thats what it looks like for me when im using watervis 1 and r_wateralpha 0.9-0..

on dm2 both the lava and the water looks screwed but on dm7 the water
is perfect. i suspect its when the map have lava in it that it screws up Sad

it feel just the same as when u are outside a map and the screen isnt
cleared so when u turn it starts to paint or something.

to use wateralpha you need to use either a vis'd map or r_novis 1. r_novis 1 is a lot slower than using a vis'd map.

i've thought about this before

if serverinfo watervis 1, is set on the server, can u make the software client optionally remove any water/lava textures from the map? like the old waterhack used to do to the maps themselves but done in client so as not to alter the checksum

the quakeworld.nl ctf server runs with watervis enabled and its a bit of a bugger playing on there with software vs gl ppl

it would seem a fair evening up of the clients when watervis is turned on

of course programming the sw renderer to cope with alpha would be even better :)

Oft: It would look much nicer with watervis 1 on all (or atleast some)
public servers. looks very strange with a solid texture thats supposed to
look like water Mad

If fuhquake supports halflife levels with all thier transparent textures and stuff, shouldn't it be really easy to tweek the client to force transparent water on normal levels? Or am I missing something blatently obvious?

i think servers should enable watervis. from my experience u cannot see players/objects through the water .. only world textures ??!?

or does it have somethign to do with "knowing where someone is" like seeing them.. then submerging ... then u can still aim where they were??

or did i just make my whole arguement invalid lol.
