−	~~For Majki~~	+	'''The Textures'''
		+
		+	First, we take care of the textures we will need. The texture "water" is a normal .jpg (RGB-mode saved in 'Baseline-Standard').
		+
		+
		+	[[File:Fancywater.jpg]]
		+
		+
		+
		+
		+
		+	"env_water" is our environment texture and also a .jpg (RGB-mode saved in 'Baseline-Standard'). To get it we have have to build a testmap. That testmap should consist of the skybox (with lighting), a skyportal (if needed) including your basic/background terrain and an info_playerstart. After compile you start the map (devmap [mapname]) and type following two commands into the console:
		+
		+	<pre>cg_draw2d 0
		+	cg_drawgun 0</pre>
		+
		+
		+	After that you change into first-person view and take 2 screenshots of the map. Just go in the middle of your map and take a shot after every 90° while turning around. If possible, avoid very bright spots on those screenshots.
		+
		+	[[File:Realisticwater2.jpg]] [[File:Realisticwater3.jpg]]
		+
		+
		+
		+	Now merge both pics together by using a graphics program such as Photoshop or GIMP. Then scale it till it has a texture format (1024x1024 pixel should be more than enough). Now use the Motion Blur Filter to make it unsharp. Last but not least bright it up around 75% and save it as .jpg (RGB-mode saved in 'Baseline-Standard').
		+
		+
		+
		+	[[File:Env realisticwater.jpg]]
		+
		+
		+
		+	'''The Shader'''
		+	<pre>textures/mymap/fancywater // name of the texture (in Radiant)
		+	{
		+	qer_editorimage textures/mymap/fancywater // picture of the shader in Radiant
		+	sort banner // depth sorting of shaders
		+	qer_trans 0.8 // transparency in Radiant
		+	surfaceparm nonsolid // surface is non solid
		+	surfaceparm nonopaque // surface is transparent
		+	surfaceparm trans // surface is transparent 2
		+	surfaceparm water // water characteristics
		+	q3map_material Water // water characteristics 2
		+	tessSize 128 // divides Brushes into 128x128 Brushes
		+	deformvertexes normal 0.1 1.85 // undulation
		+	deformvertexes wave 128 sin 0 1 0.3 2 // undulation 2
		+	{
		+	map textures/mymap/fancywater // basic texture
		+	blendFunc GL_ONE GL_SRC_ALPHA // transparency
		+	rgbGen const ( 0.5 0.5 0.5 ) // weakens colors 50%
		+	alphaFunc GE128 // filters black
		+	alphaGen const 1.0 // alpha-channel attitudes
		+	tcmod scroll 0 -0.25 // texture scrolling (optional)
		+	}
		+	{
		+	map textures/mymap/env_fancywater // environment texture (reflectivity)
		+	tcGen environment // makes this an environment stage
		+	rgbGen const ( 0.5 0.4 0.4 ) // (red stronger than green & blue)
		+	blendFunc GL_ONE GL_ONE // transparency
		+	}
		+	{
		+	map textures/mymap/env_fancywater // environment texture (reflectivity)
		+	tcGen environment // makes this an environment stage
		+	blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO // transparency
		+	}
		+	{
		+	map $lightmap // lightmap stage
		+	blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO // transparency
		+	}
		+	}</pre>
		+
		+
		+	Pack shader and texture into a .pk3 and move it into your base folder. Also, don't forget to put shader.file containing water texture in your shaderlist.txt.
		+
		+
		+	'''Ingame'''
		+
		+	To use the new water, create a brush and give it the "system/caulk_water" texture. Now select the visible sites of the brush (ctrl+shift+alt+left mouse button in 3d window) and give those the new "mymap/water" texture.
		+
		+
		+	[[File:Realisticwater5.jpg]]
		+
		+
		+
		+
		+	Compilation time!
