Non-flooded underwater bases

[Mr Tagomi offline]

I know that underwater bases not flooded with water is something people have been drooling over the thought of for a long timebut been unable to do... this sounds pretty obvious to me so someone's probably suggested it already, but I have a sort of solution/idea:

I think I read that there are two water levels in maps: the top and bottom of the water, so you could fall through some water then come out in an air bubble at the other side, right? So why not place an underground base like the one in katabatic on the sea floor of a map, make sure the water level of the map doesn't drop below the sea floor, then voila! A base you get to through water that isn't flooded (at least on the lower level).

It would be nice to find out that someone's already done this, if you would care to enlighten me...

Thats usually not the effect people want though.

It's not an offical air bubble... if you attempt such a thing, there may be slight glitches. Like being underwater, but not.

I experimented with a map i was making (of course, i had to screw it over and forget about it), but i made the big hill in riverdance into a dam. What i did was i put a hole in the middle of the hill and filled it with water.

I then took one side of the hill and thinned the terrain as much as i could and placed 3 BE walls and resized them to make it look like a dam, and fool ppl into thinking that the water was being stopped at the interiors, and not the hidden terrain inside them.

What i am trying to say is, It is possible to put a base "underwater", but your map will be client-side if you try that (unless there is a map that has very thin terrain walls, but that is not likely)

Or you may try to set the water density to the same as the air, that way, you are underwater, but it is as though you are not, and no flooded base.

If this info helps at all, then so be it. If not, well.........too bad.
