i have an issue with the scaling of an UE water material that i placed on a static mesh plane. it is too big and needs to be scaled up to simulate more realistic water conditions. the material comes standard in UE and is placed on a static mesh plane (standard in UE) that i scaled up. peep the attachment. how do i fix this issue? any help is good help - i am almost ready to publish this bad boy...thanks.

Firstly, very interesting layout there... I thought it was CTF map on first-glance though...
Anyways, yeah, there's quite a few quick and simple ways you can resolve the scaling issue. The most flexible, though, would be to make a duplicate of the material in your level package and adjust the scaling values in the TexCoord node.
Remember, to duplicate a cooked material in UT3 you need to open it in the material editor, and copy-paste all the nodes into your new material.

The other alternative is to make a BSP plane, scale the texture as you want it then convert that to a static mesh in your package.
Thats an unusual layout for DM, symmetric and all.
Another alternative-alternative is to use the SM_WaterPlane_02 (its a static mesh) in the LT-Onyx package, this can be scaled up to like 20000 without looking weird texture-wise, just chose a suitable material from the UN-Liquid or Liquid2 packages. Its easier than the other options too B-)
In use: (scalled up by like 25,000 (or something))
