Um, QBSP has nothing to do with transparent water.  QBSP makes a file full
of brushes into a neatly chopped and sorted tree of polygons.  The step
that does the water transparency is VIS.  Get a vis program that does the
transparent water.  I have no idea what the hell a QBSP program can do for
transparent water (other than removing the water polygons altogether, and
that would be stupid).  For suggestions on programs, I use QBSP256c,
arghlite, and rvis to process maps.  All of these can be had at ftp.cdrom.com.

Then, in glquake, do a r_wateralpha 0.5.
