Use an actual texture, not caulk.
Code: Select all
// Obsidian: 2 usages for watercaulk depending on water brush complexity
// SIMPLE WATER BRUSHES - use watercaulk on faces between water brushes
// COMPLEX WATER BRUSHES - overlap complex water brushes with watercaulk
// water shader should be nodraw, nonsolid, trans, *sans-water*
textures/common/watercaulk
{
qer_trans 0.5
surfaceparm nodraw
surfaceparm nonsolid
surfaceparm trans
surfaceparm water
}
Texture (TGA - right-click, save as):

BTW, the main problem with your water is that it's not large enough, so the waveform tessellations of the water surface ripples along the bottom and sides, which is why you see those "gaps". Ideally this is fixed with water caulk, or you can make the water a little larger so it extends a little past the boundaries of the pool.

As the shader itself states, textures/common/
Since it is an editor only shader (won't show up in game) you do NOT need to include it with your PK3 when you are finished with your map.
