Water problem!

im not sure what's causing it but i have this problem with water in tunnels having weird FUGLY lines on the sides.. i tried changing shape of brushes, changing the water texture - what am i doing wrong?

edit: they are much uglier in game :biggrin:

make the water brush a bit larger than the hallway. If that is the case then make them flush with the inside.

i tried making the brushes go out into the walls - didnt help, i put em back in - and its the same, :sad:

Its to do with your graphics card, water has that line at the edge when rendered on any DX8 graphic card, so if your is at DX8 that explains it other wise...

No it's not, unless you're referring to hardware-DX8, as I'm getting that problem with my high-end PC (though I've noticed some water textures don't cause that)

I have a DX9 card...

i guess ill try more water textures?

This is just a guess, but thinking about how the shader probably draws
the reflection, it might be looking "inside" those brushes (like you'd
noclipped into the side of them) due to slight errors. So maybe the
grey noise you're getting at the edges is actually a reflected view of
what's behind those green walls.

Not sure how you could fix that, without putting an unlit/black box
around the map. Probably using a different water texture is a better
solution. Maybe the shader on some water materials works differently.

i tried putting unlighted pieces right outside of this tunnel, i tried
changing the textures many times, i tried raising the water level (you
can drown in it now when you're crouching :biggrin: ) i tried changing around
the env cubemap.

none of this makes a difference to the evul lines.

its okay to extend the water brush into the solid geometry, just do that and you might get the effect you desire.

That won't work.

But if it does, I'll eat my leppery hat.

sorry that doesnt change anything

ITS CURSED?!?!?
