the only way to delete the normal map of the water is to manually delete the texture from the roblox player files. this is the closest thing to actually good ssr puddles but unfortunately theres nothing else to do until roblox adds the ability to retexture the water.

@@exolyne. Yeah, I've seen this method, and it is unfortunate that we have to resort to such things just to get a cool effect. Honestly, everything will change if they ever add water as a material you can just use. The only other issue I can think of with that method is the performance cost. I ran into huge FPS dips when trying to use water instead of glass

@@fantasti3620 must be something on your end unfortunately. My game is currently up and playable and it's not broken there. Make sure you check the steps thoroughly to make sure you didn't miss something.

@@toysRrobloxYT Raise your studio render graphics settings. They need to be at least 17 or 18 I believe. So setting it to 21 should work

Wait, so if you create it at 21 setting, will others even see it? Like mobile players?

@@adil9606 I'll have some seamless interiors, such as stores, the bank, and some other functional buildings sprinkled in like the club, although that one isn't seamless, but all apartments work exactly the same as GTA. You claim a room, and entering it transports you inside with a transition. That's where you'll go to start jobs and view daily quests

@@blaux that is a golden game then hope you succeed !!! (remember me lol)

@@flop.a Don't worry, for the past couple months I've been working on the biggest update that will include intelligent NPC's, and a lot of bug fixing. It's still nowhere near release state, but I'd rather at least let people enjoy the exploration aspect of it for now

@@flop.a I would like to know your opinion on things you want to see changed, I don't actually get much feedback on this project

@@blaux that’s great to hear! and also absolutely, i’ll give you some feedback. first of all, and i haven’t actually tested this myself, is layered clothing, bundles, basically anything that can be very large and makes it harder to aim at people. so don’t allow these if you can. second, which can be bad in some way because this can make hitboxes smaller, is to remove avatar height limitations. third, which doesn’t really bother me, or i think any players in general and only needed a rework if you want to polish the game more is animations. fourth, add a medkit and or bandages. pretty much all i have to say. also i’m sorry if there are any grammatical errors, i am not a native speaker and yes the no capitalizations is intentional. anyway i hope you find anything useful and cya.

@@zachariestudio Make sure your studio quality settings are set to 21. A friend of mine had this setting reset and he thought it was patched, but after changing that setting quickly returned.

@@blaux I Did, but it’s not like a mirror, it stays as the same effect at the start

@@JoopRBLX just did it. Check your studio quality settings. Make sure they are at 21, otherwise you won't get the reflection

@@blaux Thanks now it works.

@@damian-ps3jz we can only hope

I'll be working on an update that makes this trick more versatile, but given the limitations of the engine I think this is currently the best you can get. If you want to do this with nice PBR textures, I recommend taking existing ones and just modifying the color map to add the empty space for the puddles

@@blaux what about the other texture parts tho like roughness

taking notes

will you be trying volumetric effects? i went down a roblox graphical glitch rabbithole

Woah 22 hours ago o_O

@@lossycompressed where

i’ll 3089 your asimo

you just saved your game

@@lossycompressed yeah. Originally I didn't plan for this game to be anything big. But ACS was genuinely a limitation.

W

@@user-unavailable I'll be trying to find a way to do that, so far no luck since the glass bug doesn't play nice with meshes

@@blaux ok

@@blixoon7403 Make sure you're using a part when making glass, not a mesh part.

Dang I got to try that

I ran into a small issue, When trying to download a texture, It just saved the image right away when I pressed enter instead of being able to change the name and stuff, any ideas?

@@araresuI don't have any ideas, but did the glass work for you? For me, it didn't work. Again, sorry for not being able to help.

@@14A013 Yeah it works, you need to change your studio settings though, theres a setting called editor quality level, set it to 16

@@araresu just rename the file after it has been downloaded. adding ".png" to the file name is simply a way of telling an OS/any other system what the file extension is without having to check it in the actual file itself

@@livyanna I actually just started this project messing around with the city template you can get on Roblox when you make a new place. As for the wet look, you can accomplish that by using a surface appearance with a high-contrast texture set for the roughness map. I actually just play around with random images until I get my desired effect. I appreciate the kind words and can't wait for you to see the end results 🙏🏻

@@VladoZ_official Might have to change studio render quality in settings.

@@blaux i select 21

@@VladoZ_official still works

@@pessima_rbx Can you tell me more about how to implement this?

there was something like this for a long time now. back then people just use terrain water just thinly layered over the surface to actually reflect stuff (but its best used only if the map is like one flat floor). also this glass bug is not ssr, its a buggy refraction

@@lambdadelta821 Yeah I know it’s not true SSR, but it’s pretty goddamn convincing if you don’t look too close. It adds a lot to little things like water

@@defenestratorr yea true, this bug actually works really well on some maps

it doesnt work for me idk y

@@GamerTheMexican It works for me now, You just have to set the graphics level to 16 ahead

That was the first thing I thought lol

Maybe he's trying to make a place for himself on this kids platform to found something he likes .

@@African-AmericanGoosemake you sense no

@@localscriptedthe penguinz situation is crazy

@@African-AmericanGoose I've looked at this comment for like three minutes and I still can't understand what it's trying to say

btw the game ur making looks similar to mine 😭

@@KimWon-Il haha oops

Some people don't like to buy a solution to a problem they already bought.

@@blaux some people need to get real with themselves and realise that the fix is not going to last forever. Once you do this you are going to have problems again in the near future. You get the new tech for example v3 pro and you are set for next 2,3 years etc

The road is built in segments rather than stretching parts. You can find the exact assets by creating a new game and selecting the city template. The city template is what I started messing around with when I made this project.

I did it for each unique texture. The intersection and the main roads were the only two textures, and they are repeated. The textures were designed to be seamless, so they can connect

@@blaux thanks a lot for the quick response and information!! I can't wait to see how your project ends up looking like!

Thanks man! It'll be a while before an official release, but there's going to be a ton of stuff to do​@@luxor4804
