Compiles the texture as having water contents (CONTENTS_WATER).

Example:

LightmappedGeneric
{
$basetexture "liquids/custom_water"
$bottommaterial "liquids/custom_water"
%compilewater 1
$nocull 1
}

While this is necessary for shaders with real-time reflections and refractions, such as Water and Refract, this means superfluous visleaves will be cut if using a shader without them, such as LightmappedGeneric or UnlitTwoTexture. If this is an issue, consider tying the water to a func_water_analog.
