Can't see anything wrong there. What does "not working" mean? Does the player fall through the water brush or can the player not "jump" into the water and stands on the surface as the Builder's Jesus? If the latter is the case, then check whether there is another worldspawn brush covering your water entity.

Maybe check this tutorial:

 

Ooo, I haven't seen these tutorials before! Unfortunately, this also didn't seem to work. But thank you for the resources!

Yeah I guess it would have been helpful if I had provided exactly how it doesn't work...sorry about that.

The player moves through the water entity as if it was completely non-solid. There isn't any swimming animation, splash, or anything like that. It just behaves like a brush with no collision.

Thanks to @Wellingtoncrab we were able to find a solution: changing the nodraw_solid to nodraw_solid_liquid.

It feels like a no-brainer, but no tutorials I have followed even mentioned that being needed. I'm fairly certain I must have done something wrong, or maybe the tutorials are out of date.

Regardless, thanks to all who chimed in and helped!

You definitely don't normally need to use nodraw_solid_liquid.  That's not to say something odd isn't going on, but I've only ever used common/nodraw (not nodraw_solid like you mention) and never had that issue.

      While updating my first FM, I noticed a lot of silly things I did because I was still new to DR. For example, there was a model for a wheel that I wanted the player to be able to turn that had its origin off-center. I didn't know I could just re-export the model inside DR to fix its origin, so instead that wheel triggers a func_mover it's bound to. A silly solution in retrospect, has anyone else made somewhat janky or roundabout solutions to technical challenges in their maps? I'd love to hear about 'em!

      If you use DarkRadiant in Linux while using a dark theme, a large amount of the icons are hard to see, because it's dark-color on dark background (wish DR darkmode was a little less dark). A workaround is switching to a light theme when using DR. I'm using XFCE as DE, so I made this script (mostly copied from this code), which works as a toggle. Then I set it to a keyboard shortcut. The switch works even when DR is already opened.
      current_theme=$(xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/theme) if [[ $current_theme == 'Adwaita-dark' ]]; then xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/ThemeName -s 'Mint-X-Grey' xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/theme -s 'Mint-X-Grey' else xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/ThemeName -s 'Adwaita-dark' xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/theme -s 'Adwaita-dark' fi This only works for the XFCE DE though.

      In case you missed it, I updated the Visible Player Hands mod to version 2.0. It now works while a weapon is selected and has a Linux version too.
      Check it out if you're interested: Visible Player Hands 2.0

      Starting a playthrough of the whole Dark Mod, from oldest mission to newest. I've knocked over the first few already and about to start Living Expenses. Only ~170 missions to go!
