Mapmodel waterfalls needed

I'm making another map.. Well, same one I started in May.. And I've come to realize it needs some small waterfalls, similar in design to the ones used in bt_falls. Can anyone design these? I will show you what I've done in the map so you can fit it properly.

Also, I want to create a "push" feel to the waterfall, presumably through jumppads. I don't want the springy sound with these however; can I make another 'ent entry' so there are two jumppads ents, one with sound and one without?

Thanks in advance.

just so you know, mapmodel waterfalls have a problem. water cannot be seen behind them, so unless you have a good way of concealing this, i advise you try and find another way around this.

Yes. It can, if you set it up properly.

It is good to look into something before carving it in stone.

Why not use texture scroll and alpha settings instead of model?
For eg. look at alloy.

lol, making that waterfall was really hard. i kept messing up on the shape and its difficult to make it touch the water material and look good.

nah :P

They should fix the waterfall for bt_falls, if we would use Q009's method.

Check out the "tris_small.md3" in "sauerbraten/packages/models/mapmodels/nieb/waterfall" first before asking such thing...

If this isnt small enough, make your own md3.cfg file wich is referring to 1 of the waterfall models from nieb and put "mdlscale 325" in it (or any other value, but this is 50% of the original size wich is getting used on bt_falls)
an example for this (a copy from 1 of the cfg files inside the waterfall folder, only mdlscale modified to 325):

md3load ../tris_small.md3
md3skin tris ../skin_R.png
md3anim mapmodel 0 12 2
mdlcullface 0
mdlspec -1
mdlambient 50
mdlscale 325
mdlcollide 0
mdlalphatest 0.1
mdlshadow 0

have fun with it...

P.S.
I dont know about that "push" feeling, but youll probably have to modified the sourcecode for such thing (wich is bad for just a map). Maybe try to get the same thing on an other way...
