getHeigth() equation is wrong

Hi,

My floating ships are almost always being drawn ON TOP of the water, even though they are supposed to be partially submerged.
i.e. you can't see the waterline.
Non-floating things below the water look as they should.
After some tinkering I have discovered that the Hydrax::getHeigth() function is not using the same equation as the actual waves so is returning incorrect heights.

have you been Able to fix this somehow?

no, I just tried to work around it; I tinkered with the waves until they matched more closely to the [sic] getHeigth() function. It looks okay 70% of the time - I think the error is more obvious in my simulation because I am using a scale of 1 Ogre unit = 1 meter, and the plugin doesn't scale well down to this level.

I've tested in a lot of situations the getHeigth() function and I've always got the expected results, so it seems odd, check if your simulation is correct and if it's, just build a little app which reproduces the error otherwise I wont be able to debug it.

I'm short of time at the moment but as far as I can remember... there seem to be 2 surfaces to the water. One has the actual detailed wave geometry, and another one seems to control the overall flow of the water and some shader/light/reflection stuff. Because of the scale that I'm using it was *very* tricky to get the two surfaces to match up closely. When I looked into the code last year the getheigth() function was returning the height of the smoother underlying surface and not the detailed waves. Hope that helps!
