I see someone else has discovered the water feature. Below is a
small WAD file that I posted to this list about 6 mo. ago that demonstrates
this effect quite nicely.

Subject: multi-player colors
here's a question for you hackers who have played multiplayer heretic.
What are the pixel index mappings for different players. I assume they
change the color of the cloak, but from what to what?
Numbers would be best. Screendumps are second best, and vague ideas will
be used as a last resort. This is my function for doom II (which I can not
really verify, since I have never played more than 2-player):
void patch::recolor_for_multiplayer(int playno)
{
const int min=112, max=127;
int newmin;
switch(playno) {
case 1:
newmin=96;
break;
case 2:
newmin=64;
break;
case 3:
newmin=176;
break;
default:
return;
}
for ( int xoff=0; xoff<width; xoff++) {
unsigned char *post = data+offsets[xoff];
while (*post!=0xff) {
int phgt = post[1];
for (int y=0; y<phgt; y++) {
unsigned char &val = post[3+y];
if (val>=min && val<=max)
val = val-min+newmin;
}
post += phgt+4;
}
}
}

Yeah, it's possible to get the effect you desire. There was a post about
it some time back. The trick goes like this:
+------------------+
| 1 |
| +---------+ |
| | 2 | |
| +---------+ |
| |
+------------------+
Where the outside sector is #1 and the inside sector is #2. To do it,
set the floor height of sector 2 to 40 or so less than sector 1. Then
modify all of the line-defs for sector 2 so that both sides of each
line-def points to sector 2, and none of them point to sector 1. The
floor at sector 2 will always appear to be at the level of sector 1,
but when the player steps into it he will drop to the actual level of
sector 2. If you drop the level enough (about 40 I think) the view will
be right at floor level. You will have to put steps around the sector to
get out of course, but if you modify them the same way, they will also
appear at water-level.
Another application of this is to make invisible 'steps' that the player
can climb up, but cannot see. I have also heard that doing this with a
lift produces an interesting result.
Good Luck,
Jim

We have something like this in the 5.3 DEU Pre-alpha version. Let me pull
up our remapping table...
int playmap[4] = {0xE1, 0x70, 0x91, 0xB9};
int remap; /* 0 for no remap, 1-4 for players 1-4 */
...
if (remap && (color >= playmap[0] && color < playmap[0] + 0x10))
color += playmap[0] - playmap[remap];
...
Those values SHOULD be good, but we can't officially test. They look
fairly good though.
Player 1 is green, 2 is yellow, 3 is red, 4 is blue.
