Ah, yeaaah! It's THAT good! :))

I'm really amazed, especially by the river - the water movment is
incredibly realistic. And the fake translucency looks real! Outstanding
work, once again! :)

Maybe we could allow characters to walk into the river (provided it's
not too deep for them). In this case, they would be knee-deep in the
water, and the water surrounding the stones effect would also apply to
them. Don't dream too much though - I have to think about a way to do it
properly. But maybe once map objects have Python scripting capabilities,
it will be possible. That is, not tomorrow! :)
