Hey guys,

i've got a problem (again :rolleyes:). I'm making a small tunnel of displacements and a small part of the ground should be filled with water.

The problem is, that i can hear the water sounds while walking over it and the splashes which are created by shooting at it are visible, but the water itself is invisible.





Thanks in advance!

Nim

Are you running VVIS at all when compiling?

Also are you sure you're using a working water texture?

Try other water textures and make sure only top face have water texture on it.

I tried it with water_2fort, doublecross, hydro and well, or short: All water textures of TF2

Tie the water brush to a func_water_analog entity

Let us know if it does not work.

Thanks, that fixed it!

If that looks good, go for it, but I think it's addressing the symptom rather than the cause.

In TF2, there are two kinds of water. "Expensive" (like in 2fort) where you have ripples and refraction. Then there's "cheap" water, which has no ripples and is "flatter". By using func_water_analog, you're forcing it into cheap-mode.

Due to some engine limitations, you cannot have two bodies of expensive water that (A) have different surface-heights (B) can be seen at the same time from a spot in your map.

Make sure all your water has the same surface height, or ensure that your map (may require using hint brushes) is set up so that nobody can see both of them at once.

Post the compile log when it isn't water_analog.
