(NOOB) water problem^^

[mtin]

so erm, maybe this has been asked 100000 times before...pls dont flame me

I just can't see the water from above...only when you are in the water you can see it (from underneath)
what did I do wrong? (had that error before, just can't remind of what i changed...)

 

[short recoil]

tell me exactly how you made that water brush.

 

[eddie500]

type water in the search box under mapping and i bet you find your answer

 

[mtin]

erm, a search did'nt help me... :rolling:
and i just noticed, my compile log looks a LITTLE BIT strange :cheese:

can anybody explain the error messages?

there cannot be a single whole in your level, 1 little sliver will indeed mess your water up. you also have to make sure your water is in a perfect container and all sides are covered. if it still doesnt work add a bottom to the water.

the water is tricky to figure out in source but it will be worth it.

 

[mtin]

erm, what do you mean with a "hole"?
I'm pretty sure my water sits in a nive container, only the top face of the water block has the water texture on it, the rest -> nodraw and the container also has a bottom...

 

[Limpet]

Do a bsp compile (bsp: Normal, vis and rad: no, dont run game after comple)
Then goto Map>Load Pointfile
If you can't find a file name YOURMAP.lin then you dont have a hole (or leak). Where YOURMAP is the name of your map at the time.
Im not sure if its necessary to do the compile before you load the pointfile.

If Hammer loads one up look around for a red line that will appear in your map and usually zigzags around. Follow it and look for any part of the line that either goes through a brush or outside your level through a gap between brushes. It'll go through a brush if you have a detail brush with no solid world brushes surrounding it to seal off the inside from the outside. (You know about leaks right?)

 

[mtin]

no I dont know about leakds :stare:
but I'll try to do what you said

EDIT: yeah there is a red line, it goes from a tree (prop_static) just outside of my map....

EDIT: heres a picture:

what should i do now?

 

[mtin]

nevermind, fixed all the leaks, ensured that the water really fits PERFECTLY into its container and now it works

thx for your help!
