Water

[-<Crazymapper>-]

can brushes be placed in the water brush? I used this in my map and after I compiled it my water surface shows the void, but i'm pretty sure i've cealed this area, it's not a leak... so can this be affected by placing brushes inside the water brush?

[Firefoxx]

The top surface of my water isn't showing. What do i do about putting water on top of displacement surfaces?
EDIT: Fixed, i'm a dumass...

Hello, could someone tell me if its possible to have a water tunnel? or where i may be going wrong.
This is what i got so far, no sign of leaks yet.

The top well is fine, however when i attempt to enter the second further down i notice it is Black and blocked me. any ideas? Ta

thats because its a nodraw texture there. That is solid.

So i guess i should put the water texture on that surface and keep the others as nodraw? I'll give it a bash when i get home.

Only if is a normal BSP brush. Cover (all water) the top the water with a water texture, even if it is in the tunnel. If you make the side water, then it will not look right and the water will not refract right.

1. whats BSP brush?
2. i used the tool/texture application on the top layer of the water only.
3. when i did the top on both brushes i got the black side (nodraw) where they meet.

What should i make the side? i have tried some water textures and gotten access to the water in 2nd brush, but it looks seperate, can i join them up or do i need a particular texture on the side aspect?

[Pig Popper]

SORTED! it seems the problem was there was a gap between the 2 water brushes,
connected them and added a water texture via the tool/texture application to the touching
side of no2 water brush and its fine.



BTW what is a BSP brush

Binary Space Partion, it's the blocks you use to build the world.

Sorry to bump an old tutorial, but I have a simple question that some other people like myself may not understand.

After you make your NoDraw box where you want your water, how do you apply the Pretty01 water texture to just the top?

I downloaded your map and saw that the block had the image of the pretty water texture, but couldn't find how you attached it anywhere.

To apply the texture to 1 face?

Open texture application tool.
Browse textures.
Find the one you want.
Right click on the face to apply the texture to just that face.

You guys are weird... I don't make every other side a nodraw, I just give every side a water texture and it works perfectly fine for me.

Sorry to bump this... but I'm going crazy. I have two water brushes (like in de_port), one in the actual map and one in the 3d sky box. The 3d sky box water works perfectly but however the one in the actual map/world is broken. The water is a solid brush, tried with the water texture applied to the entire brush and also only on the top face- neither work. The brush meets the encompassing sky's toolsskybox. I tried having the water brush simply meet the face of the encompassing skybox and then I also tried providing a solid envelope for the water, textured in toolsblack.

I'm having problems with the water in my map, I might have leaks but, I'm not sure because before I recreated the water it looked a bit different, but still glitchy.

Also, some other Information

I have the water set up correctly I believe (top side has water texture and all the other sides have nodraw)
I have a cube map set up above the water (set to default)
I have used the "buildcubemap" command

Can anyone help me?

It looks like you've got a func_breakable touching the void.

Press Ctrl+Shift+G and use those coordinates to find the offending brush.
