looks nice

Water looks awesome, and so does the fog! The fog in apr is way worse (sorry Maniac!) than here. I like the netgraph also, and the console thing sounds interesting. I think Maniac should use this (atleast toggleable) in next Apr version.

arnt like the most options toggable

I mean that the water things or console should be toggleable, instead of putting it in without beeing able to change it... Dunno if i make any sense but it's kinda hard to explain (maybe).

Can`t make the water work the right way..... it looks like a mirror =(

Your gfx card needs to support it. An easy way to see if is supported is typing gl_strings and searching for 'GL_ARB_fragment_program', if it's supported the console will show '...using GL_ARB_fragment_program' The console output will advice you if is supported, available or enabled.

set gl_water_reflection_fragment_program "1"
set gl_water_reflection_shader "1"

then vid_restart

Some other water cmds.

gl_water_waves; 0-10 (0)
gl_water_caustics; 0/1 (0)
gl_water_caustics_image; defaults to /textures/water/caustics.pcx (caustics-caustics8)
gl_detailtextures; 0-x.x (0) (a value > 10 is recommended, i.e 15.0)
gl_water_reflection; 0/1 (0)
gl_water_reflection_debug; 0/1 (0)
gl_water_reflection_max; ufff (2)
gl_water_reflection_shader; 0/1 (0)
gl_water_reflection_shader_image; defaults to /textures/water/distortion.pcx (distortion-distortion11)
gl_water_reflection_fragment_program; 0/1 (0) See the above information about this feature before running it.
gl_reflection_water_surf; 0/1 (1)

And ofc make sure the files are in place.
