Source Water types

[MathieuCore2]

thumbs up if you like the dev_water5

[MrNoobtuber11]

THANK YOU SO MUCH ITS SO CONFUSING

[DuTchEr95]

water_canals03 and water_wasteland002a are the best in my opinion!

[7412369859]

@3kliksphilip Hi I have a question! You know in Half-Life 2, the toxic waste? Do you know what the texture for that is?

[8195mike]

i understand how the water fading out works,

but how do you get it to appear to go off into the horizon?

[Sasuke1745]

what is this program called? and what did u just do? o:

[psychochickendelivry]

@Sasuke1745 iits called source sdk and he is showing the different types of water. source sdk is a map making program for source games e.g halflife counterstrike sourcse tf2 ect

[Sasuke1745]

@psychochickendelivry Thank you.

[TheSwedishSvensken]

canals 03 looks pretty good

[Deatric66]

Thanks for this video, its annoying when I don't know what the water looks like.

[ReshiramTheArtist]

water_dx70 looks like liquid sand.

[MrAlihakan]

Now I'm really thirsty.

[816nnm]

@MrNaufan did you get it from steam?

[badxmax]

song please

[MrNaufan]

oh shit my css is erased because avg antivirus so shit shit shit shit shit shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

[Devicon]

The only way I can get my water to show up above the surface, is to Ctrl+T the water to a func_water_analog, but then the surface barely moves and doesn't splash when I shoot it.

I don't see any errors in my compile and I have zero leaks. The only thing in my compile I'm concerned with is "***need to set $abovewater for material (texture path)"

Pleease help me!!! My map has water and I want to get it right!

[thegrandmasteryoda]

What a handy video! Thanks! =)

[TheAxySnaker]

name of the music plase?

[Scaddadle1]

Does anyone know how I can adjust the fog of the water? My map involves submarines and ships and its really annoying that the water fog has such a limited range. Is there a function I can used to adjust this, or must more technical steps be taken? Thanks for any advice.

[clonedcube]

@Scaddadle1 Unfortunately, you probably would have to modify the VMT file of the water texture.

[Excusen]

One question .. how do i make the water endless like yours?

I mean so it carrys on.

Hope you understand :D

[tamere216]

@Excusen 3d skybox

[warnightify]

I have a question ... dev_water 2 seems like on no drawn on me :\ How i can fix it

[3kliksphilip]

@warnightify Probably a problem with your level, instead of the water. Do you have a leak? When you look through the compilelog (all the text that appears when you compile your map) does it say anything about portal overflow errors? (Pardon the pun)

[BoctorPoo]

canals03 and wasteland002a looked the best I think.

[Taareek12]

@BoctorPoo I was thinking the same :D

[MrNaufan]

Philip Because you i can fix my cs:s and creating map without any problems

thank you!

[3kliksphilip]

@MrNaufan Thanks!

[roky148]

water_dx70? ¬¬ looks like a shit

[3kliksphilip]

@roky148 Welcome to the year 2000

[halo22222q]

@3kliksphilip So you have seen some leaked hl2 maps Very nice :3

[3kliksphilip]

@halo22222q ...No I don't

[MrNaufan]

King Of Counter Strike! LOL!

[JVxTeeVee]

id hate to live on that island lol but good vid!

[903harman]

@JVxTeeVee trippen balls man!

[MrNaufan]

I Like this music and trantitions

[PWNBOII]

philip can you plz tell me why all my water gets dark green ingame?

[3kliksphilip]

@PWNBOII Which one did you use? Have you tried using another one? What if you changed the depth of the water / the texture on on the bottom?

[PWNBOII]

@3kliksphilip i tried the dev_water5/dev_water2 and i had like a pond with a displacement can that be the problem? and i had a displacement texture on the bottom!

[3kliksphilip]

@PWNBOII I don't think so, but the colour of the displacement is certainly capable of changing the colour of the water from certain angles. Did it look BAD? Or just... green?

[PWNBOII]

@3kliksphilip it did look bad it was like the dev_water2_cheap

[3kliksphilip]

@PWNBOII Ah that's why then.

