Description
In BeamNG, the waves on the sea are just a picture. Boats float on a flat surface while the water around them moves. Wave Physics makes the waves you see actually push floating objects, so boats, logs, barrels, and balls rise on the crests and sink into the troughs together with the water.

Features
- Wave forces for everything that floats in the game: boat mods, standard logs, barrels, balls, and tires.
- Custom water shader ensures the waves you see and the physics are always in sync.
- Long swell all the way to the horizon.
- Calm water near the shore: waves get smaller where the water is shallow.
- Waves rock ships without carrying them away; the water and forces only move up and down.

Sea states
- Map default — whatever the map maker set, usually light waves.
- Calm — small waves, about 0.2 m from crest to trough.
- Swell — long rolling waves, about 2 m.
- Rough — stormy sea, up to about 4 m.
Your choice is saved for every map with a sea. When you switch, the old waves fade out and the new ones fade in over a few seconds.

Settings
Modslab Hub is already included, so Wave Physics gets its own tab (press G). There you can change the sea state, wave force, the water shader, calm water near the shore, water depth for full waves, the physics mode, and toggle the mod on or off.

Maps
Works on any map with a sea (e.g., West Coast USA, Italy, Jungle Rock Island, Small Island, and East Coast USA). Lakes, pools, and rivers stay the same.

Good to know
- Light open boats (like a 54 kg kayak) are fine in Calm and Swell, but can flip over in Rough.
- The game's own water drag still thinks the water is standing still, so boats react to the biggest waves a bit late, and in Rough a big ship slowly drifts.
- Performance cost is about 0.1% of one CPU core for a small boat, 0.4% for a 44 m ferry, and 2% for a raft of 14 logs.

Installation Instructions
Requires BeamNG.drive 0.39. Modslab Hub is included. Unpack the "Wave Physics UNZIP MODLAND.NET.zip" archive and place its contents in your mods folder.
