For the new people out there - who are interested in animation/material effects/colors.
In your Renegade Tools directory - there is a little known program called WDUMP ....
this little program will allow you to look at W3D's that are all ready made - and see all the settings you need to duplicate the effects.
So - for example - i wanted to duplicate the water effects on the Islands map (the tunnels).
I used xccmixer to open the level - extracted the tunnel w3d and then used wdump to look at the settings.
Instant effects.
I have found that the W3D_Chunk_Vertex_Materials to be the most useful item.
There really isnt a readme on this program - but if you play around with it - you should be able to figure it out.
If you have any questions - just ask.
*Kudo's to Gregg and Bumpaneer for help on this*