[PWNBOII]

@3kliksphilip well i picked another texture and it looks fine now!

btw great vids man :)

[Banshee523]

I love your music, Philip.

[3kliksphilip]

@Banshee523 Thanks!

[MrNaufan]

@3kliksphilip I TOO

[3kliksphilip]

@MrNaufan Cool! Download them from my site if you like, they're all generic electronic things like this. Apart from Insomnia, which is a classical masterpiece.

[MrNaufan]

@3kliksphilip I Actually Have Programs Valve Hammer Editor 3.4 but its not complete entity no info_player_counterterorist, info_player_terorist and do not forget water_lod_control



[csmapper58]

@MrNaufan haaaaaahahahaha, in goldsrc there is no info_player_counterterrorist or info_player_terrorist. counter terrorists are info_player_start and terrorists are info_player_deathmatch. about the textures, cs 1.6 has crappy water and there couldn't be func_lod_control. hahaha, u made my day now...

[3kliksphilip]

@csmapper58 I'm pleased you know that :P

[MrNaufan]

Philip! Help Me! Help I Need Texture you use it and where you download valve hammer it! this. This very complete at all!

[L3G3nD0001]

I'm working on a team fortress 2 level map, and I still can't get ANY of those water texture display ingame. I have changed the object properties from func_detail to func_water and func_water_analog and NONE of them worked AT all! I'm serious frustrated at the moment that I can't get a simple water added to my level.

[3kliksphilip]

@L3G3nD0001 Why don't you try some of the water textures that come with TF2?

[L3G3nD0001]

@3kliksphilip I fixed the problem, there were a additional stupid env_light outside of the map. After I delete it, the water is fixed. >_<

[3kliksphilip]

@L3G3nD0001 Glad to hear you've fixed the problem. Also, isn't it interesting how everybody calls it env_light when it's actually light_environment?

[L3G3nD0001]

@3kliksphilip Yeah sorry, I liked to call it env_light, because it's short. Oh well couldn't hurt to say light_env.

[3kliksphilip]

@TwistedCyclonee They all do... and yet nothing does? Which game are you mapping for? Are you sure you're waiting for all of the props to load? If you type in tree, there should be a load of street signs that load up. Do they appear? If so, try scrolling down. The trees should be just below that.

[3kliksphilip]

@TwistedCyclonee That's strange. It really should be in there somewhere. Do all the other props in the game show up? What if you type 'oak' ?

[3kliksphilip]

@TwistedCyclonee Which model are you looking for? You deleted your original post.

[3kliksphilip]

@TwistedCyclonee Whatr's the nearest thing you have to prop_static that's on the list?

[TheJTKillers]

@TwistedCyclonee prop_static and find it in the list

[Blaze6108]

you forgot to add coast water types from Half-Life 2. They look pretty nice when making sea.

[Stupiiakzi]

i cant seem to make to make the water so you can see trough it, like on dev_water_5, ive searched alot and cant seem to find the answer

[3kliksphilip]

@Stupiiakzi It might be that your map has a leak or something, PM me the compilelog for your map (the text that appears when you try to compile). Make sure you name the private message something like 'water not see-through'

[TheRealDutchOwner]

DX 7 is too cheap. Even trough i like a better game story above graphics, they atleast could've colored it, this is just cheap.

[3kliksphilip]

@TheRealDutchOwner It's actually coloured depending on the nearest cubemap

[GuyRoller]

wich one is your favourite water type?

[3kliksphilip]

@GuyRoller I guess it depends on the circumstance. I like wasteland002a

[american237]

Thanks buddy! on the skybox I put the folder on the old counter-strike source and it worked!

[bloodline211]

you should do an extended version

[9911MU51C]

what do you need to make maps i already have HL2 and gmod but whats the editing software

[MayorBeeD]

@9911MU51C Its called "Hammer" you can find it in the SourceSDK which should be under tools in your Steam Library.

[bloodline211]

rly, nice ;)

[FrostbiteCinemaYT]

Thanks to this video, I found the Perfect water for my Flooded Cave. :D water_canals_city_murky

One more question, how would I get it so other people could play my Map? Because it doesn't let me Host my own Server. (Sadface.)

