maybe you didnt link the water plane to your frame so it didnt export

also check your shaders if it got a shader for water, maybe you didnt set that up right

and yes, i always use the scenery method because it's easier to work with, imo

you need to make the water have a specific shader, and I'm not sure, but I think you need to name the actual plane in max water!$ also.

You don't need water as a scenery :\

you make a water plane, name the material "water!$"
then make another plane just barely under it called collision@
water!$ is the actual water you see, whereas "collision@" is the invisible plane under it which makes the vehicles collide onto. Players can still walk through it too.

You don't need to re-populate.
It takes like, 5 minutes maxmum on a POS pc.
It'd take longer to wait for him to get online xfire and give you the scenery :\
Plus, you can't get the scenery size exactly right, so you'd have to place multiple scenery pieces like tiles and that would get annoying and you might end up with gaps in the collision and vehicles would fall through.
Sounds like more work if you ask me.

Yeah, I used this for XBL, and Uneven Elephant wasnt available and neither was Uneven Elefant, so I got this one. I really should remove the 5, it's annoying me lol
