Use this as the basis:
- Get a lava texture, whether from the assets or internet
- Go to your ***.fx
- Make this your water part of your fx:
Effect("Water")
{
// general parameters
PatchDivisions(8,8);
Tile(2.0,2.0);
// ocean parameters
OceanEnable(0);
// water event parameters
WaterRingColor(228, 155, 15,255);
WaterWakeColor(228, 155, 15,255);
WaterSplashColor((228, 155, 15,255);
DisableLowRes();
// PS2 parameters
PS2()
{
Velocity(0.0,0.0);
LODDecimation(8);
MainTexture("mus1_main_4.tga");
MinDiffuseColor(32, 40, 32, 255);
MaxDiffuseColor(128, 130, 128, 255);
BorderDiffuseColor(160, 160, 160, 255);
//SpecularColor(192, 192, 192, 192);
//SpeckleSpecularColor(160, 160, 160, 255);
//SpeckleAmbientColor(0, 0, 0, 255);
//SpeckleTextures("water_specularmask_",25, 2.0);
//SpeckleTile(4.0, 4.0);
//SpeckleScrollSpeed(0.0,0.0);
//SpeckleCoordShift(10.0,10.0);
LightAzimAndElev(1.0,0.0);
}
// PC parameters
PC()
{
Tile(1.0,1.0);
Velocity(0.01,0.02);
MainTexture("lava.tga");
LODDecimation(1);
RefractionColor(160, 100, 0, 255);
ReflectionColor(204,51,51,255);
UnderwaterColor(204, 85, 0, 200);
FresnelMinMax(0.2,0.7)
NormalMapTextures("water_normalmap_",16,8.0);
//BumpMapTextures("water_bumpmap_",16,8.0);
//SpecularMaskTextures("water_specularmask_",25, 2.0);
//SpecularMaskTile(4.0,4.0);
//SpecularMaskScrollSpeed(0.0,0.0);
}
// XBOX parameters
XBOX()
{
Velocity(0.01,0.002);
LODDecimation(1);
RefractionColor(128, 130, 128, 64);
ReflectionColor(150,150,150,150);
UnderwaterColor(128, 130, 128, 64);
FresnelMinMax(0.2,0.7)
NormalMapTextures("water_normalmap_",16,8.0);
}
}
- Substitute lava.tga to whatever your lava texture is called.
- Put your lava texture in your effects and world1 folder.
- Munge and it should work if you set up your water correctly.

um...that would affect all water on your map, right?
so from now on if you tried to place water in that map, it would appear as water, i'm assuming?

Well, I believe so.
I don't think there's any other way of doing it.
However, if there is, that would be cool.

sorry, i meant:

if that is true, than that stinks, cause i had a map in mind with both lava and water...does anybody know if that's possible?

If I remember right the Mustafar lava is an animated model.

Also there was an unused tile .odf for lava somewhere, someone posted it along time ago.

I don't know why so many people get hung up on lava. It's just differently-colored water. You put it in just like normal water. If you don't want to have to deal with:
a) It only showing the texture on low settings (like all water does anyway), or
b) It affecting all the water on your map,
then just reskin a flat object with lava textures (mus_main_3 is the Mustafar lava texture, I think) and place like any other object.

All you have to do for them to be able to do that is to give it no collision.

oh...i didn't know you could do that
how do you give an ODF no collision?

In a msh.option file enter this:
-nocollision
If there is no msh.option file for the mesh you're using, then create one.

does it matter where in the file you put it?

It does, can't put it in the middle of another word, must have a space before it if theres something else in front

lol...
in general is this true with all ODFs? like if theres a line you want to add like "WeaponShareAmmo" for instance does it matter where you put it?