[3kliksphilip]

@FrostbiteCinemaYT Either you rent a server, or configure a dedicated server on your own pc (hard), or you upload the map to a large site like gamebanana, and they'll download and play it from there

[FrostbiteCinemaYT]

@3kliksphilip Thank you!

[FrostbiteCinemaYT]

How do I make water, though..?

[3kliksphilip]

@FrostbiteCinemaYT Watch my tutorial on how to make it, it's in the suggested videos for this video at the very top.

[FrostbiteCinemaYT]

@3kliksphilip Thanks. My current Project is a TF2 Map, and its a Flooded Cave. I just started it this week, and I am hoping to finish it within 3-6 months. There is going to be Metal Pathways above the Water, that people can go on. I am going for an Arena, you die, you loose. Also, I don't want Team Spawns, but I DO want Teams. I want all the Spawns to be Random. I'm not sure how to make Detailed Metal Paths, or make it Arena Mode. Anything helps. :) Again, thank you very much.

[3kliksphilip]

@FrostbiteCinemaYT Hi, not quite sure what you mean by not wanting team spawns but you do want teams. Couldn't you just place the spawn points for both teams randomly? What do you mean by 'Arena Mode'? And what do you mean by 'detailed metal paths'? How are they different to normal metal paths?

[Soulslayerzx]

Hey, I'm making a hugeass project(tf2 map). And I think this song really matches my map. Can I use it in the map and loop it in the bg. I tested it, and it loops really well.

[3kliksphilip]

@Soulslayerzx Yeah sure :)

[bloodline211]

what type of techno is this called?

[3kliksphilip]

@bloodline211 I don't know

[bloodline211]

@3kliksphilip well, i like it :)

[3kliksphilip]

@bloodline211 Thanks! The song's called That's Life. But I don't know what sort of techno it is.

[bloodline211]

@3kliksphilip do u know by who?

[3kliksphilip]

@bloodline211 Me :P

[Blaze6108]

yay, nice island! belive it or not, I just love small, pointless maps like this one!

[mrnicosable]

I don't understand why I always see the border of the water in my map when I''ve compile it. Can you help me?

[3kliksphilip]

@mrnicosable You mean, when it goes from the level to the 3D skybox? Are you SURE they're at the same height as each other? Same texture scale (relative to the scale of the 3D skybox) and that the textures are aligned? Try and find out what's causing it from the above suggestions. Perhaps the ground under the water is a different colour once you go beyond the confines of your level.

[SuperEmoBros]

dat dx70 water

[Dessierey]

How do I make it so that objects can have multiple textures as if grass is sprayed onto the grass (similair to the Sims games)? its been confusing me for a while :P

[3kliksphilip]

@Dessierey Type 'blend' in the texture browser, and you'll find textures with that ability. Then watch my tutorial on displacements.

[Dessierey]

@3kliksphilip I feel I have been talked to by a (tutorial) GOD :D

[Aidan303]

@PrincePhoenixThe1st all water textures are automatically swimable, to walk on water you need something like nodraw above in the water to prevent you from slipping through

[warnightify]

dx70 is horrible.

[SlingerMarshall]

that's one lonely crate...

[3kliksphilip]

@SlingerMarshall I gave it a friend :)

[SlingerMarshall]

@3kliksphilip lol stacking!

[Davidsh13]

Did you make the music?

link for mp3?

[3kliksphilip]

@Davidsh13 Yeah, you can access it in the 'music' section of my website.

[3kliksphilip]

@Davidsh13 Yeah, you can access it in the 'music' section of my website. And thanks!

[heliman5434]

@PrincePhoenixThe1st no if you just make a block with a water texture its water and it looks nice. just make sure you dont press Ctrl + T on it or you will give it a function. you can check its water fi you double click it and the water checkbox is ticked

[heliman5434]

@PrincePhoenixThe1st i had this problem make sure you havent made the water anything. ie. made it a func_detail

[3kliksphilip]

@PrincePhoenixThe1st I can't if you don't PM me the compilelog for your map.

