Now, open it in some kind of photo editing software, and change the picture to a .png. {If you can't do it, just post the picture and I'll do it.} Now, go into Materials {FeralHeart->Media->Materials} and open up the "water.MATERIAL file. When it says that it doesn't know what to open it with, choose NotePad to open the .MATERIAL file. Find the last "{" (Scroll all the way down in NotePad) and press enter. Now, paste this into it:

material IceWaterMat
{
   technique
   {
      pass
      {
         lighting off
         cull_hardware none
         cull_software none
         scene_blend alpha_blend
         depth_write off

         texture_unit
         {
            texture ice.png
            scale 0.9 0.9
            scroll_anim -0.05 -0.05
            colour_op_ex add
         }
         texture_unit
         {
            texture waterTex2.png
            scale 1 1
            scroll_anim -0.08 0.1
         }
      }
   }
}

Once you've done that, change the name of the picture that you changed into a .png file to "ice". Now, open FeralHEart, go into map maker, click on either Ocean Material or Water Material, and type in "IceWaterMat". If it doesn't work, go over it again.

Do you like how this looks?

Here you go! http://www.mediafire.com/?98a50i11md0ef99 (http://www.mediafire.com/?98a50i11md0ef99) Put the material file and the .png into the my_objects folder. Copy the material file into the Materials folder. Go into object maker, load "basicCube.mesh", erase "rockMat", put in "iceMat", and there you go.
