GWater2 - 0.2b 

0.2b Is out by the way! I don't have time to post a whole video, but I hope you guys enjoy it! :) Thanks for the feedback on the particle colors and box! ill see what I can do in 0.3b

education before internet

Honestly, I think most people are paying you not just to mess around with the addon for like a week or so, they're doing so because they are genuinely grateful for your raw skills, knowledge, and savviness around the engine, and how a lot of your work for this game at first sounds straight up impossible without having access to the full source code of the engine. Yet here it is, with barely any lag whatsoever.

3:12 COME ON I was looking forward to watching the ragdoll go flying when you took fall damage

From my experience the best rule of thumb when it comes to "Should I have it be X or Y?" is options, options, options! The more control and customization you give to the user, the better

9:50 looks like something came out straight from NY old pneumatic line

*casually bhops in modern gmod*

God. How time flies. From seamless portals to cloth to procedural trees, terrain, glass and ofher stuff. Im glad ive been subbed for all these years

I really don't think you need to justify charging money for early access to the addon, your work on it is very impressive and the fact you are releasing the finished version for free at all is commendable and generous.

Can you have the global color change on a toggle? Best of both worlds!

I've followed this mod (only on RU-vid) since the beginning, and I still am surprised that this can even function. I also am surprised at the blue portal gel looking water just sticking to the wall. Keep going man! I would buy early access if I had money.

This is incredibly amazing, please take all the time you need on this

Man your work is amazing, we're all pretty glad with what you do with the game. Best of luck!

It's already pretty mind-blowing that you're developing this on the side of your studies so props to you for that, I'll gladly spend money for this mod. Keep it up you legend

So happy to see a new devlog!!! veri cool, just do your stuff man

Would it be possible to make the water color be an option, where users could select whether or not it’s global, and possibly even change it on the fly? I feel like this would be the most universal approach, as it appeases both sides

Voiceover videos are back, nice

I swear, you've made some of the most impressive addons I've seen in Gmod, it really makes it seem like almost anything would be possible with this old engine, hell even the idea I had, to bad I don't know how to program. I doubt I'd be able to try every addon you make (inf Map gave me problems on my end) but still, it's awesome seeing your work.

This is amazing stuff! I'm busy with school right now too, but when I get some down time I will definitely see if me and my brother can buy the early access! (Because every programmer knows when you think "oh five months maybe more for this" it's a tad scary with how scheduling usually goes lol) Cheers!

For the box make it have collision with the ground, so you don’t need the indicator to see if it’s in the wall/floor. Hope this helps :)

Yayyyy another gwater 2 video

hes finally talking again, good

Wow that looks incredible!

looks sick

WHAT? HE HAS A VOICE? So excited, glad to see you're gaining traction!

When you don't have rhe best tools in the shed, you learn to be a master at your work.

Wow this is really impressive!

glad you're alright :)

if you want the cube to indicate when you're spawning water inside of the ground you could split it in two, one half renders on a Less or Equal than depth with a more neutral color (half-transparent or a mid-gray) and one that renders on a Greater than depth (so it renders only when its inside another object) with a more pronounced color that way it's not as bothersome but still indicates what it needs to

you could add a option for world collsions for the box thats drawn showing where the water will spawn, I mean as in the white lines would adhere to the world collision rather than going straight through, you could also make it so theres a preset for what shape it will make as well maybe idk lol.

Looks real good. 😍

This is amazing.

Interesting, also I love this mod. I will definitely be paging money if and when I can to support you and your amazing skills, and the mod is looking amazing so far GG

- the cube is fine - You could add a toggle to change the color of all fluid or just new fluid

that hopping tho 🔥🔥🗣🗣

amazing

gotta love in the beginning how you just casually start bhopping and strafing around

Hey, fightspace! One of my favourite maps to play around on.

beautiful

Yes im about one month late to the party and someone might have already said this but i think it's safe to say with water 2 on the horizon we might be getting closer to identical blender liquid levels of gmod fluids, real impressive and curious to see what could be next! take your time g (and no the blender stuff is not a suggestion or request, don't take it as such)

Great work and addon! The main thing that sticks in the eye is that water is reflecting not what it is surrounded (is it using source light probes and cubemaps?) and you shown the non existing sun reflection, so I guess and hope this is what you will improve next. Also the one thing that is harder to implement is that the water makes surfaces it touches wet, so it changes the material properties and look, the simple way is to make everything darker underneath (but only what is touched), now it looks more like glass layer over. The other thing is caustics, this is something that was done by many devs before, I think you can too!

nice update

Nice bhopping skills! No idea why this "GWater" is in the title.

