Water Vis'd maps + Quakeworld

Do they pass the map checks?

I assume no. Right?

/I'd rather ask than pull them out of the pak, go to all of the trouble of vising them and then try to connect and see what happens.

Yeap, they do!

Edit.: It's not a security problem since watervis is serverside controlled, then doesn't matter if your maps are vised or not once the server is the one who decides if the client can see through the water.

with entity occlusion the server could determine what entities are shown, vis'ed maps or not... so the option could be triggered mod side aswell.

Any servers running Vised maps?

I'd like to try and vis my maps and test it out.

I remember most the old CTF maps were vised and popular amongst the community.

quakeworld's map checksums exclude certain parts of the bsp, including the entity section and the vis information. This means that if you revis a map (for water or a higher vis level) then the server will not notice. This also allows you to hand-edit the pvs nodes/leafs and prevent walls from being drawn based on your location. Enjoy.

hi

if you're running a ktx server and would like to see through the water the cmd is.. serverinfo watervis 1, this cmd goes in your mvdsv.cfg
i have a ktx server running 24/7 the ip is... TIDDLES-SERVER 1ON1|2ms|87.194.195.145:27500 i have it so you can see players and health and guns and ammo from looking above and into the water, but my server is running on my pc, and the connection can be abit shit at times for people, if my brother is downloading/uploading porn :/

these maps i've made all have transparent water....

internal-decay.bsp
blood-thirst.bsp
rampage-tid.bsp

and they all have colored lighting, so get thoes lits k
