About Clean and Reflective Water

Combines the tweaks made by [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1661580638]Cleaner Water and [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=399205947]Enhanced…

Combines the tweaks made by Cleaner Water and Enhanced Water Reflections.

This still has the black door/window bug, subscribe to this taking this into consideration, thanks :)

Explanation of the bug by Blue:

"The black doors and stuff of the matter is usually area portals compiled within the map to make it more optimized by preventing rendering into a room/area unless you are close to it. This is prevalent on lower settings as the distance required for the "portal" to fade out requires you to be closer. Since this mod reflects entities in real time via its VMT's, the specialized entity brushes (area portals) are reflected and this pretty much cannot be avoided. This is because Valve likely intended such reflective water to only be used on a coast or open setting where there wouldn't be any special brushes or tools other than the water itself. Its also worth mentioning that this feature likely wasn't intended to be used in L4D2, as the vanilla water VMT's only reflect map skyboxes and the 3D meshes within them. It would explain the conflicting bugs with optimization entities introduced in L4D2. This is why some things "reflect" and others don't on vanilla L4D2, and why there is a crapton of black textured skybox meshes in the games files.

TL;DR, not the modders fault, can't be fixed, side effect of enabling a VMT to duplicate whats being rendered and flip it 180 on the Z-axis."

I don't take mod requests.
