Hey guys, I'd love to upgrade the water in FreeBuild a bit. Who's interested in something like this?
From what I've read the resource that enables this automatically falls back on older hardware so it shouldn't affect the frame rate too much.
I faked that effect just fine in Forest of Forever, but if it happened automatically, without needing to make additional adjustments to existing waterblocks, and could be turned off in video options, that would be freaking sweet...
That would be pure awesomeness if you did that Elf.
Edit: nvm I just noticed you have Linux support already. I'll be testing that in a bit.

Existing waterblocks would need, at the very least, to add a couple lines to their definition.

I'm horrified by the prospect.
</sarcasm>
I'd love it. 
Excellent; it looks like this means we can have more water like RollingHills and less like GreenHills.
are the shaders going to be procedural or will we have to make them?
Awesome! The only downside I can see is that old computer won't like it.

As elfprince13 mentioned, we looked over the documentation, and it degrades gracefully to the current water renderer if the hardware can't support this eyecandy.
Your fake thingy sucked Dshiznit
And about doing it, oh fuck yes

Depending on how you do it, it shouldn't cause problems on any system younger than 6 years old.
If you're using a cheap computer from 7-9 years ago you probably shouldn't be using it period, let along playing games with it.
You're forgetting about netbooks sig. And the reason games like WoW and Zuma sell so many copies is because they can run on anything, including netbooks.

I have a feeling that if a modern netbook can run the game it all it probably supports DX8.
