About This File

Wave3 Productions

Item #006


This mod contains a DAT file that adds a new lot to

your Parks menu.  This lot, when plopped, generates free

flowing streams that travel off the lot until they reach

either the edge of the map or a body of standing water.


How to Use

Place the lot on a slope with the arrow pointing downhill.

Once placed, the stream will begin to flow.  If you do not

like the direction it is going, you must either move the lot

or terraform so the water flows somewhere else.  The flow

does have some randomness to it, so it cannot be trusted to

go the same direction 100% of the time, and will occasionally

splash a bit.  But don't worry, as the streams pose no damage

to anything, they simply flow through buildings and vehicles.


Remember: water flows downhill!


WARNING ~ Usage of the Wave3 Free Spring Mod may cause a

speed reduction in gameplay, due to the CPU power required

to operate the stream effect.  In testing, no significant

frame rate changes could be detected, but theoretically the

lot has the potential to stall, freeze, or crash the game.

Saving is recommended before use.

Quirlix, do you think it is possible to built a lava style lot of these with red orangish flow - I mean I have no clue what the hell you did there so I an not judge what might be possible an what is not.

=0 AMAZING!!!!! Just one question - does it only use the games default texture, or does it use whichever custom water texture you have installed?

this is fantastic. so when is the lava lot comming out? the only suggestion I would like to make is for a transparent texture. the grass just looks odd when it is on the side of a mountain.

Great idea. I was looking for something like this. And such a small file! Good things do come in small packages. JB

I tested it in game and it looks awsome! It's a bit tricky to make it go where u want to and requires a lot of play with the terraforming tools.

quarlix Is it possible to change the parameters of this lot to make the stream more over flowing (deeper) or wider or make it flow on almost completly flat land?

Wow! Just wow. I am now officially flabbergasted! I had to slap my face and pinch my arm before I could believe what I was seeing. With everybody thinking that the elusive surface water would be impossible - how did you pull this off? Oh yeah - I'll go to the forums and read up on it. Again, wow.

Wow! That is incredible, I didn't know the SC4 engine allowed this. Is there some physics variables or constants that we didn't know about? Is there a forum on tis? And finally is there a God?
