I'm very short on time, so i can only post a little vidclip about actual progess, its mainly the new finalized universal boat script and the new binocular, which is now a weapon. janzu did there a great job with animations, unfortunately the melee anims are not coded yet (you can use binocular at close distance as melee weapon) and i have had no time to wait for his nice fidget animations, will post next days a new video about. it was extrem hard to implement binocular as weapon, cryengine was not really designed to handled it that way, but its much better for immersion. i also created a new hud for bino active and designed the zoomwheel with some fake animated zoomviewnumbers, which was very hard.
the universal boat script (which was open since 2 years-.-) have some editor advanced things for leveldesigner, but also for players: some crossfading soundroutines for engine on/off (gives real nice smoth sounds without interruption), some new waterpitch effects and cam underwater detections and effects plus some first person driver view and passanger slots. also i finally have created good looking metal shader so the boat looks not like plastic anymore. also the water particle effects are now scaled with engine boatspeed, so the boat does not kill anymore the FPS if you stop after high speed the boat and the particles was drawn countles on same position, this is now fixed and the boat works also in havy load (the video have sometimes 2.7 millions polys on screen (with realtime shadow) and i can drive smoth around).
Looks good but I don't think that water color fits very well with the land, it's like desert with tropical water. Though I think you said that you haven't done any water color modifiers yet.
i have worked some hours today on it and its not so easy to recode waterschader, its pure hell. its not like changing rgb float values somewhere in a script -.- i have inserted color for the shader and if i now have grey water (instead of blue), the white cloudreflection is now red. i dont think that i invest further time in it, i think modders can later work further on that map and devkid.
btw this is the actual and last state: Reflex-studio.com
Janzu have created a great animations and that boat looks much better now!
yeah i second that :)
