Look people, i have some questions i really really need an answer on!
i have my map, its not tottaly finished yet but it is getting close, it is an island that is surrounded by water (duhuh).
Here are some pictures, Grey = island blue = water.

Yes, there are almost no textures on it. But now the Questions:

• 1 - because its an island, i need water. so i tryed some stuff, but it did't worked out! any help with a water shader would be very very helpfull. also with the waves.


• 2 - I think this is stupid to ask, but if you have your water, the Plane( if you use a plane) must it be that big so that you wil never see where it ends, or is there another way to do that?


• 3 - This i already asked, but it did't helped me. How can you let 2 Textures (Bitmaps) fade into each other? i mean, that it goes from sand to grass smoothyl, instead you see those strange lines that on the one side its sand and then all of a sudden grass.

I know, i ask maybe alot but i really want to have some help with this.
I have been working on that island quit sometime now, i learned alot but i would like it to finish it as a Halo 2 map.

Like i sayd, it isn't completed yet but i asked this now so that you guys can answer me quicker. If you even answer me =D
