The reworked patch has been comitted after a bit of polishing. Good work.

I hope that some brave soul will hunt down the water info in .ter files. I think we know enough about .ter to find out what material is on each surface, which might give us enough info to build our own bsp tree. I know I spent a long time messing around with the .ter file trying to understand its format. There is some large blob of data after the material data and before the geometry data. I highly suspect that this is (or at least contains) the BSP tree, but I wasnt able to discern any sort of structure from the data. If you look in azone, you will see that I finally got annoyed at it and hard coded a ton of offsets in there to skip over this blob... if somebody figured out the structure, it might help us with water as well as help us get normal maps from newer zones... who knows....
