Transparent water for my Quake map

[dfsp_spirit]

How do I get transparent water for the Quake map I'm currently working on?

I found this article via google, it suggests to use these tools. Is that up-to-date and the way to go? Or should I use anything else instead?

I think you can VISpatch it when you finish...
i used VISpatch to get transparent water in my ID1 maps...
uhm. Or try to edit it with GTKradiant, i heard it can do this work

So you used the tools from that website I linked?

(The map is finished.)

Just use -transwater as parameter for qbsp

Also, transparent water is not default (like in TxQBSP), but can be enabled via the "-transwater" option. Beware of the performance hit in some maps.

The so called vis-patch is only needed for already compiled maps that were not originally compiled to be used with transparent water..

Thanks for the info.
