Hmm I just realized that I missed a few posts in this thread. There are interesting developments happening. It's a shame that the 0x18 command requires a ram pointer that refers to another pointer instead of using the actual polygon data pointer as a parameter, I wonder why they choose such a convoluted method. This will make integration of water areas in the importer a much complicated affair. Using a 0x24 object to make the water polygon is a good idea, and with the object importer you'll be able to do something like this. But, standard water/lava polygons have some particularities that the imported objects wouldn't have. The water and lava is animated, and the water texture is scrolling in a direction and speed linked to the current that's defined by some special collision commands that are used on the floor of some water areas. The current can dynamically change depending on where Mario is, and 0x24 objects wouldn't provide this nicety. ____________________
