WaterType Dialog

ID: Editor ID for the water type.
Causes n damage per second: Checkbox to activate water damage where n is the number of health points lost per second while in this water type. (Not used. Use the Spell effect drop box instead.)
Name: Display name for the liquid.
Spell effect: Editor ID for the Spell (if applicable). The 'Spell effects' are located in the Object window under Game Effects -> Actor Effects.
Unlabeled dropdown list: Changes what is displayed in the first preview window.
2nd unlabeled dropdown list: Changes what is displayed in the second preview window.

Noise Generator Tab

Sliders to effect the normals on the water surface. The seven provided sliders alter the noise waves in different ways to produce different noise-maps.

Texture Select: Drop down at the top of the page to select which layer of noise you want to modify the properties on.
Noise Type: Selects which noise function is to be used (Perlin, Fractal/fractional Brownian Motion, or Ridged Multifractal/Multifractional.
X Frequency:
Y Frequency:
Octaves:
Amplitude:
Lacunarity:
Bias:
Gain:
Random Seed: A number used with the Generate button to create different noise-maps.
Generate: Used to create the noise texture for that layer.
Export: Used to save out the noise-map to a .dds texture file.

Noise Properties Tab

Sliders for modifying noise properties.

Texture Select: Drop down at the top of the page to select which layer of noise you want to modify the properties on.
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Amplitude Scale:
UV Scale:
Noise Scale: Determines how exaggerated the normals will be.
Depth Falloff Start: Where the alpha fadeoff begins (used for edges of the water, to blend it smoothly with the land).
Depth Falloff End: Where the alpha fadeoff ends.
Select Noise: Noise texture filename (.dds). Click Select Noise to browse for the texture.

Fog Properties Tab

Sliders for modifying fog properties.

Unlabeled dropdown list:
Fog Amount:
Fog Distance - Near Plane:
Fog Distance - Far Plane:
