Ocean Help!

D4RKN3R · March 6

I'm making a water world for my mod JFA, and I want to increase the water level. I've tried many things, but none of them work. How can I fix this?

(I'm bad at making planet packs)

The code below is a very early DEV version of the code for use. How can I fix this issue

I want to increase the water level.

Edit your terrain textures so that the perceived sea level is higher then offset the terrain down so the sea level in the texture matches the sea level in-game. And if it really matters, increase the body radius too.

Alright, I've followed your advice, and it has made me realize that the problem isn't just that the water level is too low - It's BELOW the surface. I've set the oceans on the heightmap to black, and it's the same size as laythe. Any more suggestions?

EDIT: made it slightly bigger, fixed the issue.

For a beginner: Perhaps use exactly 50% gray as your midpoint, where sea level should sit. (If you know better, you don't have ot do this.) Also ensure that your heightmap uses the entire grayscale: 0 (black) ~ 100% (white). I don't know for sure but you may have problems if you don't do this.

And another thing: There's terrain deformity and terrain offset. Your offset might be too high of a positive value which is why your water is all underground.

Alright, I've managed to get it to the exact same height as the ground, but it won't go any heigher. Quick question, which of the offset/deformity values do you mean?