What might help in addition to the cube could be optional X/Y/Z rays such that if the cube is midair, you can tell directly what you're spawning above

im in awe at how jelly that jelly looks at the end

Good👍

about the fun parameters tab, you could add a checkbox whether to update the current water, you dont need to remove it fully

I need to know how to enable bhopping GYATT. Some notes: - I would keep the spawn box crosshair (just add a button to enable/disable) - Having different colors would be interesting imo (Ive managed to use it to make some very basic shitty art, you can almost use it like a spray paint) Potentially just having another button that updates all water or newly spawned water. What I would Love to see: - Ability to turn off player collision (i hate when I make a scene and then accidentally push around the liquid) - Buffer loading when spawning the big cube (I did mention this to you before, not sure if you added it) - Drain and Spawners (You mentioned this in the D-cord) - Ability to change where particles spawn (the spawning box) Ie how far or close. - How much velocity they start with (The particles always come out with a bit of force, hard to make drips etc.) Love the project so far!

Somehow it looks better than before

Maybe you can make the box an option in the settings.

Something about these videos just feel so much like Tynan Sylvester's old devlogs

Yayyy another voice video

Is there a limitation reason as to why you can't have an option to set and unset already spawned water color to the new color in the parameters? That way if you want, changing the color changes the water you've already spawned, or have it only effect the newly spawned water.

water color would work best as an option imo, no reason to hard force all water to be the same color maybe a toggle underneath where it says “Color” and make it read “Constant”

Gwater my beloved

Yes

I'm probably pretty late getting here, but it would be great if the scale of the cube (xyz) could be changed (it would make it a lot easier to create rivers) and it would be nice to be able to choose other shapes instead of a cube + toggleable visibility of spawn cube/invisible when using camera

man, how da hecc is this even possible, time flies

I personally really like the box.

8:10 you could shoot a trace to get ground level and move the particles up from the hit pos

HE MADE REALISTIC PORTAL GELS!!!!!

omg so so great (i paid for this really)

epic

did bro just randomly decided to bhop

god i love giving you my money

gwater 2 should have a blood replacement/rain option

I have an idea to add a setting so that the liquid can leave behind a stain of any color.

Maybe make the box outline only visualize for the gun when said box is actually clipping into geometry

How about making the box a toggle in the settings. On by default I think because it just shows where it goes.

7:17 i see myself UR WELCOME DUDE!!

add a check box for individual control

The solid colors could be sick for a splatoon in Garry’s mod kinda situation

holy shit this is bomb as fuck

I have a idea can you do when all of the particles water is in one big piled you add a hitbox so can swim?

I like the box, but for those who don't there should be a toggle - if it's not too much work.

Could you just add an "apply color to all" checkbox beside the color selector? That'd keep things consistent but still allow for funny clown vomit shenanigans for people who want that.

Will you make some kind of add-on api for gwater2? Like to give ability to modify behaviour of objects that touches liquid(like repulsion gel from portal 2 for example), or something like that?

sick sidehops tho

Can't wait to run it completely on my 7900xtx and 5800x3d

Maybe add an option to toggle between consistent and non-consistent color changes. And a toggle for the white box. A toggle is usually my solution when I can't decide between options lol.

godd

7:17 IM FAMOUS!

you could make the box an option inside the settings

Could you try adding a button to toggle the square on and off?

on the water gun you should change left click and right click to fire and alt fire because not everyone plays with a keyboard and mouse and not everyone has left click and right click set to fire and alt fire edit: also you should just put a button next to color to apply the color to all liquid instead of making it automatically apply

Imo that cube should be gone. I like to see how blood/lava splatters on the wall without any visual disturbance, and we should be able to mix colours, beacause its cool to make shake or blender :)

i think you should have an option so you can toggle on or off "global colour" for the liquids

Wake up fellow Gmodians, for our king has posted

HOT

Someone with your talent shouldn't be in college

О новый видос

take my money

so just to be sure if I paid for the pateron thing then immediately cancel it would you still have access to all the new versions? I would love to get this now but im very tired of subscriptions.

I literally did the Leonardo DiCaprio screen point when I saw my name in the Patron list Also keep the box, at least as an option cause I think it's really useful

Just make the box a toggle in options

Why is the spawn cube a cube and not a sphere? Spherical outflow would look way more natural, and considering the cube doesn't rotate with aim rotation, that wouldn't need to happen for the sphere anyway. Also multicolor is important, please add setting.

Random question, but what are you using to bhop like that? I've been trying to figure out how to bhop in garry's mod without being slowed down (my momentum keeps being reset when I hit the ground even though I am not holding W).

whole-water coloring could be a tick box

shounic, pinsplash, garbaj, and mee all got the same type of voice that makes me tihnk they are all the same person the first 10 seconds of each video

only show part of the box thats in the ground 👍
