Waterfalls, GLSL, MD5 format.

Hi there!

So I've got the SVN of NetRadiant and Nexuiz and am enjoying playing around with it. I'm trying to make a waterfall. I made it using a patch mesh. I used the water shader for it that comes with Nexuiz but it just looks like some shiny flat water on an angle. I understand this game uses GLSL for this sort of thing. Is it possible to make my own waterfall effect using GLSL or something else which actually looks like a waterfall with the water coming down?

Also, the MD5 format from Doom 3 supports skeletal animation as well as vertex skinning. From what I know this allows more realistic characters ingame. Is this supported in Nexuiz?

Thanks,
Chris.

As for waterfall: you can use a Q3 shader with "tcmod scroll". Google for that to get help about it. Or, look at the shaders used on reslimed, it has flowing slime in some tubes.

As for MD5: no, MD5 is not supported, however, DPM has these features too and there is a MD5 to DPM converter available. Also, skeletal animation is no requirement, you CAN use MD3 files and let your exporter convert from skeletal animation to vertex animation.
