GRARATDFUASGDUAGSDJJAIS! (beeep beeep)

ok....ok im gonna clam down now here is the situation:

I've tried making water in a new map. but i still have the same problem, my water doesn't reflect, its not transparent and it doesn't look like im underwater when i am, spare the bubbles and sound.

I have env cubemap with the top face set, i have lod water controll, i have perfect fitting container, i have no leaks, i have nodraw on all faces execpt the top of the warter, i have the canals 3 texture selected and i have used crt t on the brush and set to func analouge water. My map itslef has a ground, and 4 walls and celling, all but ground is 2d skybox texture, ground is a dirt texture, MY WATER IS STILL BLACK!, you can only just make out it is water from outside. Doe's anyone know what the hell is wrong? I've listened and read like 6 water tuts and i've done exactly what they've said. This is just messed up now.

Can any of you guys PLEASE help me out, this is gustrating em so much and just completely gimping any progress for me to make on my map! This is also true of all my maps, water just doesn't like me it seems


thanks, rob.

Are you using the correct water texture?

Are you running VVIS?

i've tried lots if textures its not that

but no im not running vvis as far as i know, what is this and where can i get it and what does it do?

 

[Rogue Sniper]

No VVIS = No correct water

Run on Fast or Normal

 

[RobInactive]

nope thats turned to normal in the compiler, still getting this problem

so the top is not a water texture but go underneath its just like water?

if thats the case then you have a leak.

try using liquids/waterpretty (or prettywater) and make sure you dont have leaks.

nah its not that problem. I see the water on top, but its totaly not see-through, not translucent or opaque at all. It also doesn't reflect at all, it looks like a disgusting black pool of surup. But there are waves in it you can just make out, and shooting it ripples. Undernearth it looks like theres no water, except the sound goes weird like underwater and bubbles appear, but theres no change in the sight, ie you shouldn't be able to see far underwater it should quickly turn blue, this is not present. And lastly when you look up at the surface you see very similar to what i described it looked like from above. I also don't have any leaks.

 

[Rogue Sniper]

well hmm, if dont have leaks, done water by the books, used the right texture and its still coming up messed up then I would say that its not the map but the game its self.

Try loading other levels to see if its happening on them too?

 

[RobInactive]

oh yeah sorry maybe i didn't make it clear enough, i have this problem with all my water in the mpas I've tried to make. Just a side note, when i try and do buildcubemaps in console while playing i get the bounce error thing;

Current mod isn't in a subdirectory of "game"!
bounce: 1/1 sample: 1/35

this is true of every 2d skybox i try

 

[Rogue Sniper]

Hmm never heard of that happening

You may just have to reinstall your map editor to fix the issue.
