Is there any easy way to make a set sea level on a matrix cause i designed one in magic world which has sea built in but the sea is gone when i load that matrix into DB.

another matrix question is how do you texture specfic part on the matrix e.g. mountain beaches

hmm...unless you want to to waves, you could use a big, ghosted plain.
If you want waves, just make and randomize a new matrix and then make a function/subroutine to handle the waves (might want to steal it from the Jetski demo ). Just be careful about the waves poking up out of the rest of the world...

As for the second question, you have Magic World so you can click the paintbrush, select a texture piece, and paint the texture on the tiles you want. When you save the world, you should be set.
Easy enough, right?

I came up with a rather nice sea effect using 2 planes, one ghosted, one not. Position the ghosted one slightly above the other, texture them both with some suitable sea texture and scroll the textures on the two plains at slightly different rates, if the texture has ripples/waves you get a kind of interference effect which looks quite nice.

I also found if you turn the sea planes ambient light flag to off (using the set object command) you get a really bright sparkly sea. Of course if your looking for dark and windswept dont try this)

What looks really neat is when you use SIN-related motion for the water, since ocean waves are roughly approximated by sine waves. I don't have a formula for you though.
