I wished you made variant where only the "silo" water tank and the other outside areas are affected, if that's possible, since the others are supposed to be well seen-through, as well as the coolant liquid should which should look "warm" too as it is in vanilla, and the very flat water must not be that hard to see-through at all, while I agree that the edges shouldn't be visible on them, which are fixed with your version.

For some reason this addon causes massive fps drop and crashes on the latest version of the game. Uninstalling it solved my issue.

some look better, some dont. very flat water and the coolant arent supposed to look the way you changed them... flat water doesnt refract even 1/3 of the amount you see here now

I wish you gave at least 2 options. excluding flat water and coolant. now I need to look into the individual file names at the very least. I hope the ones in the "nature" folder are the flat ones

it's dated now, valve themselves even expanded on water for l4d2 and then more for portal 2

hl2 water is simply the most delicious water to taste

@Trevor Reznik looks like you never played watch dogs, rdr2, gta 5, cod mw2 and more

HL2 water is the best water I've seen in all of gaming

@jakescritty Unfortunately any water that looks dirty is expensive water cause it uses fog which means it wouldn't work if I ported the l4d water cause the l4d dirty water is expensive water (hence the need for cheapwater in the first place.) However if someone were to add xog by editing the maps that would make the water look murkier and dirty and would make it look better but my mod is just a texture change

what mod is the last pic?

I got an idea that might actually help the water puddles look good. Can you replace the puddles with the ones from left for dead and make the water look a lot less clean please.

ok thx bro
Jimmy McBeltbuckle  [author] May 8, 2023 @ 10:58pm 
@creepernator152 Nope cause with xen water they actually already have decent cheap water so there's no need to change it
Jimmy McBeltbuckle  [author] May 8, 2023 @ 10:57pm 
@Cursed Gman (Dany): Yeah the reason they used cheap waters in the places they did was cause most of the places they used it used func water analogs which are a dynamic entity, and since expensive water can't be used on moving water cause of fog and expensive reflections cheap water is used instead. And when they didn't use it for moving water they used it for water with a ton of vertices which I guess there's a threshold for how many expensive water can have, or water that's too shallow idk.

@creepernator152 Unfortunately it doesn't seem to.

creepernator152 May 6, 2023 @ 7:26pm 
does this change xen water? like the water found in xen?
Jariner May 6, 2023 @ 7:53am 
dear christ, didnt know the water looked THAT bad, glad theres an addon that fixes it
Drag0n May 3, 2023 @ 9:35pm 
Looks great!
Dany 117 May 3, 2023 @ 6:40pm 
I have no ideas why they decided to use cheap water in some areas, i never used that in any of my maps and never had issues with expensive water, in anyway nice mod bro it does look way better in game now and it fit well with my hd textures mod.

Nah cause they disable all mods, and I don't think it's necessary for blue shift
crazydogames May 3, 2023 @ 2:02pm 
Would this work with blue shift?
Jimmy McBeltbuckle  [author] May 3, 2023 @ 12:44pm 
It should work though I haven't tested it myself
C1TY May 3, 2023 @ 9:40am 
does it work on BMCE (campaign) and BMSC?
