Title: Somehow my water turned black
Post by: imperialmog on August 03, 2008, 06:14:12 AM
I just ended up loading a bunch of custom content on my game and just noticed my regular water in the game turned black. *note: this was done on a new computer which took me a whole day just to put on since the computer I did have was stolen* Is there some way I can fix this since it looks odd seeing black water.

Did you download one of the JRP Canal Packs? I believe one of them contains a blackish watermod.

Yes I did, but how do I get the color back? Is there some file name I can find to  get the color back?

That depends if you want to use the game's water color or another water mod. I would recommend using another mod (but that's just my personal taste). If you wish to use the game's water, you will have to find the file that contains the mod and remove it (which on that is, I'm not sure). If you have another mod you want to use, then it is just a matter of organizing your plugins folder. The game loads plugins one at a time from the top of the list to the bottom. If any game properties are changed by more than one file, the game will use the file from further down the list. Therefore, change the name of the mod you want to use to start with the letter z, or something to ensure it is at the bottom of the list.

Hope that helps.

imperialmog...

The name of the file you need to remove is 'JRP_WaterMod_Beta.dat'. It was included as an option in the second addon pack, so if you put the entire pack in your plugins, that's why your water is black. Find that file and delete it, and the water will return to water ever texture you had. Hope this helps...