[3kliksphilip]

@PrincePhoenixThe1st PM me the compilelog for your map. It might be a leak. Alternatively, upload the map's vmf file to the internet somewhere and I'll take a look. mediafire is a good place to upload it to secretly.

[Vcc2cc]

Nice work, although I would have liked just another second on each water type.

But what I'd really like is some old style water. It's too problematic to have to filter through 3 dozen water textures to make sure you have one that you can see through, then its something else to have to go into each one and check if the "fog" in the water allows you to see more than 5 feet in front of you. Valve needs fog-less water in source, and hopefully wave height control, even if just a little.

[3kliksphilip]

@Vcc2cc Try DX7 water types. Also known as 'cheap' in most cases.

[ChineseSweatShoppe]

@Vcc2cc it is called pause

[RafflarN]

@3kliksphilip i discovered the problem i had a skybox around the map from the middle, and i think some of the water was outside the map box.i did a new skybox that goes all around my map and now i can see the water :)

[RafflarN]

Need help, Whatever water texture i use i cant see the water only when im in i can see it from the inside. could it be leaks in the skybox? cus ive been using some displacements. and a wierd thing is one time when i started the map it was a skybox around the map,And i havnt even put on the roof of the skybox :S

[3kliksphilip]

@RafflarN Wait... you haven't got a roof on your skybox? Do you think that could be the cause of the leak? And you're not using a displacement to seal your map, are you? Oh and the water texture you're using shouldn't have 'beneath' in its name

[AverageGamerz]

I love water_dx70

[PipoRuizTV]

how can i add water reflection?

[3kliksphilip]

@PipoRuizTV Choose the right water texture and it will have reflections.

[AshleyLesnie]

A lot of thanks, I never thought that I'd found this!

[GiveMeBass93]

water_canals03 looks badass and what is the song? :D

[3kliksphilip]

@GiveMeBass93 That's Life

[GiveMeBass93]

Can anyone help me,

My map says there is no player starts when there is player starts? H.E.L.P D:

[3kliksphilip]

@GiveMeBass93 Either you have no spawn points, or they're touching something solid and therefore don't work

[GiveMeBass93]

@3kliksphilip They are there, and I raised them of the ground and it still opens CSS but just goes to menu.

[duodot]

@GiveMeBass93

Tick the little box at the bottom of the compile-settings window (when you press F9) which says; "Don't run the game after compiling". Making Hammer initialize the game load is buggy, and should be avoided.

Hope this helps.

[NadTheBat]

DX7 water is uuugggggglllllyyyyyy.

[chap1400]

How do u get the water to continue through the skybox? mine just gets to the edge of the map and stops

[3kliksphilip]

@chap1400 3D skybox

[chap1400]

This video is so awesome dude, i keep coming back to it just so i dont have to compile everytime =) THANKS! big help!

[therealzein]

omg...THIS IS SOOO HELPFUL!

THANK YOU!

[Sazeik]

I was thinking.. is there any way to put some kind of "Blue fog" under the water texture? I've tried with env_fog.... but, I can't select the heigh of that fog.

Do you know any way?

PS: Sorry for being that n00b U.u. What I would like to do, it's something similar to that cstrike -planet .com/maps ? img = 11591 (without spaces ofc)

Thanks a lot.. really :P

[3kliksphilip]

@Sazeik 1) how deep is that water? 2) custom texture possibly?

[Sazeik]

@3kliksphilip It's not too deep. I've found that it's a custom texture. Im gonna try to do some similar. I hope to compress good custom textures, last time I did that, my server crashes when I put the map xD.

Thanks a lot for all

and sorry for any inconvenience =)

[G3org3Master]

@Sazeik trigger texture tied to func_smokevolume , change the colour, put the block below the water where you want it. It is expensive to render.

[Sazeik]

"Nodraw"* I meant.. instead of trigger, sorry!

[Sazeik]

I have a question.. When i put a brush on my map with "Trigger" texture and , for example "water_canals03" on the up side. I add a env_cubemap and "pick" to that brush.. thats ok, but, in the game.. I see the water transparent, not like in your video...

