I did some playing around. Certain maps with r_mirroralpha enabled for certain textures look very cool. It would be a great effect to have on ice.

newer got that to work :lol:

it does something awfull to the warp code making water a plain surface (no reflection either heh).

tenebrae used the mirror code for some cubemap hackery projecting the caustics onto the walls (broke on latest source).

hmm and lava balls.
