Adding Water

[Renegade87]

How do you add water such as ariver or lake in the maps. I just enf up with a river bed when I load it up. Do i require a bmp water file or something?

In what context are you refering.

There is and SMD tag to specify the water textuer, which overides the default water texture (useful for lava), "WaterTexture=mywatertexture.jpg;"

When creating a map, any height under 0 will be rendered as water, usually accomplished by a negative -n value.

edit: I figured out what you are asking... a negative min height will do it (-n value)... basically if you have a map and you set m to 200 and n to -100, 33% grey is your sea level.

im refering to water when creating the map. I use black on the heightmaps for place i want to add water, I assume I would get a -n value if i set my min height in the map conv or in l3dt to say -70?

sorry... didn't notice your reply before editing

negative n value in mapconv, 0 is water line, so if you put -70 as you min and 70 as your height, 50% grey would be your waterline and everything darker underwater, so yes, black would be water...
