Hello,
i have made a river and it works fine EXCEPT for one thing ,it does'nt go in the direction i want it to.
How can i make the river go length ways in my map (i.e 90 degrees)
because the animation of the water goes from one bank to the other and i want it to run all the way along my banks.

Have you tried rotating the texture on your brush by 90 degrees ?
If that doesn't work, you'll probably need to change something in a *.tik or *.urc file.

Hi Lt Neil,
Pressing CTRL & Shift left click your water surface. Press S to call up the surface inspector. Then enter rotation as 90
Hope that helps

have you got your textures locked for moves or rotation . Have a look on the textures menu and see . Here is what a shader manual says about the scroll
6.6.3 tcMod scroll <sSpeed> <tSpeed>
Scrolls the texture coordinates with the given speeds. ). The values "s" and "t" conform to the "x" and "y" values (respectively) as they are found in the original texture TGA, The scroll speed is measured in "textures" per second. A "texture" is the dimension of the texture being modified and includes any previous shader modifications to the original TGA). A negative s value would scroll the texture to the left. A negative t value would scroll the texture down.
Example: tcMod scroll 0.5 -0.5 moves the texture down and right (relative to the TGA files original coordinates) at the rate of a half texture each second of travel.
This should be the LAST tcMod in a stage. Otherwise there may be popping or snapping visual effects in some shaders.
and here is part of one of the water textures

Hi Lt Neil.
Strange thing this is. If u really did rotate the texture on your river brush's faces, the streaming direction must have changed. Maybe it is still in a wrong direction but it must be a different one...
Btw, did u use, for the water, a patch mesh or a brush?
