RTS Mapping

I am working with the RTS kit and am having a problem with water that is stumping me. I have read and reread everything I can find on the subject with no luck.

The problem is that my "shore texture" will not render unless I move the water block AWAY from the terrain feature it should intersect with to create the shore line effect in the first place.

This is best illustrated by screen shots, please see the link for a more detailed explanation.

Are you applying an offset to the terrain? You might also want to ask this question in the TGE private forums, as the waterblock code is the same....

Poor guy, hehe..he was told to post the question here since it is RTS "related".

Ben is right however, the water related issue is more appropriate to the general forums, as the RTS SK doesn't affect water stuff much if at all.

Whoops,
My artist posted this in the art forums but was told it belonged here and asked me to repost it.

Strangely, I've had very few problems with water blocks in regular TGE.
I will repost in the TGE SDK forums.

Actually I was the one who recommended that to him (doh) but this is exactly the reason, because someone would identify if it is an RTS issue (i.e. say that it was ripped out/broken on purpose) or a non-related issue.
