> OK...
> First I can't seem to make tranlucent surfaces for water and such. I set the translucent flag but the mat file never shows.
With water, set the face flag to translucent, and the GEO flag to 4(that makes it draw it. )

> I made a sector and put some lights in it, the usual... But whenI went to do calculate light in I got an error about "divinding by 0" I believe. I forget the actual error message because after loading the board several times it fixed itself. I want to know if anyone had anything simular and if there is a solution. I'll try to get the error again. This error wasn't even reported in the consitency checker, so I have know Idea where the problem was.
I had that prob with lights. 1st make sure they r all in sectors. Or just use the 'extra light' flag for each sector.
I hope this helps :)
