(Constra) #1

Hello!

I add a brush and add water texture but in-game i can walk on the water??
Look at .map file here:

i haven’t downloaded your map but i would be willing to guess that your water texture does not have a shader that makes your brush actually act like water

Well how can i do it?:smiley:

You can make water with 2 possible ways
Water texture must have shader When water texture is in white square ( in Radiant ), it is with shader and If you click on texture ( in Radiant ) shift + left click , shader file pop up

2 ways of make water

1 - use from common - texture nodraw water and on the up apply your water texture

2- use only your water texture

Sorry for my English

may I ask how you made this terrain, with what program?

For the water:

Whatever you want your water to be, select it, (
Shift + Left Mouse Button)

Apply the nodraw_water texture in textures/common

Then, deselect it (ESC?) and select the face (Ctrl+Shift+Left Mouse button) you want to see as water (Normally the top one, unless you want the water going up a wall or something :slight_smile: )

Apply whatever texture you want to that one, as this is the texture you will see.

Dont you have to make new brush to make water?

I thought you had already made your water, but yeah, make a new one or use a old one, doesn’t really matter :slight_smile:

This picture has been taken under water…
Can anyone tell me why cant i see water under it???

use texture from common - nodraw water ( water effect under water )
and on the up aply your water texture.
i saw some mappers ( 2BIT and his map Luddendorf ) he is using under water also fog and it looks very realistics.

I know that i put the texture up…I can see the water when i look at it outside.But when i look up in water i cant see it.

here is the water i took under water in seawall battery…
See whats the diffrence???I cant see the water when i am underneath the water…

the water texture shader must have those syntax :

Surfaceparm Water
Surfaceparm trans

(DerSaidin) #13

Just use an existing water shader as a base for your own. Then you should have all the parameters you need.

(Constra) #14

Well,i make a brush,put the water texture on it (in common)and then i select the upper face and then i choose the texture to the upper face…and what then??

(DerSaidin) #15

What texture do you put on the upper face?

(Flippy) #16

Idd, not all textures in Liquids or Liquids_sd have correct shaders (or any shader at all)

I believe you can see if a texture has a shader when there is a white line around it in the texture viewer, right?
But even then you would have to look this shader up or just try it to see if it works properly.

I use sea_bright_na on my upper face.

can someone send a prefab of the water so it will work and look like in Seawall battery?? I cant get it working… please some one could make it and place it here? Thanks! :slight_smile:

(Constra) #19

Me too :slight_smile:

And how can i set my water to move too?
Right now its just just in 1 place.

here is map water1 for you, ready for compiling . I was using textures from battery, battery wall, liquids, liquids sd and sky from fueldump, hope that you have all textures like I
