Title: Pink Water
Post by: Paeng on May 16, 2017, 05:46:55 AM
That new canal water is taxing my graphics setup... too weak, LOL   :D

* And I fear there is not much I can do about it right now...  :-[

I have the same problem, I tried changing to DX9 but then my game crashed so I don't know if that helps. My graphic card is 5 years old though :(, an ATI HD 7700.

Hmm, that is odd indeed. Could you guys post a screenshot of your video settings so I can try to reproduce the error? I see that the regular water is not doing this, which leads me to believe that it might be something I did in the code. It's very strange how it cuts off on the left side of the screenshot though, or is that a bit of regular water we're seeing there?

Changing the DX while the game is running crashes it for me too, try changing it in the menu.

Correct, where the canals touches "true" water (either stream or creek) this does not happen...

Well, I tried every possible setting (reasonable or unreasonable)  ;)

The pink wouldn't budge at all... and for whatever this might be worth - it's a "singularity", never seen anything like it before   :)

Thanks Paeng! I tried your settings, but unfortunately I can't reproduce the bug on my system. I suspect that it's something hardware related indeed. I will try to delve into the code to see which changes might have led to this problem, though without being able to reproduce it myself it's going to be a bit of a shot in the dark.

Haha @RedKetchup you beat me to it, I was going to suggest that it reminded me of the great lakes here in Australia which are well known to be pink :)  It's a bacteria that cause the colour to be so vibrant :D
http://www.australiangeographic.com.au/topics/science-environment/2016/12/australias-pink-lakes

Sorry about the glitch @Paeng if it wasn't a sign of something wonky with the system setup, I'd happily have pink water.
1)  Pink's my colour (it never was until I turned 30!!)
2)  And it's an Aussie icon, the pink water :D

Yeah, I tend to say don't sweat over it... seems to be a fluke on old HW, Calli with an outdated ATI (which are known to be... ummm... sensitive, anyway...) and me, I currently don't even have a dedicated card...  :(

I think there may be a minor error in the coding used to create the water of the game.

When I place a canal piece on a river the water matches perfectly, however when i place a piece on the land the water in the canal  is a silvery colour.

Similarly if you place a piece partly on a river and the land you get both colours appearing.

Post by: calli74 on May 17, 2017, 07:15:01 PM
I switched to DX9 then I get a silvery colour, with DX 11 I get the pink. I've been trying to test tonight while it's too hot to sleep to see if I could find a graphic setting on my driver software that would make it work but apart from getting the silver with DX9 which looks better but still not quite right, nothing else helped.

I'm afraid it's not that simple, as the bug only occurs on certain systems. It's essentially a certain combination of code, hardware and possibly DirectX that's at fault here, Which is a very tough nut to crack. What complicates matters even further is that I can't reproduce the bug on my own pc, which means that trying to fix it is going to be a complete shot in the dark.

Thanks for sharing, this is valuable information. There are some parts of the code that work differently depending on which DirectX version is used, so that might be where I need to search. Could you perhaps share a screenshot of the silver water with me? Just so I can see what it looks like. I'm also interested in seeing how the ground looks when the canal is removed again; is it also pink/silvery or is it the regular blue?

Here is a screen shot for you, with one part demolished and where the gate is and it touches the real water, there you can see how the water should look, the rest is silvery or pink with DX11, this shot is with DX9c

looks like it has to do with areas that don't have water normally. is there a way to make a mod that will add the new water to the entire map so when the canals are used it would look normal? or just stretch the water texture in the game to full map size? might be the easiest solution.

not really. on the entire map the water will flow in ONE direction, entirely. thats nobody wants. streams should go as you want turn here turn there.
with 1 covering the map, the entire map will be one way from point 0,0 to 1024,1024 ^^

Post by: Bartender on May 19, 2017, 04:08:43 AM
Thanks for the information everyone! I'm starting to get some ideas as to what the problem is. The next step would be finding a solution.

