[WIP] Ground texture mod

[philip.ed]

I disagree about the sea. It should be murkier around the coast-line, and more blue/black/dark as it gets deeper...

FAIL ! got the animations of the seascape but cant find anything else. and i like blue sea anyway, seriously it wouldnt look right any other colour other than more grey. it also exists everywhere (under terrain) so maybe its hard coded. not sure.

Hmm, I recall this picture:



But then again, the detail isn't really too visible.

Although....



I will add that, in CloD, the sea doesn't seem to flow towards the cost; in some cases it moves perpendicular to the coast...(wish the game would run on my rig so I could have a go at testing myself)

I totally see what you mean Ali, not brown like poop brown just not the blue it is at the moment, it almost looks a little tropical. You have the north sea, its a fresher and deeper than the channel, the channel is very sandy and that gives it that brownish hue, but as i said its only brownish a little.

I can grab some photo's for you if you want when the weather is better of the canals and water ways around the birmingham area, they give a real good green/brown waterway colour.

But hey mate, its your mod, the community will support how you want to make it buddy.

One should consider that the colour of the sea is depending very much on light condition, what is inside the sea (algae), how shallow or deep it is or if it is real clear water or if there is much plankton or dirt in it and water temperature and the ground composition. I guess also the air may alter the appearance of water.

I remember having visited an Island just short south of Brittany in France (Atlantic ocean) so quite north and nothing that should look too different from the Channel.

Well, it did. It looked on this particular day as if I had been in the Carribean with locally turquoise cristal clear waters. The same water may look completely different on a rainy day.

Some images of the Blautopf, a location in Southern Germany that translates roughly into Blue Pot called this way for some good reason as you immediately will see in the pictures. As I have seen it with my own eyes: it is definitely and really very blue:

Maybe too many colors, from plants they didn't use back then?
And also seems a bit overwhelming, like colors from spring,summer,autumn mixed?
