@brads3 - I think it can have to do with updating drivers or such.
I am more or less forced to do this.

Scenario - Some do not want stone edge -> 2 versions
Some can not see transparent water -> 4 versions
Some want salmon -> 8 versions.

:(

I don't know how luke coded it but there seems to be no option
to gradually fade out a texture. It is either off or on.
I have tried before without success.

I was talking about doing it in the texture itself instead of within game. Do the alpha channel in the texture, then save that as a png or tga with an alpha. I don't know if an image format like that will work in Banished though.

I have the latest drivers available for my card, but then - my card is kind of old. It's a GeForce GT 240 with 512 MB VRAM.

No surface!

I am about to delete this mod. Only problems.

Thanks RK, I maybe do that later.
I have a working mod on my machine. I like it and want to develop it more.
If people don't like something about it - I can not change it to another mod!
I know I am onto something with the transparency and I would like to hear
@Bartender 's view of things. There is, as he stated, some problem with
reflections on certain angles. Maybe there IS a solution to displaying this
on older machines.

My laptop is about 5 years old, not sure if that qualifies as an older machine, but if it does, then you might be on to something about older machines maybe.
Got my first computer 1984 when it was all dos. Been playing computer games and internet surfing since. SOOO much has changed!! lol.

The water problem should be fixable. Other mods have water that works. Discrepancy's water pump and EB's water well and irrigation ditches, and of course Red's canals.

I don't know if you mean visible salmon if you mean the pond makes salmon.

For everything visible - stone edge and visible fish and water plants, rocks, fences etc - these could all be ghost decorations. Then all you need is one basic version and everything else could be a ghost decoration. Even the tree could be a ghost deco. Then everyone should be happy.  :)

Salmon was a joke (sort of, but people have strange desires)
Water in pond stays. I changed Fish Farm. That's enough for now.
(of course I hope for a solution!!!)
Decoration? I won't do any.
Stones? Hide them with flowers. Can be done.
Grass/sand/gravel? I sat over a day to match that grass to most of the map. It stays!

If it is a problem mod - Don't use it.

After all I am a happy guy but I have a hard time saying 'no'.... :)

 :) I will use both fish farm and fish pond, versions 1 both look good to me.  I am happy too.

kid1293

Then I can maybe put Fish Farm back and have non-transparency as
download in forum thread. Would make me even happier! :)

Oh I forgot to mention, I like the icons.  :)

KID,i thought you did a good job with it. i only offered ideas cause you didn't sound happy with those edges. sometimes as you modders do something different you do find new ideas. sorry you got frustrated,was hoping you foud something new along the way.
     does the game read these ponds as water? so say the pond was bigger could it be used and players could add some of the other modded dock pieces to it? like the CC reed farm,rice paddys,or duck hunting blinds? or NECORA's fishing piers and maritimes additions for the clams or mollusks?

kid1293

No @brads3 , it is a model not the map.
If you want other water buildings they have to be placed by the modder.
I am not sure I will release code since it created such confusion.

(but yes, I want a rice field some time) :)

All I say about code - Under water material, a surface texture with glass material applied.

brads3

how do we page EB. he is the master at digging since he did all the ditch canals and corners.