There's a few hypotheses I have so far. I've added some questions that I have for each, answers to any of those would be a great help in figuring out this problem!

1. It appears that the problem only occurs on systems with AMD graphic cards.
- Is there anyone with an AMD card that does not have this problem?
- Is there anyone with a card that is not an AMD that has this problem?

2. using DX9 consistently gives the water a white (silvery) colour, dx11 consistently gives magenta (pink).
- Is there anyone who has the problem, but the behaviour is different than I described here?

3. The problem appears to be related to the semi-transparent nature of the water texture.
- I've read somewhere that the problem did not occur for the irrigation system made by embx, can anyone confirm this?
- Are reflections and underwater textures (parts of the walls in the canals) still visible?

Title: Re: Pink Water
Post by: Paeng on May 19, 2017, 04:55:44 AM
1) can't say, integrated graphics (Intel HD 3000); i5 2430M (2.4GHz), ACPI 64-based PC

2) yes, confirmed - silver on dx9c, pink on dx11

3) yes, Embx Irrigation looks the same on dx9 or 11, same with Necora terraforming items

* Though not quite sure what you mean by this - here a screenshot (attached) -

AMD A10-8700P Radeon R6, 10 Compute Cores, 12GB RAM, 64 bit windows 10.

I get the silver on DX 9c and the Pink on DX 11.

Although, on DX 9C if I zoom out as far as possible it looks better. Also, having shadows turned on or off makes no difference, but having reflect everything turned on seems to make the reflections of the walls and trees look OK but not the rest.

Title: Re: Pink Water
Post by: embx61 on May 19, 2017, 10:48:23 AM
I have my own texture for the color of the water as I am above ground. Maybe Red can put a plane with a watercolor between the ingame water texture and the plane with the water moving part as a test?

What Bartender means is that on the side of the channels the channels brick texture is still visible between the top layer (Moving water) and the bottom layer (The color of the water)

Title: Re: Pink Water
Post by: Bartender on May 19, 2017, 11:08:21 AM
Thanks for the screenshots and answers to the questions!

This mostly confirms my hypotheses, so that's good. Essentially what is happening is that the new water somehow refuses to reflect the sky, though it still reflects everything else. I will try to make a small test with several possible solutions this weekend, hopefully one of those will solve it.

@embx61 it's good to know that putting a plane underneath definitely works, although this wouldn't look completely natural for large bodies of water. I'm curious to see how it would work if the plane uses the OpaqueInWaterMaterial though, so that's one of the things I'm going to test.

boooo hoouhoouu  :'(  :'(  :'(

i thought that was maybe the way the old pieces of the NMT2.0 canal system was built : it was not a "plane" for the water but a "thin box of 0,01 thick". (a box has a side on top, but also a side beneath)
and i thought that maybe it was the culprit. the reflection of the side "beneath" the box was messing with the reflections of the "top".


oh well  :'(
Title: Re: Pink Water
Post by: Discrepancy on May 20, 2017, 04:19:51 AM
What does influence it though is nearby shadows, so @Bartender is correct, it isn't reflecting the sky, but a nearby tree/barn casting a shadow on the water make it appear normal, with the reflection.

@RedKetchup , I wonder what would happen if you put an inverted plane above the water plane, with a blue texture.
If the face is pointing down, we should look through it, but the water will reflect it?

This could be a very elegant solution! We could even give that plane a sky texture so that it looks almost like the natural water.

The reflections of the sky work in a very weird way.. essentially the water needs the blue lowered ground underneath it in order to reflect the sky. Any water that doesn't have lowered ground under it will just appear transparent, and will need to get its colour from what's underneath it.

bah the very first test is i noticed my old canal parts had a box of 0,01' think instead of a simple plane. a box is like a 6-side dice and has 6 sides.
but it changed nothing :( a plane or a box change nothing for amd users.

