[Community Project] WIP Weather & Ocean Water Shader

[Fisher007]

Well I have no problems at all by using the link earlier in this thread with the latest unreal.

How did you manage to open it? To me, it says that the following modules are missing or made with a different engine version and shows 2 DLLs. It offers to recompile, but fails. I tried to open the sln file in Visual Studio, right clicked on the project and pressed rebuild. That failed as well. I'm not a programmer so I have no idea if I did something wrong, I tried to figure out the steps reading other people's posts here.
Also, I checked Github and saw that there is a pull request and people say that I can download that, but failed to find any way to do so. I see only one download button on the main page. (I have never used Github either) If you or somebody could upload a working 4.14 or 4.15 version somewhere easily reachable place, that would be super awesome!

Hi thanks for this great project
Any chance the project will be updated for unreal 4.14 or 4.15 ?
It would be awsome ! Thanks again

Hello,
Thanks for sharing this codes, I want to get Maximum / Minimum of Sun Altitude at starting of day (at 00:00:00) but i don't know how to calculate that, that would be great for any solution ....

The 4.12 branch on the repo is misnamed, it is 4.15 compatible. I assume, in the same vein, that the commit before the 4.15 one is 4.14 compatible

make sure planer reflections is on

Thanks, i have in ON planar reflections but small objects near to water are not appear in reflections, only small objects far away from water appear, i try diferrent settings for planar reflection but none works.

that is weird, i just remoted to my dev machine from work and i do not have this issue.
im still using 4.14 because of the loss in 4.15 right now ... but .. i didnt notice it. If someone wants to test 4.15 for this, they can. You would have to wait for me to build a 4.15 setup to get ya a real answer

Looks like the problem is the distance of planar reflection component to water surface, when i move near this to the water level the reflections appear but too appear random dark (dirty) zones (reflections) in the water. Possibly are reflection of the water in the same water, any way to disable this?, thanks.

adding Ocean to hide actor in planar reflections component the problem is solved, thanks Angrytoilet.

you can select the reflection comp and make the distance massive if you wanted.... that should cover you lol
i had to make mine 6x bigger to cover out my entire playable ocean area

I updated my fork of OceanProject plugin with these fixes:
(I'm not sure why they weren't picked up for merge, but still, this allowed me to clean them up )

Updated to Visual Studio 2017
Added user folder from VS2017 to .gitignore
Fixed many errors and warnings
Changed M_Ocean_SSR Reflection Cubemap param from Color to Linear Color
Changed ThirdPersonCharacter GrabComponentAtLocation node with GrabComponentAtLocationWithRotation. Left the rotation data as default (0,0,0).
Deleted broken BP_SkyOLD (Replaced with BP_Skydome). Removed together auxiliary WB_SkyOLD_HUD debug widget.
Deleted Old versions of the ManOfWar meshes (they were messing up the build tool and weren't referenced anywhere)
Updated BP_Rivertool, replacing the deprecated functions
Replaced View.ViewSizeAndSceneTexelSize.xy with an external node in M_PP_RadialBlur
Updated OceanShaderEnum.uasset to UE4.15
Updated README.md to show features added in UE4.12 and that it is updated to UE4.15
Merged with base OceanProject repository
Merged my changed with base OceanProject repository

Also removed RuntimeMeshComponent plugin (Which I forgot to include in the changelog).

If anyone had cloned my fork, I apologize for the mess in there. The master change in the main repository caused tons of conflicts in my fork. (They changed the master branch).
My 4.12 branch is probably kinda messed up, but I managed to fix my 4.15 branch and submitted a pull request.

Link to my pull request: https://github.com/UE4-OceanProject/...roject/pull/35

Comments and fixes are welcome, as always
