Underwater Glass Wall Actually Looking Like It's Underwater

    Title says it all. In Terraria, putting glass walls underwater would make you see the sky instead of water. I hope there's a way that glass walls can look like it's actually underwater :eek:

    EDIT: this SHOULD work for under-lava (and other liquids) glass walls as well :laugh:

    That would be strange if you saw the sky instead of the water [​IMG] I never noticed that in Terraria.

    My underwater base in Terraria was very disappointing for this very reason (still fun though). Unfortunately I don't see it being fixed, I suspect you'll just have to be content with walls being behind you- any underwater windows will give you a wonderful view of the mountains outside.

    Never noticed this in Terraria. Hope they put this in.

    Ah the little things, sometimes 20x as important as the big things, +1 from me.

    Maybe if the game can recognize a structure to be underwater (i.e. water above structure and/or at least one vertical wall of the structure has water touching it) the game can display a submerged background for glass walls. A great plus is if the game can recognize how much a structure is submerged (10 block-high structure, 5 blocks recognized as underwater, displays 5 block high water for glass wall)

    I think it will be implemented. One of screenshots had "background water", if I'm not mistaken.

    I think I know what you are talking about, the one with the underwater structure or something?

    The one with underground cave. There was water in the background, i think.

    This would be great to see in the game, they'll probably implement it with all these new features.

    Doesn't entirely look like water honestly, im not sure WHAT it is, but its uneven with the terrain and the cave itself, seems related to the bluish dirt somehow.

    at any rate, this community is savagely effective at gleaning even little bits of info from media we are given, so we will probably know sooner or later.

    Haha, I had the saaaame complaint in Terraria =P I'm fairly confident it will be fixed though.

    Actually, didn't the Water Physics Demo have a window underwater when they were showing off drainage? Hmm...