2nd test i ve put a blue plane under water spaced at -0,3' beneath. the problem is i cannot put a blue plane it looks terribad with the brickswalls. it is not a pond or an wood made irrigation system : it is a canal !

so the next tests i made is the same blue texture plane but upside-down 180%. the blue textured side is beneath, and ontop is the invisible side ^^
so we dont see it properly since we see the invisible side.... but i hope the amd video card is seeing it and still take the reflection of the beneath side into compute ^^

first i started at +0,1" ontop of water. the next was at 0.05' ontop and last at 0,05 minus beneath water :P

@Bartender  @RedKetchup , my ghost sky works:

it is a 12x12 plane, with the face inverted, so from above we are looking from behind it.
It is a seamless sky texture. the plane sits -.01 below ground

reply # 49 is inversed at +0,05' of the water ( water at -0,76z , the inversed at -0,71 z)
reply # 50 is inversed at -0,05 of the water ( water at -0,76z , and the inversed at -0,81z) which seems cannot be under the water.
last reply at #56 is still inversed at +0,01 of the water ( water at -0,76 and the inversed at -0,75z) too close = moiré

this latest test,

looks okay close up, but heavy 'moire' (you can see the circle patterns')
from a far it gets pinker.

so we cant get close. the difference with my inversed and yours : i have same size as the canal : 4x4 . your inversed seamless sky is 12x12  so lot bigger to maybe catch the view angles.

i think the last test will be at +0,05 ontop of the water (water at -0,76 and sky at -0,71) .... but alot much larger like (6x6 ? 8x8 ?) they will get ontop each other for sure :(

@Bartender  @RedKetchup , my ghost sky works:

it is a 12x12 plane, with the face inverted, so from above we are looking from behind it.
It is a seamless sky texture. the plane sits -.01 below ground

This is great news! Perhaps adding a ghost sky is the easiest solution then, that way people with AMD cards can make it work, but we don't have to compromise on quality for people with other cards.

yes there is : extra big shadows that is darkening alot the water and lower parts. specially the water is alot more darker to compare the rivers and lakes.
it is not really the optimum fix we would search. maybe Luke can answer that ? if you cant @Bartender  find something better with the code ?

the ghost sky shades the water too much.... back to the drawing board!

You can disable the shadow by making a simple change in the material rsc file . In the rsDepth, you go to the Depth _depth part and set bool _enable = false.

I'll still make some tests with code changes, I just need to find the time ;).

Hmm, what material are you using? I just tried it with an adaptation of the OpaqueMaterial, and that works for me. here's what it looks like:

The only problem I'm getting is that at some camera angles the shadow briefly flickers on again, I'll see if I can fix that.

EDIT: just made a little change, now it even still reflects other objects. Still didn't fix the flickering though.

@RedKetchup & @Bartender

I can not work out why this would be happening.

I have utilized your code Bartender in my Water Pump, yet it does not show up pink.

RedKetchup, what material code are you using for the water plane?
my water pump code looks like this:
MaterialInstance resource
{
Material _material = "Material\Bartender\RiverMaterial.rsc";
Texture _textures
[
{
String _name = "water";
ImageBuffer _texture = "Terrain\RiverWaterTexture.rsc";
}
{
String _name = "frame";
ImageBuffer _texture = "Terrain\RiverFrameCopyTexture.rsc";
}
{
String _name = "reflection";
ImageBuffer _texture = "Terrain\RiverReflect2Texture.rsc";
}
{
String _name = "highlight";
ImageBuffer _texture = "Terrain\RiverReflectTexture.rsc";
}

]
}


Also, do you have a plane at the base of the canal? (deep under the water so it is an open-box shape)
Title: Re: Pink Water
Post by: Discrepancy on June 06, 2017, 01:09:47 AM
here is the picture of my water pump next to the canals:

}

no in the 2 test of today there wasnt a plane under. we tried many attampts with planes under, ontop (inversed) and you were still getting pinks in extremities :

Title: Re: Pink Water
Post by: Discrepancy on June 06, 2017, 03:19:28 AM
It is still pink though :(



My code is the same...
If it is not the material, then perhaps it might be the model. I cannot see why it is effecting yours and not mine... unless because it is under natural ground level... I'm not sure.

