I fully compiled a map im working on and when i went ingame to test it looking for bugs i noticed the Waters surface wasnot rendering out how eer if i enter the water the water is there as if you are under water like normal. ive used 2 diffrent water textures now and theres been no change. anyideas why this is?
How did you did the water? We need more info.
A leak, and this should be in the mapping section.
You might have a leak, check for "***LEAKED***" in your compile log, if you have a leak, load your pointfile and fix it.
- errr... simple nodraw box with the water texture applyed to the top face. Its set in a pond like shape thats been made by geometry displacement
- No leaks.
current texture: nature/water_canals03

FIXED
nature/water_canals03 is a high detailed texture not suported by hl2dm for somreason i changed to a dx70 texture and it works fine.
You're saying you made the Water a displacement? That won't work. At, all.
You need the water on all the sufaces of the brush, not just the top. Also make sure you add a env_cubemap and a water_lod_control and place them both on the surface of the water.
Build map, then build cubemaps, and try it out.

For somone that calls them self 'GameDev' you sure know nothing.
A water brush only needs the water texture applyed to the faces that are seen by the player.
So my pond is only visable on the top layer so i apply the water texture to the top of the brush. This helps with optmization too.
Try it you may have just learnt somthing new.
also i know to add 'water_lod_control' and 'env_cubemap'.
Also! if you had read my last post proply too you would have noticed i fixed it and gave a beif reason y the problem occured.
This happens if I compile the map with Run VIS set to No. Set it to fast or normal

someone please lock this ><
Except the texture is supported in hl2dm, you have a leak, open up the pointfile and fix it.

DX9 water textures don't render when you have a leak, DX7 ones do
Also this should be in the mapping section

well when the problem occured no point file was generated and plus i use valve batch compile tool which actually doesnt let you compile the map if there is a leak.
also the mapping section is in GMOD section and this is HL2DM related.
The mapping sections allows anything with source engine

Who said I was a Dev for Valve? I'm an independent iPhone developer. Way to jump to conclusions..
Post your compile logs from before, with [CODE] tags wrapped around them.
Displacements don't seal the map.
Also, the mapping section is very lenient on what you're mapping for. You should go there as well.
