Definitely! It needs some cleaning and I need to write
a help-file as well, along with some examples.

Shouldn't be a problem now. Just give me a Yacht!

Nope. For Water Particles, I figured that I could check how high a wave
is, which is practically what defines its force in the system, and is an
indicator on how long it will remain in the system. If a high enough wave
is reflected, I could just issue some particles. Got no particle system
though, but I'll comment the code to find it in later needs.
As for foam trails: To avoid interferences with waves which were following
the moving objects, I memorize several steps behind the actual one, and
handle the waves at those memorized steps a little different. So, accessing
these could create the foam trails, though I'm not sure how this could
be achieved properly.
And what do you mean with etc? :-)

You've lost the bet. It depends on how you want
it to look. Foam trails could be achieved with
texturing (though that would get pretty difficult), and
water particles with an external particle system. It
wouldn't like like a wave dissolving into particles,
if thats what you mean. And foam trails wouldn't be
actual CSG (though I think this could be possible
as well)... :-)

I'll expect a "photograph" of it in binaries.images
shortly. :-D

It looks very good, now we will have one more way to interact with our
virtual environments!

Thank you.

I'm still working on several issues. One thing I've enhanced
for the object-interaction is the velocity-calculation. All you
do now is set a minimum speed after which waves are created,
a maximum speed after which the waves' height is clipped, and
height values for the waves for min and max speed. This
causes waves of different heights according to the speed the
object has "at that point".

So, to counterstate what I've said before, objects, which aren't
moving, but only rotating, will affect the waves! I'm pretty proud
that that worked out.

It'll take a few more days (for two reasons: 1. want to implement
some more additions and make it more failproof, 2. I've got
an assignment to do due 31. April), but I'm hoping and counting
on releasing it someday in May.

I've uploaded a first draft for the help to my homepage, under
the WIP section, but that ones already outdated. Nontheless,
you can take a look at it for a preview on what you'll be able
to do...


Regards,
Tim

Nah, it's just that everything that could be said has already been said. You
rule. It's that simple.

No problem... you earned it.
