Pixel Shader Style Water for MGE XE
by Hrnchamd
Version: 1.0
A modernized version of the pixel shader water from vanilla Morrowind. This is a shader core mod for MGE XE, which modifies MGE XE's water rendering.
It aims to replicate the texture, transparency, and artistic feeling of the original mercurial water, without duplicating its low resolution.
The original has some technical deficiencies that make it unusable in modern engines. It doesn't even reflect the landscape properly. This is a close compromise using the original as reference.
Requirements
MGE XE 0.13.4 or later:
https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/41102
Installation
Extract the archive to the Data Files directory. It requires Distant Land to be enabled. To match the vanilla ripple effect, turn on Dynamic Ripples in MGE XE, but set Wave Height very low, about 0-5 units.
To uninstall, remove the file <Data Files/shaders/core-mods/XE Mod Water.fx>.
Credits
Special thanks to PurplePrankster for testing several iterations.
Permissions
Free for distribution and code re-use. Please give credit.
