TF2 water panel

Description
I have literally taken the bumpmap used for the water on TF2's 2fort map and made it as a panel for everyone.

Please be sure to read the stuff in the pictures above carefully as I don't want to keep directing people to read odd flaws in the model that I've already addressed thank you.

===================================Issues===================================

BUGS:
I know there's an apparent problem, not just with the TF2 water but also the heatwave and shield models too. I've mentioned about it in the comments that I can't fix it due to:

1. Lack of help.
2. The fact that I can't fix something that appears fine on my side as you can tell with the photos.
3. And that it's a problem I don't have any inside knowledge about.

If you know anyway to fix it I'm all ears to try it but I will need someone to tell me if it worked or not, instead of going quiet after saying you'll get back to me, because people keep doing that and I'm left wondering.
Judging by the comments however it seams this is only happening to certain people so it maybe somehow a problem on your end. So until someone can help us out all I can do is apologise.

===========================================================================

Huge thanks to Pte Jack for showing me how to work the refract effect.

If you follow me on the group I just started here: http://steamproxy.net/groups/SFMWSS

You can read more info on the group discussion posts I made to address group rules and address my capabilities with making items for SFM workshop.

List of types of items I'll cover in the workshop and my capabilities here:

After reading at least the sections to do with what you want to suggest there is a separate suggestion box in the discussions section post for you to drop your suggestions into.

Make suggestions (no porting requests) here:

It only appears in the viewport, which is odd. Whenever I export anything it shows up fine.

Whenever I place this thing down and look at it with DoF active it produces an odd multi-layer blur effect for everything "under" the surface of the water. Any idea what's causing this?

Happy to help. To this day I am still looking for an answer as to why the refract ain't working for others if it's anything on my end I will fix it.

Alright, I guess I have to learn more about refract. Thanks for the help

Unfortunately I don't know of any videos to do with refract so the only place I know of with any knowledge of refract is here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Refract .

I didn't really use that site for getting the refract to work. I only managed to achieve refract by looking at other models with the working refract effect and copy most of their codes over.

In the end the effects I've put on these models do work just for some reason it don't work for everyone I always suspect it's somehow a issue on their end that not everyone has.

But if you can't help with that it's fine, at least the first skiin works
Tarnished, a word. 28 Mar, 2023 @ 9:56am 
Ah, I see. Also do you have any videos how they work? (because I probably have basic problem with that water model which is absolutely black and not fixable water texture and video I need just for more info)

@Shapey
Don't worry it's perfectly normal. The first skin on the model has a basetexture but as all the other skins have a refract shader they don't need a basetexture.
Tarnished, a word. 28 Mar, 2023 @ 9:46am 
Uh, is it normal that in this "material" folder there's no basetexture attribute?

I am new to sfm, I am just trying to fix the 2fort water cuz for some reason 2fort water in SMF is cursed. And this is a bit confusing
