Water is white and completely wont render.

[rhys]

As you can see from the screenshots, the water in my map wont render.

Before you respond:

• I have no leaks
• I did run my compile log through Interlopers and it gave me this:

  You have entered a skybox texture which doesn't seem to be valid. Make sure you don't specify the last three letter (_UP, _DN, etc) of any skybox texture you use. You may also need to fix your vmt files if they are broken. It may also be caused by compiling a non-HDR skybox texture.

  And changing the skybox texture didn't change anything.
• I only have one water brush.
• Only the top has the water texture and every other side is nodraw
• The water is flat
• I am in dx8 but there are cubemaps are present so that shouldn't be a problem
• The water texture is water/water_well
• The brush is a world brush.

What water texture do you have?

What water texture do you have?

water/water_well
I have tried a lot of tf water textures and they all didnt work.

The only other thing i can think of is if the brush is not a world brush.

The brush is a world brush... thanks anyway.

What skybox are you using?

A lot of this seems narrowed down but I would ask you to move the pool of water somewhere else or completely remaking it in a different location to see what effect that would have. This may be something visleaf related.

i have had this problem alot in the past... the thing that was causing it for me was a leak... check your pointfile

By any chance, do you have a sky_camera entity inside the main map? I remember another user having this problem before, and it turns out it was because he placed his sky_camera in the main map instead of the 3D skybox where it belongs.

My solution is a bit stupid but It happened to me one time. Do you have a water_lod_control entity? One time I forgot to put it in and the water did not render.

vbsp is supposed to put that in for you. But it doesn't hurt to manually add it.
