and PS +JuggerNaut+
Sorry wasnt trying to piss you off lol

[+JuggerNaut+]

you can't figure out filedropper, but you can make a map? that's like a kid who knows how to make a volcano in grade school science class, but can't zip up his own pants.

well, at least something worked for you.

[obsidian]

Juggs, you still can't zip up your own pants.

[ix-ir]

But he has great juggs.

Darklord: the map file there wont download for me. The bsp worked though so I'll have a look.

Ok looked, so - there are some missing textures. On water you need to put something called water caulk on the sides you don't want to have the water surface. Water needs to be lower than the brushes it meets or you will see the curve of the shader.

[bork[e]]

it worked fine for me, I just clicked the download all button at the top right.

[TheDarklord]

caulk_water I was told to use it when I first asked how to make water but I dont have it on my GTKradiant I have uninstalled it and reinstallled it 2times and just figured it was a myth...lol I wish thair was some way to take a screen shot of my desk top so I could show you guys.

[fKd]

hit the print screen button, then open a gfx prog and go new and ctrl + v and booya ya got one

[TheDarklord]

Ok I know you guys are gonna laugh at me for this one but I cant find a print screen in GTKradiant and whats a GFX prog? (0).(0)

[+JuggerNaut+]

print screen button on your keyboard. "gfx prog" is a graphics program: paint, irfanview, photoshop, etc.

no, no laughing. too late for that now.

[TheDarklord]

lol sweet got it thanx

[TheDarklord]

ok well I couldnt upload the picture to this site so here is a link to my screen shot missing the caulk_water

water_caulk isn't a default Q3 shader. You have to add it yourself. It's basically the "nodraw" shader except with "surfaceparm water" added to it. Open up common.shader and find the "nodraw" shader. Copy the entire nodraw shader and paste it at the end of the shader file. Rename it as water_caulk, change the qer_editorImage value to point to some water_caulk texture (make one yourself) and then most importantly, add surfaceparm water to it.

I'd post up the shader and texture myself, but I'm on my Mac right now and can't get to my normal developer stuff on the other computer.

[TheDarklord]

ok I did this with no image cause I wasnt sure how to add one

textures/common/caulk_water
{
surfaceparm nodraw
surfaceparm nolightmap
surfaceparm nonsolid
surfaceparm trans
surfaceparm nomarks
surfaceparm water
}

and I fell through to the void LMAO!!!
Am I close I hope?

[obsidian]

You do have a floor under the water, right?
