Okay. I'll work on that.

EDIT: Try this. Save it as liquids/toxicslime_coop_catapult_catch_static.vmt in your materials folder.

I just tried it with the numbers set to 0 instead of removing them, and my texture is also black.
Maybe some of those parameters can't be 0 because they are used as a divisor, or something like that.
IIRC the water shader is reasonably well documented on the wiki, so try looking there.

Thanks. I'll look into it tomorrow!

Edit:

I found something that might be useful?

$flow_timescale

Though I'm not sure how to get the clean water shader stuff myself, nor do I know where to put that if it would happen to work.

Unfortunately, there's still some motion left. (Changing $color_flow_timeintervalinseconds causes the texture patterns to shift, so it's better to leave that one alone.)

The textures themselves sometimes also contain animations. (I.e. blending between multiple frames.)
Maybe it helps if you replace those with non-animated versions.

And just what maps are those? I love time manipulation maps almost as much as time travel maps. I would love to play one of your time maps, Ben.

Awesome. Tried it and it looks nice. Thanks.

did you ever look at the scripts that came with portal 2?

I didn't. How do I get this script to work?

Never released. I was making Back-Stock maps with this mechanic, then felt it didn't fit the portal 2 universe, and started making a HL2 sourcemod where I hard-coded the effect, but I found that I didn't have time to work on that and the other Portal 2 mods I was doing. I think we will end up including time control as a mechanic in back-stock
