I know that. I'm talking about literally raising the real water by map modding.
It probably would be, but we are not really sure we havent been able to do it in halo 3

haven't tried*

but uh didn't someone manage to find the wave parameters for the water?
or am i just crazy/it has nothing to do with this?

I'm pretty sure they did did because i remember Veegie posting pics of th altered waves, but i thought he said he edited the wave.dll file on halo 3 disk using a Dev kit. But yes peoples did manage to find and figured out how to manipulate the various wave parameters.

that dll is to the Waves runtime, which is a audio related SDK

No no, i know what that dll is. but I remember someone posting a picture of
valhalla's water much more volatile and orange i think?

Based on his lack of specification, probably one that won't be posted due to our rules.

wait hold on a second please. Are you saying that wave modifications can be done within the gametype variant?

latinomodder · Post by **latinomodder** » Sun Nov 16, 2008 7:28 pm

he was refereeing to the increased water level mod and no it can't be gametype modded

CompKronos · Post by **CompKronos** » Sun Nov 16, 2008 10:00 pm

yea i thought he was asking how to edit the waves because i remember veegie posting edited waves on last resort a while ago. and yeah i know that the water level height map is a usermap mod

Veegie · Post by **Veegie** » Sun Nov 16, 2008 10:44 pm

That was a .rmw edit.

It's not a usermap mod.. All people in usermap mods do is spawn another sky, which a plane of fake water is linked to.

.rmw is the real shit.

i understood that was the "real shit" but what is a .rmw edit? or is that a little to much to ask[/quote]

Its a tag in the halo 3 map file that controls water properties.

How come the currently released rmw plugin doesn't have any named values? No wave height or anything of the sort.

Most the stuff for color, tiling, wave mesh is all in one tag block and there all under the same 3 values, there all different functions in different chunks.
