Custom Water Problem

Garry's Mod mapping
#1

Okay i made a custom water texture for a map, The top of the water shows fine but the bottom is just blue…

My VTM for the water texture


"Water"
{
	"$abovewater" 0
	"%compilewater" 1
	"$forceexpensive" 1
	"$reflectentities" 0
	"$envmap" "env_cubemap"
	"%tooltexture" "MRP/sandywater_top"
	"$refracttexture" "_rt_WaterRefraction"
	"$refractamount" "0"

 
	"$normalmap" "MRP/sandywater_normal"

	"$reflecttexture" "_rt_WaterReflection"
	"$reflectamount" "2"

	"$surfaceprop" "water"
	"$bottommaterial" "MRP/sandywater_bottom"
	"$bumpframe" "0"

	"$fogenable" 1
	"$fogcolor" "[63 214 225]"
	"srgb?$fogcolor" "{63 214 225}"
	"$fogstart" -1024
	"$fogend" 0

	"$scroll1" "[.01 .01 .05]"
	"$scroll2" "[-.025 .025 .075]"

	"Proxies"
	{
		"TextureScroll"
		{
			"texturescrollvar" "$bumptransform"
			"texturescrollrate" .01

			"texturescrollangle" 25.00
		}
		"WaterLOD"
		{
		}
			
	}

}

My VTF:

$bottommaterial should reference a VMT, not VTF.

#3

I did that, And now its showing blue and black…

The top of the water is working fine

The bottom now shows as blue and black checkers when looking up.

Post the VMT used by $bottommaterial.

Also, for the above VMT, change $abovewater to “1”.

#5

Okay i did that and instead of showing the checkers it now shows it as black underwater

#6

Post the VMT used by $bottommaterial.

#7

The VMT in the first post is for the bottommaterial if thats what you mean.

#8

I was under the assumption that was for the water surface since it referenced a $bottommaterial. Post both VMTs.

Try taking off force expensive for the bottom material?
