Volumetric Clouds do not render with water in view
I've encountered a very weird bug where Volumetric clouds will not render whenever water is in view. I have tried different gfx files, different worlds, different visual settings and this is the conclusion that I have come to. In fact, you can try this for yourself. Just open up the tutorial 02- World.cpp, change it to load something with water in it, for example water.world, then add volumetric clouds.

Code:
Image cloud;
Bool Init()
{
...
cloud.load("LocalData/cloud.gfx");
Clouds.volumetric.set(&cloud, NULL);

...
}

Bool Update()
{
...
Clouds.volumetric.update(Vec2(4,4));
...
}

You will notice that they don't show up if the lake/river object is in view, but if you hold right click and pan over until they are no longer in view, the clouds will then appear.

Works fine for me, with water, but I was using:
Code:
Clouds.layered.set(3,Images("Clouds/Layers/0.gfx"));
instead of
Code:
cloud.load("LocalData/cloud.gfx");

Right, but that's layered clouds and I'd like to use volumetric.
