if your huge map is as open as that, good luck optimising it. Enjoy the lag.

www.mediafire.com/?9i2fgvkhlc4x48uyour water's fine. your map is too big. Because your map is so big, the following problems are encountered: 1) Your map cannot compile properly (Portal flow takes so long, shock horror...) 2) There is no "void" left for things to not leak into 3) your water is visible all the time 4) your skybox roof is far far away 5) the water cannot reflect (or has trouble reflecting) that. See my map. I've closed off a small section of your water, and made the rest o the map "leak" so it becomes the void. Works perfectly. This brings me back to the FIRST THING I SAID on the 28th July: Your map is too big. Make it smaller. At least add a reasonable (512+) "buffer" around the edges so you have some void around. and dont dare tell me im acting immature. The water is YOUR problem, not mine. But sure, i'll spend a couple of hours testing and fixing...

I'm sorry you feel that way.
Let me explain a bit, if i may. I get a lot of people asking for help. It eats into my time free quite a bit. I try to help everyone as much as i can, when i can. A lot of mistakes are simplistic, like yours, they just take time to diagnose. I sometimes (especially when having a bad day at work) appear to use a sour tone when chatting. Usually i'm trying to express frustration, rather than actual shouting. Especially when i'm repeating myself (even if to different people).
I don't take kindly to downputs, especially when i'm trying to help: for free. Calling me 12 (under half my actual age) when i was actually right on the button, for example, doesn't help when im racking my brain trying to think of a solution. However, I know text is often taken the wrong way on forums and such, as there are no facial expressions or tones implied, so I continue to help. TBH even if i was seriously insulted by something, i'd probably still try to help.
And now, with a solution at hand, you're belittling my help. This makes me a sad panda. I wasn't getting cut up, thought it may appear that i was. I was just trying to help.
Anyway, enjoy the fix, let us know it worked. If not, we'll continue.
All the best in your mapping career, should you not return.
Zeph

Just so you know i wasnt calling you 12. Its just to me the conversation started sounding like an argument between 2 kids, not necessarily 12 year olds but thats just the internet speeking because everyone hates the so called 12ves . So sorry for any offence there. Anyway, i havent been mapping for a while now (Busy high school life) but il give it another go. I think this sums up chating on the internet www.youtube.com/watch?v=8IITdhr4udk&feature=plcp
