that looks awesome, what sort of trail do the ships leave?
Question was never answered. And the answer would have been that they are the same.
What about the dynamic water's splashes and trails which IMO look great? Is it a layer with a nice looking texture which repeats?
Can't that be added to bumpmapped water?
P.S. I haven't tested SVN versions so I don't know whenever a new graphic has been added.

According to
that video, speedballs water was already a shiny shade of grey under Cabbage's settings.

And have the camera bump up and down very highly when you scroll.
Note: I, too, would like the ability to make non watery-looking water.

So, basically, you want it to look like water, but without any distortion or specularity.
You want it to hurt Units that go there, and have a graphical effect to show people where the dangerous stuff is.
Lua. Use the Fog Widget and use a Gadget to periodically hurt Units that go into the "acid" level.
Or use the approach I'll be showing off in World Builder in a couple of weeks, as part of the first update for P.U.R.E..

The fog gadget is really annoying as it hides unit commands.

That's probably just a z-order issue. May not be fixable without changing when the commands are drawn, since that's still being done in-engine, and not in a Widget.

It is strange that I sometimes seem to end threads or get ignored.

Oh my god it's true. I am invisible and I end threads!
I will double post and noone still won't notice.
I should stop talking to myself.
I feel so ALONE!
