GWater2 - 0.3b 

not gonna lie to you guys, the antipiracy / DRM stuff sucks. its caused way more issues than its fixed. I am removing that crap in the next update From the wise words of Gabe himself, "Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem."

"I WILL FIND YOU" *thunder crack in the distance* holy shit he ain't messin around

Step 1: gwater floats on gwater Step 2: cover yourself in gwater Step 3: wait for it to rain Step 4: fly

8:36 live audio of a distributer being caught by Mee

WE RECREATING THE ELEVATOR SCENE FROM THE SHINING WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥

the thunder struck at the perfect time to be honest

Never clicked on something so fast in my life

"I will fix it I promise I just don't know how yet" professional programmer vibes

Oh gosh, when I hear 'anti-piracy measures' in the context of a GMod addon, I have flashbacks to addons with viruses and other stuff, flashbanging kids with gore, and getting people banned on Steam.

5:25 The combine turned into a blob 😂

that thunder was timed so perfectly oh my god

The thunder clap in the same video as The Blood Stone right after talking about being able to single out distributors is honestly terrifying I wouldn't wanna be a distributor after hearing that. Mee is too powerful

6:09 the red gummy bear insurrection

Dang, he ain't playing around. 😬 8:37

Even Lucifer shudders at paid mods.

for youtube to not compress your video upload it in 1440 or 4k, even if it's 1080 originally.

Amazing how an engine made for a game from 20 years ago put to good use by a talented developer can still manage to amaze me more than modern videogames do nowadays.

the thunderclap in the back after saying you'll find a distributor

Don't fight against piracy Mee, even our lord Gaben said it: "We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem." If you don't want people pirating your product you gotta provide a better service than pirates can. If not, it's a cat and mouse chase. Best regards, a fellow pirate. (jk)

Therapist: Blood UK isn't real it can't hurt you Blood UK: 5:33

Thank you for Jumpscare Mr. Mee 1st the blood in the video and the thundering ambiance really heightened the mood

4:53 that looks amazing

Man i cant believe in my eyes, the way this looks, the behaviour of the physics, everything is stunning, btw the error in the physics panel that you mentioned is 0.1% of a issue, congratulations 👍👍👏👏

"Don't" *thunder*

LowTierGod nearby doing a bbc rant at 8:36

Its insane how much improvement i see every time an update vid comes out. This is just... amazing work brother

Bro.. I've got so many chills this is so cool!. You've blown my mind again!

Gmod Add-ons makers when they discover how to make paid mods: "I'm Hackerman" (They have injected 500k different forms of malware/viruses into their mod as "piracy" measures)

I am so glad I managed to get this off patreon This is sick asf

Damn. This is insane. honestly the distortion is making so much of a difference that could literaly be GWater3

this is so cool!! the blood looks amazing!

Ngl if i was rich i would give 10 thousand dollars to every hard working person like this amazing guy.

cant wait to fill up ttt waterworld with this

This is really good. I had to think about what could be improved then think about how taxing these changes might be when considering hardware performance.

Less gooo!!! Thank you for adding the blood preset innn!!

this is truly amazing, first, chocolate fountain, and now foam effects? epic. cant wait for this to release!

That’s so cool! The fact that you can add surface tension to the simulated liquid is awsome!

Nice mee keep up the great progress!! i hope to see this on the work shop and fully done one day!!

3:12 insane how that ball of gel strangely resembles the gel blob from portal 2

that's soo good, it keeps getting better and better. daaamn

this is really cool. i remember that source water video (made in blender) always blew my mind despite the fact that i knew it wasn't possible. BOY WAS I WRONG

man you make some of the coolest stuff I have ever seen in Garry's mod

cant wait for this to come out in 8 years! gonna be havin so much fun with the physics

I love what you're doing with GWater!!!!

i can't believe my bro you finally made it im so proud of you

dude I can imagine this like with mini games and u having to run from like lava with this stuff. Excited tbh

Amazing work bud.

Yooo let's go you are pro in this work!

The preview fluid sim bug is probably caused by the fact that the only part of the simulation parented to the window is the emitter; the particles merely collide with the edges of the preview pane. While this does allow for a cool effect, where one can shake the window to disturb the fluid, it also means that whenever a fluid can no longer interact with colliders, e.g. when timescale is zero, it won't, causing in this case a sim frozen in place. I would thus suggest checking when timescale is zero and then parenting the whole sim to the window while that is the case.

great work on the new foam particles since they already look so much better compared to the original gwater foam, hoping to see some more options to adjust the time for the foam and total amount of particles as well (and color change). but other than that very neat update!

this is so beautiful plz continue so i can dump ragdolls into water and slime. im very exicted for the full release that will be free.

jumpscare woke me up it is 5 in the morning

Great work!

woo my boy making my day better over here!

