How can i make swimable water?

[hardcore_gamer]

In many levels, i have seen water you can swim in. I know skulltag can do this, but how? I use Doom builder to make my levels and it is beyond my how the mappers do this.

i know! can you show me a level that has water you can swim in, that way
i can load it with Doom builder and see this myself.

You mean swimmable-swimmable or just that "deep water" visual effect? The latter can be done with vanilla Doom too.

And don't ask people to make anything for you, it will just turn you into loser-bait.

I dont want anyone to make anything.

In Zdoom (and probably in Skulltag too) there seems to be a special thing that controls swimability. Go get the 'sample wad' from zdoom.org here http://zdoom.org/files/examples/demo.zip and see how that's done.

the deep water thing. put it in a deep water sector. that'll make it swimmable.

great, but i dont use wadauthor to map. And i cant load that map in doom builder couse the level appears all mest up. The same thing goes with the other link above.

Works fine for me I use doom builder and ive seen that demo more than once in doom builder and never had any problems with it.

It must be something with your version of doom builder.

Upon opening the WAD, in the "Select Map from x" dialog, have you selected "ZDoom (Doom in Hexen format)" at "Configuration"? Otherwise, the map will look messed up.
