Just wondering, I've seen cave flier games with decent water that consisted of blue particles, and back then, it blew my mind.
So I was wondering if it'd be possible to make water like that in CC since there is a new build out.
Not like Tim's waterfall particles, but think of it like a ball sea, where you used to play as a kid. It wouldn't really be like water, but more like gelatin where you could actually maneuvre the actors. Replacing terrain in a way, so that it wouldn't fall through the floor if it was broken. Or a water tank with water inside, if you shot it, it would pee.

Thoughts, anyone?

Tried and failed many times before. We can only hope.

Well considering the godliness unleashed by the IRC scene, water may be possible.

Using micro emitters or maybe even LUA just make the 'Water' particles continuously bounce off one another so that when something falls into it it will form pockets in and allow it to sink in.

This may or may not be possible after looking at my own limited knowledge of CC mods and no knowledge of LUA

Try this. Upconvert Cricket's old plasma circular digger weapon and dig through solid dirt for about two realtime seconds at 1.00x timescale. You won't be at 1.00 for very long. Lag will kill any serious attempt at modestly sized areas of dynamic water based on particles. The one way I can maybe see water working is using Lua to make area water and altering the area when holes are made under it. Even that might be too laggy.

As far as i can see (no offense intended here) but the IRC has nothing to do with water :/ And having water particles continually bouncing off each other would tie your framerate to a chair and beat it to death with a golf club.

Did you ever try Zalo's water demo?
It doesn't consist of pixels, but the blue area is basically water. Just no splishy splashy.

Not to mention that if water is officially in, we might make swim paths.

Well, it's a blue high-drag area.

It would need a decent buoyancy system for me to really see it as being water. And that would require measurements of density, and that would require measurements of volume, which I'm guessing is currently impossible. Unless you can count the atoms in an atomgroup. I wouldn't know, I haven't tinkered around with lua much.

what about a water tank, that when you shoot it, blue particles spray out for a small time. you can make a spawner or something.

Check LordTim's waterfall level. It has water tanks like you describe.

Aww I us too wove that plac, but i can never find it anymore.

zeno, that took 5 conscious re-readings for me to comprehend.
a water tank that leaks when you shoot it. wow, that sounds like any woundable mass with wounds that shoot water.
real water that changes with holes in the ground would lag like a fat ladylike. it might be possible to do static areas with buoyancy and drag and all that, and even have a small area on top that makes a splash in accordance with how fast you're going, but anything more that isnt hardcoded and optimised to crap is going to lag. it could be possible if data makes water bodies (and i dont see why he would, but he might) as a part of the game and excludes aspects of them from the rest of the sim, but doing it with our current resources is nigh impossible.

But on topic-like, who ever said that you had to have pixels in all of the water all of the time?

Think about that.

idea! what if every drop of water was a slightly boucy emitter that had a lifetime only long enough to emit another drop to take its place therfore they wouldn't settle or be absorped by the ground. they'd constantly be bouncing small distances off of each other, making little waves.

have you any idea how much that would lag?

True...
But Wat If We Enabled CC To Use Hardware To Give It A Boost...
Depending Wat Ur Packin' You Could Potentially Reduce The Lag
