Procedural animated normal map for dynamic lighting on water[/]

  []Optional vertex displacement waves (experimental, off by default)[/]

  []Choppy animation mode: 4 steps (Smooth / 12fps / 6fps / 3fps) for fragment and vertex effects separately, for a retro feel[/]

  []All settings adjustable in-game via Mod Settings[/]

  Installation

  Manual

  • []Copy the .dfmod file into Daggerfall\StreamingAssets\Mods[/]

    Mod Manager

    • []Vortex can be used for automatic installation[/]

      Configuration

      All settings are available in the in-game Mod Settings menu. Can be changed while playing, too.

      Water

      • []ScrollSpeedX / ScrollSpeedY: How fast the water flows horizontally and vertically[/]

        []WaveAmplitude: How much the water surface distorts and ripples[/]

        []WaveFrequency: How tight the ripple pattern is[/]

        []NormalStrength: How pronounced the light reflections on the water look[/]

        []NormalScale: Size of the reflection pattern (higher = smaller, more detailed)[/]

        []NormalSpeed: How fast the reflections animate[/]

        []FragChoppiness: Makes the water animation choppy for a retro feel. 0 = smooth, higher = choppier. Try 2.[/]

        []NormalPixelate: Makes the water shine more pixelated. 0 = smooth, higher = coarser blocks. Try 2 or 3 for a retro Daggerfall feel.[/]

        Waves (Advanced / Experimental)

        []VertWaveHeight: How high the water surface rises and falls. Try 0. 3.[/]

        []VertWaveFreq: How large the waves are (lower = bigger waves). Try 0. 2.[/]

        []VertWaveSpeed:How fast the waves move[/]

        []VertChoppiness: Makes the wave movement choppy for a retro feel. 0 = smooth, higher = choppier. I recommend to set it same as FragChoppiness.[/]

        [*]HighDetailTerrain: This will force Unity to alway show the highest details on the Terrain. This will improve the 3D waves and is NEEDED, when you activate Come Sail Away and Animated Water compat. Otherwise your ship/boat will float in mid air
