Just wondering if this was possible. The name says it all: geothermal vents that are underwater (giving off bubbles instead of smoke). Would be fun for water maps methinks

They can be placed underwater.. it would just need a underwater Geobuilding..

If the vent was on its last legs and was giving off almost nothing then it would form bubbles, otherwise it'd operate similair to a vent in open air in appearance. In this case bubbles can be likened to 'puffs of smoke', and I wouldnt expect them to look quite like bubbles if they werent colourless when at those depths and pressures either.

Are you sure of that? Last i've tried with maps, if a Geo spot hapened to be below water, there wouldn't show up nothing there.

You have to raise the water level later with SMFED which is included in this package: http://www.unknown-files.net/index.php? ... &dlid=1725

That is not fixed, that is hacky work-around. Leave this thread now for we shall not tolerate such things.

Also can mapper currently define the texture for the smoke?

It works as a optical gimmick... but the problem is that it is currently rendered over the water - so the Geos are visible no matter how reflections of the water are...
