New Water Physics, Coming Soon!

[Krookodile]

Hooray! More graphical updates for people who like esthetics! Will mobs and projectiles like dart traps activates too? It would be awesome if dart traps would activate that.

Woah, that change is so awesome!!
Does the water moves when not interacted based on wind speed?

 

[Jenosis]

oooh does this mean the ocean will have waves and tsunamis? because that'd be great!

While I'm not a developer, NPCs interact with the world (including water) much like players do, and Dart Trap darts are projectiles just like the Star Wrath projectiles seen interacting with the water in the video, so I see no reason to assume they don't.
I'm not aware of Dart Traps being able to fire in any angle that would allow the darts to enter water, but the point still stands.

 

[MinerTurtle45]

Wow. Very realistic, wasn't expecting that. Good job, Skiphs!

 

[Makishima]

there are a lot of very interesting ideas that could come out of this. Now I'm even more excited for what'll happen to it in the future !

Yup.

As of right now we have:
Off - Water as it is right now.
Low - You just get the passive water distortion, and things don't actually interact with it.
Medium - Players and most NPCs create ripples as they pass through water. (Along with other things like the drops of water from the ceiling)
High - Projectiles also create ripples and ripples can bounce off walls.

Any expected release date for said water physics, or the secret update as a whole? I'm itching for more content!

 

[Shady_93]

/\ When it's done

 

[Vulpes Inculta]

Wow that looks phenomenal. Well done @Skiphs

Looks like an actual water physica simulation, with the ripples. So close to being a perfecr gif.... So close.

 

[dzzytrll]

im waiting also 4 mods that let u scale the effect(s), so when u dip ur toes in it causes a tsunami

 

[Jonsontrue]

Amazing! But i'm pretty curious on those "hidden" features

 

[Burst]

1.3.4 announced. xD
That looks good. Me gusta, i like it, das gefällt mir sehr!

 

[The Pumking's Blade]

I was never a fan of secrets, even though I have my own secrets but I like the water animation and can't wait for the update

 

[Jonathan.]

I love these kinds of little additions giant bosses are cool, but these things just make the world that bit more beautiful.

Sweet, I like seeing brand new updates!


Thanks guys

 

[Terra_master]

wow! the new water physics look amazing

 

[Angelic Werewolf]

O My Gosh That's so cool!

 

[SquirtingOranges]

Its the little things

 

[SnailsAttack]

That looks pretty amazing!

Question; Is the water actually moving, or is that just a neat graphic effect? As in, could it spill over if an entity enters with enough velocity?

Also why in the is it that even though I check the forums as soon as I get home from school I swear I never new update things like this until way later like why
