Separate the drawing of the underwater gui texture from the other underwater effects. Apply the underwater gui texture when the eye gets close enough to the water surface to experience the clipping of the near Z plane. Account for water that moves up and down (Training Mission). Change the underwater guis so they accept a broadcast ‘y’ value for where to start painting the background overlay texture. Rev. 6513: Player.cpp Rev. 14334: All the underwater gui files. |

Must also handle the case of leaning left and right. The underwater overlay remains parallel to the screen bottom, but the clipped water surface doesn't. |

I'm reverting the changes I made for this. While the non-leaning solution was reasonably acceptable, I've been unable to complete a reasonably acceptable solution when the player is leaning. Came very close, but the code began to be filled with fudge factors due to not being able to get a precise solution based on the available math. (Another way to read this is that I simply got tired of working on it after a couple weeks of effort, and getting nowhere.) While I believe the true solution is to have the renderer ignore the near plane cutoff and paint the water surface to the bottom of the screen when the player's eyes are slightly out of the water, this appears to be an untenable solution, and since I'm not familiar with the renderer, I won't be trying anything in that area myself. I've saved a copy of my work if anyone wants to revisit this in the future. |

Maybe I'll get back to this someday. Not for 2.06. |
