I'm having this issue with invisible water. It ends up looking like a nodraw. There are no leaks that I'm aware of, and there's no pointfile. http://content.screencast.com/users...9a-fc02-4d39-bfc0-1bc45be5e273/waterisgay.png
Hrm. Got me stumped. I can only suggest that you recompile w/out running tf2, recheck for pointfiles, and try re-making the water :/
Okay, recompiled. Compile log error checker said the only error was compiling in fastmode, but I just did that to test it. Still no pointfile, still the broken water. EDIT: Remade the brush from scratch, still doing it
If the water brush is actually there (you can swim in it, etc), it's a leak. If it's anything else, I suppose it's something with VVIS; post the compile log.
Check the list of requirements on this list and make sure you've followed them all. I'm not sure if they're all strictly necessary to make the water show up, but it can't hurt to make sure.

Patching WVT material: maps/achievement_chambers_v49/dev/dev_blendmeasure2_wvt_patch Patching WVT material: maps/achievement_chambers_v49/dev/dev_blendmeasure_wvt_patch Thats a strange thing...never seen that before Besides that, there doesn't seem to to be anything I can find in the Compile log... Besides the fact it needs optimization. (Read this, it should start you off). Try a different texture besides the well one.
It's very poorly optimized, I just can't seem to learn how to do it. Thanks for the link, and okay. EDIT: Okay so I compiled with different textures, still no luck. Could this have anything to do with it?
