This variable determines the level of opacity for liquids, which requires the use of maps that were VISed with transparent water. When using maps that have not been VISed in such a way, you have to use "r_novis 1". If "r_novis" is set to "1" or when using a map VISed with transparent water and using setting "gl_turbalpha" to a value lower than "1", the player will be able to see objects and walls through liquids if the server allows that. This is a very nice feature to have in the game, for more information refer to the "r_novis" command. You can use any value between "0" and "1" for "gl_turbalpha", here are some Examples:
Support: Windows: OpenGL Windows: Software Linux: GLX Linux: X11 Linux: SVGA Mac OS X FreeBSD
Default: 1
| value | description |
| 0.00 | Transparent. |
| 0.25 | Low opacity. |
| 0.50 | Medium opacity. |
| 0.75 | High opacity. |
| 1.00 | Solid. |
Controls amount of fog when inside liquid (water, lava, slime). Density is controlled by choosing a value from 0 to 1 and from 1 to 2.

Turns on rain out of doors, the density of rain is equal to whatever gl_weather_rain is set to. If you set gl_weather_rain_fast to 1, you can turn off all splashes, if you set it to 2, you will turn off only the water splashes. Works on all non-iD maps except death32c, dakyne and some others.

Variable is float.
This variable toggles the use of VIS information from the map data. When this variable is set to "1" the game will calculate it's own VIS information on the fly instead of using the information stored in the map data, this will cause a severe performance penalty in the game. When "r_novis" is set to "1", the variable "gl_turbalpha" has a value lower than "1" and the server allows the client to display liquid transparently the player will be able to see through liquids. This is a nice effect to see but it is not recommended to keep this variable set to "1" because of the huge performance penalty. It is possible to enable transparent liquids and still keep this variable set to "0" (and thus not experience such a severe performance drop) by using maps that are VISed accordingly. You can visit the official Water VIS site at "http://www.sod.net/" and download the vispatch program along with the patch data files which you would use to update the VIS data for all of your game maps. There are also map packs available that contain VISed versions of the original ID maps.
