Squid doesn't release its ink anymore at all. Happens in 227j too...this was pointed out to me by someone else though. There was another thing I can't remember now.

The squid releases an ink into the water when its damaged enough/fears the player. he backs off and releases the ink. This doesn't happen at least since 227i...

I have never seen them release ink clouds in any version of Unreal or UT !

THAT REMINDS ME OF SOMETHING

guess that "someone" would be me then. I remember adding this because of an other nasty glitch in some map with smoke underwater but didn't consider squid actually releases smoke,not ink...

...Seriously? You guys didn't know that the squid releases ink?

I've played like lots of maps which had tons of squids in MonsterHunt (UT), when i was a little kid.

Well, it's ok, i like to play with monsters... Now i can control their AI... Hehe.

The standard classes may spawn smoke underwater too. For example, such weapons as Automag, Minigun, Rifle, and CARifle spawn SpriteSmokePuff (when a bullet is supposed to hit a wall) independently of bWaterZone. Besides, SmokeColumn (which can be spawned by a KraalBolt) is not covered by the given check, because it's not a subclass of SpriteSmokePuff. I think that the check inside SpriteSmokePuff should be removed, but similar checks should be added to some classes that could spawn smoke effects in water zones. And, BTW, I don't see reasons to disallow presence of a WallHitEffect (which is inherited from SpriteSmokePuff) in a fluid.

Another strange change was made in UnrealI.FlakShell:

226b:

	function Explode(vector HitLocation, vector HitNormal)
	{
		local vector start;

		HurtRadius(damage, 150, 'exploded', MomentumTransfer, HitLocation);
		start = Location + 10 * HitNormal;
 		Spawn( class'FlameExplosion',,,Start);
		Spawn(class 'MasterChunk',,,Start);
		Spawn( class 'Chunk2',, '', Start);
		Spawn( class 'Chunk3',, '', Start);
		Spawn( class 'Chunk4',, '', Start);
		Spawn( class 'Chunk1',, '', Start);
		Spawn( class 'Chunk2',, '', Start);
 		Destroy();
	} 

227i/j:

function Explode(vector HitLocation, vector HitNormal)
{
	local vector start;

	HurtRadiusProj(damage, 150, 'exploded', MomentumTransfer, HitLocation);
	start = Location + 10 * HitNormal;
	if (Region.Zone.bWaterZone)
	{
		Spawn( class'Bubble',,,Start);
		PlaySound (Class'FlameExplosion'.Default.EffectSound1,,3.0);//missing from flameexplosion
	}
	else Spawn( class'FlameExplosion',,,Start);
	Spawn( class 'MasterChunk',,,Start);
	Spawn( class 'Chunk2',,, Start);
	Spawn( class 'Chunk3',,, Start);
	Spawn( class 'Chunk4',,, Start);
	Spawn( class 'Chunk1',,, Start);
	Spawn( class 'Chunk2',,, Start);

	Destroy();
} 

Why is spawning a FlameExplosion suppressed in water zones? Note that there is no such a suppression for the projectiles of Eightball, CARifle, RocketLauncher, GrenadeLauncher, and for GasbagBelch.

And an explosion is one of such cases when a fire can appear underwater.

In general, only the spawner can decide what the spawned "cloud" is supposed to be - a smoke, an ink, a turbid water, etc. So, the spawner should be responsible for checking bWaterZone when such a check is necessary.
