Yama: Speaking of water textures, have you done anything with the ones I sent you, because if you havn't I could perhaps give you an updated version. I re-worked the program a bit and now the water looks a lot better, almost photorealistic.
Sure thing. I haven't done anything with them yet, I forgot I had them <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
Well, soon there will be no need for people to want other peoples water textures, since soon everyone will be able to create their own custom animated water textures.

My suggestion is you tone down the contrast of the ripples with the base water colour, because the last animation you showed had bright white ripples on navy blue water. Something with a bit more blending would be best.

Here's an idea I posted in "Lost Hive"... has anyone ever considered positioning a steam particle system in the "mouth" of a Hive? Not a real strong jet, just a slow, 'leaking' emission of hot, wet, rank air. I think it'd add some added creepiness to the hive. (:

My very excellent idea here would be a hall that starts exploding as you walk through it. The fire behind you would be forcing you to run without stopping, the objects that fall and break in front of you will make you thing about where to run. And at the end you break through a glass wall and the whole place explodes. This is why i call my map breakout, and it'll hopefully be the final sequence in it, if somebody didn't make it in time <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--><!--QuoteEnd--></td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'><!--QuoteEEnd--> Half-Life does in fact have a sequence like that. I think it's near the LAMBDA chapter... at one point, your near a parking and you go through a door, then the ceiling starts falling chunk by chunk in front of you. You have to jump onto falling chunks to avoid the other ones that are crashing down where you were a second ago.
######.. if i could remember the map... i think its one of the maps near the garg in the parking but im not 100% sure. Its near the part where there are "webs" blocking your way and when you shoot them down, snarks pop out of them.(those dam-n bloody things are really annoying! hehe)

It'll be interesting to see hopefully some of these great effects come time for NS to be released.
