Im making a custom Water material, works fine but i the line between Water and the grass (in this case) just looks bad. I tried several Fog and waterblendfactor variables, but it just looks bad:

I saw that picture of Damagepys (not actual) map:

How do i get a smoothly fade between land and water? or should i use another variable for that?

"$refracttexture" "_rt_WaterRefraction"

You can still keep this parameter as well:

"$reflecttexture" "_rt_WaterReflection"

And you can modulate and play with refraction with these other parameters:

"$refractamount" "0.75" (the refraction amount)
"$refracttint" "[.6 .58 .55]" (the colour that the refraction will have)

(Change the values to your liking...)

I bet your approach is to use the parameter $pseudotranslucent 1 altogether with the $waterblendfactor. I think that if you use refracting water material instead, you won't need those

Of course you need to set your graphics settings to maximum.
Second is: He used displacements there. Probably they'll provide a more smooth look since they have irregular shapes and so you can't see a clear and perfect line.

My settings are at maximum :s
But that with the displacements sounds good ^^

Hm, okay i will try that with refracting ^^

Heres the code now of this "bloody" water:
Code

And my console is "Now" spaming: "No such variable "$fogenable" for material "tt/tt_water"
T"

Also, can you post your beneath/bottom material as well? and you could post an actual code instead of an image >.< Are you afraid that anyone can steal it? if so, send me a pm, if you feel you can trust me

Hmmm... have you got any warning message when compiling?

No :s

I have the standard toxicslime_002_beneath, i work with that when i finished the abovewater, ^^

I did now ^^

EDIT: Now finally got it work together with jose, if someone has the same problem, ask Josepezdj or me, ^^

- $fogcolor
- $reflecttint
- $refracttint

should ALWAYS be into quotes. Those parameters themselves are not needed between quotes though, but the numbers should have them. If not, the engine take them as other values for different parameters, and maybe that bloody texture is the result of leaving the "$refracttint" parameter without a defined value... So:

$fogcolor "{ 58 35 20 }" IS CORRECT
"$fogcolor" "{ 58 35 20 }" IS CORRECT
$fogcolor { 58 35 20 } IS NOT CORRECT
