"smart" water effect

ankheg

The current one in BGEE is the same old pixelated one.

+1. bgt water looks much better. current white dot pattern distracts

Arsene_Lupin

Agreed. 1000 times over.

Agree. Although the dots mesh well in that comic book kind-of-way with the new cutscenes. Which I don't like neither, so.

Just realised, it gets worse with zooming...

Im on Win 7 64bit, AMD Phenom II 965, ATI 5850 with latest drivers

Yeah, I guess it is the effect of the bicubic interpolation. So it isn't buggy just ugly.

my jpg doesn't display properly in the webbrowser. Ive included a bmp that shows the proper unsightly effect here: http://forum.baldursgate.com/discussion/comment/413733/#Comment_413733

You said it's maxium zoom out. You mean you used the wheel for zooming out, or is it the default setting? (the one you got by clicking on the wheel) If it is the former than it is normal, it's called scaling artifact. If you have dots on default (1:1) than it is a bug.

Oh thanks, it's a scaling artefact, what a shame

still, I am grateful for the ability to zoom, what a great addition to the game

Still, water should be improved.

@kungfuhobbit That was referring to the waterfalls, rivers and streams in the new BGII:EE content, not any changes to existing content.
