Well like the name of this topic says: Is it possible to stop the animations of water? Because in my map is frozen water and it looks wierd... you can run over ice and its moving >.<

water properties:
Code: Select all
Effect("Water")
{
// general parameters
Tile(4.0,4.0);
MainTexture("kam1_water_2");
FoamTexture("kam1_water");
FoamTile(5.0,5.0);
// ocean parameters
OceanEnable(1);
WindDirection(0.2,1.0);
WindSpeed(25.0);
// water event parameters
WaterRingColor(148, 170, 192,255);
WaterWakeColor(192, 192, 192,255);
WaterSplashColor((192, 192, 192,255);
i dont think so, its a matter of the engine
why someone use water, that isnt animated?

If you want to stop the waves in the water, you have to change these values to 0
Code: Select all
// ocean parameters
OceanEnable(1);
WindDirection(0.2,1.0);
WindSpeed(25.0);
If you want to stop the little wave effect that comes out when a vehicle or a unit walks through the water, you have to edit that in the unit's ODF.
This is taken from the UTAT ODF.
Code: Select all
WaterEffect = "com_sfx_waterwake_lg"
Cancel that line and it will go away. I didn't see any such lines in the unit ODF though so I am guessing it may be hardcoded.
The best alternative is to just leave it as normal terrain and use an ice texture.

It's not hardcoded for units either, it's just in the class parent .odfs (I think com_inf_default).

cool thanks trainmaster 
Btw i put an invisible collision area over the whole water :p so no problem with units in it

What does the u vel and v vel values in zeroeditor do exactly?
Ace says they modify the waves, but what would happen if you increased or decreased the value?

Well I would think one value controls wavelength and the other one controls amplitude (waveheight).
I think the value I told Pinguin to change controls the frequency.
