Description

If you create a level with a water plane in it the water is appearing properly in the toolset but is non-existent in the game. This problem has been identified. It is not lightmapper related; it turns out that "single player" is hard-coded into a part of the resource processing pipeline.

Workarounds

A proper fix may take some time, but there's a fairly simple workaround for it.

To post a level layout with water, first ensure that you've switched to the single player module via manage modules, and then once you've posted it you'll need to manually copy the resulting files from the single player override directory into your addin's override directory.

N.B. This bug is one of several path-related errors in level processing. For example, light mapping is also bugged. So, it's advisable to do all level work in the Single Player module, as described above.
