mapping water

[tehshamed]

Hey there!
Ok, I was working on my new map and wanted to add a bit with water. (which I've successfully done before, so its not like I have no idea what I'm doing), but it just seemed to project the skybox below it.
Any ideas?

We have visual:

Where the skybox starts is where the water should start.
(running ep 2 engine for the map)
Thanks in advance! :D

What water texture are you using?
And post your compile log so we can check it for errors (put it in

 tags to make it easier to read)

Verify the water material, make sure the whole brush is textured with nodraw except for the top face (which should be textured with water), try placing an env_cubemap, run buildcubemaps in the console, check your GMod Graphic Settings, and make sure the whole map is skyboxed off with no leaks.

You have a leak.

thanks a bunch, found and fixed :]

[QUOTE=laptopman;18157211]-snip- Facepunch fail ninjas.[/QUOTE]

was that really necessary?

[Stupideye]

To check if you have leaks, go to "Tools" (I think its that one) and go to "Load Pointfile". If Hammer doesn't find a pointfile, you have no leaks, if it does, find the red line, and it will lead you to your leak.

oh, ill remember that. thanks! :]

Also note that the only way to generate a pointfile is to actually compile first.
