I combined this with some Hydro Plus code, got some flying particles and other objects to behave in a more watery fashion, with very little additional lag. I tried a whole load of sizes and speeds for the water to run at, the best settings I found was a size of twelve (bunker modules normally go in twelves) at 1.5 times the current speed, but I can tell that won't be the best for a lot of machines. I also altered the colour slightly so it didn't go purple inside a cave, and textured it so that it looked more watery. Lag isn't a problem for me. I can have 5 drop-ship's explode with 3 actors each with little slow down while running this mod. This mod is fun to use with alternative skirmish and moar friends.

Re: Dynamic water [Update 3]
I still can't see the water. It works, but it's invisible. Maybe it's because I'm using Brutality Mod?

Try pressing ctrl + o, or check your glow settings.

Re: Dynamic water [Update 3]
Maybe it's not a problem for you, but you are not the only player of CC.
This mod is meant for everyone, and many players have problems running CC due to different motives. You can configure it for yourself to have smaller particles.

It's not your computer that lags, it's CC that lags, so it shouldn't be that much of a difference across all computers that can run CC smoothly anyway. The only way to get this to go faster smaller is through code optimisation, and the code is pretty damn optimised as it is.

Re: Dynamic water [Update 3]
On an useful note, the water won't go through the bottom limit of the map, as seen here: Attachment:
ScreenDump001.bmp [ 1.37 MiB | Viewed 3421 times ]
Is that intended? Once I tried to drain the water from a skirmish, but the water didn't go out.
