Changing liquid block height

[BrunoHP]

Where can I change liquid height? I can't find where are liquids defined in the code. I want to drop their height by 1px (1/16) because it's quite ugly when water is the same height as the shore.

it's quite ugly when water is the same height as the shore.

You can enable it using the following:



Enable the water waving shader

I have always felt the same about this. It would be nice to add a setting for this. (I would lower the liquid surface by 3 pixels, myself)
It is understood that the water/waving shader does this but, would be nice to be able to do without having the water actually waving. (or requiring turning a shader on)
But, this would require engine work, and not even sure if it is doable (but, since anything is considered to be "doable"), more importantly, what sort of issues could it cause down the line...

As far as i know in settings there are parameters which allow you to disable any waving and just have a downwards offset created by the waving water shader.
We actually had something called 'new style water' which was slightly lower, but it was removed by RealBadAngel because it has issues and the waving water shader can create the same effect.

I'll have to look again then, I don't recall seeing anything like that in advanced settings from the menu. Unless these are settings which need to be set via the config file?

just set the waving to zero. check for client-graphics and shaders... or water height

Thank you azekill, yes I found it last night after looking through again, (I had missed it before).
set water wave length & speed to 0, height can be left at 1.0.
I'm happy. I've got sunshine in a bag.

SO the menu tree for those who like this look for water

+client
+graphics
+in game
+shaders
+waving nodes
:waving water = enabled
:waving water height = 1.0
:waving water length = 0
:waving water speed = 0

[azekill_DIABLO]

:D de nada!

[kingoscargames]

:waving water = enabled
:waving water height = 1.0
:waving water length = 0
:waving water speed = 0

it doesnt work for me :/

do you have shaders on?

[kingoscargames]

do you have shaders on?

Yes, but when i change it to that all water and lava blocks become invisible. :(

[TumeniNodes]

? 0_o hmm, that is odd. Obviously there is some other setting or aspect causing this.

can you set everything to default settings and then try it? (including the default textures)
(make a list of your preferred settings before you go to default settings)

If it works after that, then going back and making your preferred settings changes, one by one, and testing with each new change will hopefully show you what is causing this.
Sure, it's a pita but..., that's troubleshooting 101 :P

Unless someone comes along who already knows what may be causing it, this is the method I would suggest.

Yup. I have the same problem and even fresh install of Minetest doesn't help.

[azekill_DIABLO]

try disabling wawing water?

[TumeniNodes]

if you're experiencing this issue, can you list which build you are using?
I am using 0.4.16 stable and have not had this problem

I am using 0.4.16 stable too.

It's difficult to know what the problem can be, without knowing what other settings, etc., might be associated.

If you set waving water length and speed back to default, and you enable shaders/waving water do you still have the same issues with water and lava going invisible? or is it only after setting length and speed to 0?

Best bet may be asking in #minetest or opening an issue about it

[kingoscargames]

or is it only after setting length and speed to 0?

Only after that.

[TumeniNodes]

Well, that gives a bit more to work with. It would be nice to know if this is the same for BrunoHP as well.

just list what you can, related to the basic setting in the main menu. Like, do you have opaque water on or off?
are you on Linux, Windows, Mac, Android?
Do you have any other shaders enabled?
The more info, the better. It is impossible to figure anything out when people simply say "It doesn't work for me"

[kingoscargames]

do you have opaque water on or off?

Off.

are you on Linux, Windows, Mac, Android?

Im using windows 10.

I'm going to open a thread for this in bugs and problems section.

edit: actually, this should be reported on Github. Can you open an issue there for this?
