Modelling, or pretty crafty brushwork. I'd go for modelling. Especially since you can animate them. :smile:

If the player won't ever get too close to the waves and will only view them from certain angles, you could perhaps get away with some good texture tricks, but that would be the cheap and ugly way methinks.

I would imagine it'd be better to use some custom sprites something like what is in Minerva 1 with the tide effect.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

overlays/shorewave001a was the way the guy who minereva achieved the
wave effect. Merely put an overlay on the water bursh and you have
standing waves.

*note: this is for standing objects, moving objects wouldnt work with this texture.

Try asking around on CS editing forums, the closest effect i've seen is with the stream on cs_militia in Counter Strike source.

Despite all the advances of the engine, I still reckon pulling off a
convincing waves/water breaking would be a difficult task to achieve.

If you could figure out exactly how explosives make waves in water, you might be able to adapt it to this.