This addon is turning out so good

I havent played gmod since forever and you occasionally pop up in my feed, I admire your work and ethics, I am happy to hear that you don't punish people who pirate stuff, because some of these peope could be literally kids who just wanted to play with water physics and have no money. Which was the issue with the guy who created that parkour mod back in the day.

Bruh... I saw the map and I was thinking "Finally I'll see a gwaterfall!" You literally picked it just to troll me didn't you... -.- P.S.amazing job as usual. I love the player - liquid interactions!

omg, that looks so good!

if you're having trouble with youtube compression, you can upscale a video to 1440p before uploading, obviously this does not add detail, but videos above 1080p are not compressed as harshly by youtube

He basically ported the blender simulations into the source engine, holy crap.

God, if there was a "bake into decal" feature where it would turn say, the blood, into a decal for mappers, that would be sick!

some fire stuff bro 👍

awesome work!!!!

7:28, omg mum!!! My code has been mentioned!!!

8:00 If you're talking about the case I think you're talking about, I have something to add: The pirates were pirating the addon because even if they did want to get it legitimately, there was no way to buy it in their country, and the addon author IIRC had no interest in making it legally available in those countries.

dear god, this looks so good

Absolutely insane and incredible

@Meetric1 Good job on this keep it up!!!!

would tinier particles, and putting out fire work?

legendary! Hopefully one day i could be as good a developer as you

next step - universe simulation on the molecular level in gmod

Good! Now i can make a jello-like fluid, paint it white and blast it into Alyx! 🌚

this is amazing

This is awesome, and seeing how it evolved from basic clusters of particles is even more fascinating. I'd still keep the DRM because this shit's so well done and hard work on your part, but I digress. If you made a paid version with extra features + DRM that'd probably be a good middle ground.

1:56 About youtube bitrate, even if you are recording in 1080p, you might want to scale it to 4k before uploading to youtube, since youtube allows for 4 times higher bitrate in 4k, you will have 4 times more data for each pixel you originally recorded, and the image will still be crisp since scaling from 1080p to 4k will transform each pixel in 4 pixels in a square

INCREDIBLE! :D

Could you code this exact fluid solver for Blender

Can I use gwater to was the gblood of my hands?

The surface preview is probably broken because its position is probably updated at the timescale, so setting it to zero probably just doesn't update its position

creepypasta hyperrealistic blood

Valve mire his than

I think a good way to reduce compression is to upload a 1440p file in VP9. I don't know the resolution you play and/or record at, but if it's 1080p or lower you could render it in a 1440p window and upload that here. RU-vid seems to prioritize the quality of videos that are 1440p or higher while compressing 1080p and 720p a bit too much. I think that started when RU-vid made the 720p videos not be considered HD anymore back in 2020. Also holy CRAP I wasn't expecting that part where the player would get covered in fluid, that was amazing!

have been thinking about how sound implementation would work for a while, am imagining it'd have to work similarly to diffuse particles, except there's a condition that gets checked periodically for a tolerance that moves and sets volume of sound

super nice. looks good

my guess of the timescale thing breaking the preview is that it just drags out the frames, and when you put it to 0, its waiting until this frame is done to update the speed, but since its at -infinite speed, it will never update

whats the thing you use to make water spawn inside the tube the starfall thing?

Export your videos in 1440p so you can enable the better codec (vp09) which should make things more clear and visible!

the character collision looks way better here :) perfect id say

What's the point of anti-piracy measures if i can just edit the lua to remove it

can we replace the individual particle of water with props so we can do finny stuff

Would love to see an AI fight in an aquarium,with very thin glass.

Is this gonna be a datae thing where you have to pay to get the addon or will it enter the workshop at some point

how much money do you want to cross compile it for linux

Is this using a type of version of the gel rendering system from portal 2

that actually looks pretty good

when we will able to swim it same as gwater1?

is it possible to port this to generic source branch?

push source to its full limit gotta be the best thing gmod community has done

If I had to guess with no knowledge about how any of it works, are the particles in the 2d simulation not tied to the x and y of the window so that when you shake the window you can see the interaction with the walls of the container? If so, is it possible that when time is set to zero the positions don't get updated anymore (as no time passes) including the collision with the walls of the 2d simulation area, so they just stay in place even when the window moves. A hack is just to tie them to the x and y only when time is set to zero, but you could also just make the wall collisions unaffected by the time variable. There is a high probability I mistook what you were talking about or am just wrong in every way, but I tried.
