If anyone has noticed SWBF2 water sort of moves back and forth along the edges like expands and contracts is there a way to stop this or minimize it at least or is this a hardcoded issue. I'm assuming it's hardcoded since I haven't seen any reference to it in the .fx or any files dealing with water

you might be able to do it if it was hard up against another object and the height was vertical......
but what do i know, i'm a newby here

It's been a really long time since I've dealt with water, but check the following in the water section of your fx file:

Velocity(0.00,0.00);
OscillationEnable(0);

is that in the BF1 water .fx cause I haven't seen any in BF2 water andi guess i'll try that function out

That's from the BF2 /assets/worlds folders. All I did was change the values to 0

thanks tean it worked quite nicely this can be locked

Always a pleasure.