:S Do you know why? thanks

PS: Nice video :)

[3kliksphilip]

@Sazeik Isn't water being transparent a good thing? Do you mean it's totally invisible? It also depends on the angle you're looking at it from. canals03 is translucent to a certain degree.

[Sazeik]

@3kliksphilip Hmm.. Yes it is, but for example, look at this screenshot: img816.imageshack.us/i/desiert­o0006.jpg

I'd like to see more blue/green or some dirty water textures, Do u know what I mean?

Thanks a lot!

[3kliksphilip]

@Sazeik Well, it's not got much blue or green to reflect in that picture...

[Sazeik]

@3kliksphilip Hmm ok, I hadn't understood the "reflect" at SDK Source so.. I thought it was like UDK or something, where u can specify the reflect in the material.

Thanks a lot ^^

Good luck

[Sw3nssoN]

can u make a tutorial how to open maps like de_dust2 in sdk so you can edit em?

[3kliksphilip]

@Sw3nssoN Watch my tutorial on decompiling maps

[UWCcyberwolf]

i need help, all my water textures dont appear right. they appear as the blur you see if you look outside the map how do you fix this?

[3kliksphilip]

@UWCcyberwolf Do you have a leak in your map? Tools, Load Pointfile, see if a red line appears. If so, follow the line and it will show you how stuff in your level is able to escape into the blackness surrounding it

[bushai1]

Umm i have checked everywere but i cant find a tutorial on how to make a arch way... plz help me i need to know soon so i can finish my map!!!

[ManInBones01]

@bushai1

Seeing as this is a video about water, you've come to the right place!...

You just have to make a brush, and cut it. A LOT.

[ManInBones01]

@bushai1

OR, you can select the arch shape from the brush tool options box on the right side of the screen.

[goldspike4]

thank u

[funnymarioman]

fuck me im a noob lloll

[Tatefail]

Thanks a lot. Found this very helpful. :)

[jomibrad]

Thanks Philip, I have always had trouble finding the right texture, nice to see someone took their time to compile all of them lol, gj.

[Hiukuss]

Im making a HL2:DM map

Im trying to find that water that looks all radioactive and murky etc..

I cant find it

What would it be called?

Zombies usually come out of the water in HL2

It wasn't on this video

What would i use to make that type of water?

Would it be an effect texture 'Cause i dont know

[3kliksphilip]

@Hiukuss Search for 'toxic'

[Hiukuss]

@3kliksphilip Thank you :D

[Zero2562130]

@3kliksphilip Hey, I'm having a problem with this map I'm working on. The brushes on the water reflect fine, but the models are nowhere to be seen on the water. Any idea on how to fix this?

[3kliksphilip]

@Zero2562130 Go into your game properties, video, advanced, and set water to reflect everything

[Tman545380]

how do you make terrain so it is real terrail and not a cube

[3kliksphilip]

@Tman545380 Look up my tutorial on displacements

[mindexas16]

Can You make a video haw to add textures to hammer? and wha need to add?

[MigElskeWOW]

how did you make the map?

i mean how did you make the sand like that

[jomibrad]

@MigElskeWOW Like the way it's shaped? Well if it's that it's called Paint geometry, you can find it by going to face edit sheet, that block with the blue green and red, then go to displacement, once you have done that I asum that you have selected a block, you now goto create, choose your desired setinings, and then goto paint geometry. Please tell me that was your problem...

[MigElskeWOW]

@jomibrad It was, Thanks

[jomibrad]

@MigElskeWOW :D

[parker56]

I got a question. I'm building a map, a dock, where I got my water and want it to go to "into the infinity" in the skybox. However, the skybox doesn't have any water. The water i'm using is dev_water4. How do I make it do that?

[3kliksphilip]

@parker56 You'll have to master the art of making a 3D skybox. It's kind of hard to explain, so I'll just PM you a link to one I made earlier.

[ensenhest]

@3kliksphilip May i also partake in this so called "link"? Thank You in advance.

[TheMiniman542]

please upload this map xDD

[Darkbuilderx]

... all of the water i try to use in TF2 turns invisible from the top
