well, i'm not sure if this will work, and i am not at home so i can't test it, but what you should try is in 3ds max you have a plane for your water, but what you should try is adding another plane just above the water facing the opposite direction, but with the same material id. I am not sure, but this should make the fog pallet only go between those two planes.
I hope this helps, cause you helped me

ok i tryed wat u said but it dosent work. i figured this out but its very fucked watch:

ok heres my level just to show how its made:

ok and here its my clusters(portals) and my water and has u can see the clusters seperate the water in all of the clusters.

here is the error i get when i export. it says that the water's fog is intersecting with the clusters.

so i resized some clusters so it wont touch the water

now when i export after making this little change thats wat i get:

so i only moved the clusters and tool cant allocate a cluster anymore. whythefuck???? i need more help.... thx

yeah dude, your whole map must be cyan colored when you import that error geometry lol

no man the only thing i see when i import the wrl is 2 coplanar surfaces i cant see the cyan, but if i take off the $ on my water!$ it works.... it compiles the map sucessfully and when i try to start the radiosity it works so those cyan things dosent do anything....

Wow. That map is not going to work. First of all it is way to high poly, second of all those portals are terrible. You need more, and better.

People will be lucky to get 5 FPS on that.

Fine... you can go play the slideshow by yourself

its not liking the map yourself, its making a map others like... unless you really are gonna go play by yourself.
