Reflections in Kadish puddles are using env maps for Vault vase reflections

Found this some months ago and Briggs helped track down the cause.

Reflections in at least one of the Kadish puddles on the path are using reflections indicating stone/wood surroundings when there is nothing matching that in the environment.

It appears to be using the KdshVaseEnviro_BK.tga file for the cubemap.

Actually, that puddle, and the little ponds next to the second scope (the ponds you cannot walk in) use this cubic map texture for the hood which is the same for all six faces:

I am 100% certain of this because I have recognized the barricade and cone of this image in all of the listed bodies of water.

But yeah, the use of these textures has always been rather jarring.

The puddle next to the Nexus book and the puddle going through the broken ring structure appear to use the enviro map of the pillar room instead.

IIRC while doing the macOS/Metal port, it was discovered that one of the Kadish environmaps also has one side that's a different size than all the others. I think it was the vase.

I agree. When I first played through Kadish, I strongly considered whether there was a clue in the fact that the puddle's reflection appeared to show me a place that wasn't the cave in which it sat. Given the fake doors already encountered as part of the Age, this wasn't totally unreasonable.

It would be nice to have them fixed to be accurate. :)

Oh yes, that's totally it! And I'm glad other people have found these perplexing as well, haha.
