Title: those fountain things
Post by: Sarras Volcae on August 29, 2009, 05:14:20 am

what are those fountain things scattered around Hydlaa? they have three faucets on each side and hold nasty green water. is it a drinking fountain, just some faucets, Yliakum's equivalent to a fire hydrant or urinals or what?  ;D  ???

I think they are for providing clean fresh water, as its medieval type times, and there is no piped water to houses.

I believe the green tint may just be a flaw - it might look better some day when special shaders could be used for water surfaces...

A source for drinking and fire fighting water are possibly the best reasons.

Furthermore, aren't they a source of nice ambience? Calm citizen are happy citizen. ;)

You can change the "fountain_01v01c" packed in hydlaa_common, maybe paint it a little more blue ;)
I played around with the textures many months ago, here you can find a Screenshot (http://frupic.frubar.net/fullsize/8818)

I have only found 2 so far and both don't have descriptions