@RedKetchup , I made a quick picture attached. Is this how your canal is designed?

if Black is the canal, does it have a floor/base attached to the same mesh? and orange being a quarry floor, and blue the water plane?
If not, I'm wondering if it is because light is coming in from below...

Another thought/question... is your water plane a single plane or is it a box?
Title: Re: Pink Water
Post by: RedKetchup on June 06, 2017, 03:53:56 AM
no canal walls doesnt have a "bottom" , the ground itself is the bottom, like a creek (brown color)
the canal wall are in black representing stone bricks,
the blue line is the water. just below it there is another opaque blue color at 0,1 of the liquid water.
the green lines represent the ground level made from grass
the brown one is the bottom of the hole representing the dark brown underground that has been digged(dig?).

... the English language is strange.

Have you tried making a flat bottom to the canal?

Also, your water? is the mesh a plane or a box? I would try a single sided plane.

sweet. can you delete the lower plane with the blue texture ? the one under (and below minus 0,10') to see if it still do no pink ?
Title: Re: Pink Water
Post by: Discrepancy on June 06, 2017, 06:25:18 AM
@RedKetchup ,

I have tested more, and as far as I can tell this should work fine. I have tried many other things but nothing works. Making this change doesn't seem to make any difference apart from removing the pink.

Make the change as above to the WaterMaterial.srsl

In the .fbx I also removed the blue textured plane below the water and removed the material attached to the floor (though I don't think this matters, I just needed to when using blender, I also had to remove the other meshes in the .fbx).


... the only thing, none of this explains why my Water Pump isn't pink... I even tried swapping code and the canals still showed up pink. I think this still requires some more investigating.

but I attached my test compile, if other amd/intel users can test?
Title: Re: Pink Water
Post by: Bartender on June 06, 2017, 06:54:27 AM
This is great @Discrepancy ;D! Are there any other visual changes besides the disappearance of the pink?

I suspect that your water pump doesn't show the pink, because it is not reflecting the sky. Sky reflection seems tied to the lowered terrain, which causes the pink somehow.

I just tested it on my system, and the only difference I can see is that the bloom value has a slight influence on the brightness of the reflection. It's not something very obvious though, and still a million times better than the pink :). Once there's some more testimonies that it's working I'll update the files in the tutorial.

That is what I think too. I have NVidea Graphics so could not test for the pink.
But my Irrigation channels are not having the pink issue either as reported by some and that is because they are above ground and so not utilizing Luke's blue water texture plane beneath the ground.

My Irrigation channels below ground are almost finished and I think they will be fine too as they are not going so deep to reach Luke's blue texture.

Great find @Discrepancy for the fix with the bloom. :)

@RedKetchup if canal is included in RKEC how is it that 2 versions aren't necessary for the water color problem.?

the nvidia one is working only on nvidia card, the radeon one even if it looks a bit different, it works on all video cards, nvidia included.

so in RKEC the version inside is the radeon one since it works everywhere.

Hey there,
the 9400 Gt is a pretty old model (more than 10 years now), but it has the minimum requirements for Banished. If you want to run it at higher graphics settings or add a bunch of mods with good graphics you'll probably run into trouble.:)

Any newer graphics card will be mostly better, so it's entirely up to your budget how much you want to upgrade.
One thing to keep in mind: most older models are no longer being produced so you'll have to go for a second-hand, which is always a bit risky.

That being said, I believe Banished's recourse intensity is mainly in the CPU and RAM usage, so to make sure you have a optimal experience you'd have to check if you have enough RAM and a adequate CPU as well: they would otherwise create a bottleneck for your Graphics Card.
