Better Terrain for GK (formerly "My Suggestions")

[Tigairius]

I have said this 100 times to many people, but I'll say it here as well... I really do agree, I would love to see an overhaul of the 3D terrain and I would even be willing to remake the entire world if it meant we could have a more realistic feel to the terrain... vertex shaded water that actually moves and possibly little waves on the shore... an arc around things moving in the water to make it actually look like you're moving through water for ships, players, etc instead of just recoloring the bottom of things to be blue... It would also be nice to have some scripted controls to be able to control the color of the water too, giving us the ability to make lava, swamps, etc.

Food system and weight system are semi-important to GK, especially the weight system, so I'm not for removing that, but perhaps revamping the food system to be more interesting. Feel free to throw your ideas at me for that, I'm all ears.

Getting realistic water and land on GK is a dream of mine that I don't think will ever happen, but if you think you can make it happen, be my guest. It would require a lot of help from Stefan though (setting up the engine, etc)...
