<div class="IPBDescription">Transparency Insanity!</div> I've been going through as many combinations of solid and 255 etc etc as I can think of. What is the correct one?

If I don't figure this out quick, my head is going to EXPLODE.

    try additive instead of solid I think you'll find it easier

    Blacked out textures, including sprites and glows - additive (the render fx can be as much or as little as you like depending on how visible you want it to appear, either way the black is invisible)

    Blue { textures - solid, fx 255

    Glass and opaque objects - texture 0-255 whatever you think looks appropriate (0 = invisible 255 = totally visible

    Actually, on the masked { textures, any value between 1 and 255 works to transparent-out the mask colour (which doesn't even have to be blue, apparently...).

    I don't really feel like searching, so where can I find the better-looking Spectate texture?

    do you mean that the spectate text is different than the other texts?

    im quite sure I saw it in one of the wads which came with ns.

    When you choose texture rendermode, the face is rendered as fullbright. This is why you need to adjust the transparency to fit with how light/dark the room is to look right; a transparency of 75 may work for glass in a really bright spot, but you're gonna wanna go way lower in a dark corridor.

    As narby said, "Glass and opaque objects - texture 0-255 whatever you think looks appropriate (0 = invisible 255 = totally visible". Since glass and water work the same way (partly visible without glowing or taking out blue), you use texture. For !r25_stagnant an fx amount of 60 works nicely for me, although you might want to use a lower setting if you want that water to look cleaner.

    Fog can be in various styles. You could have illusionaries that have texture fx50-100ish in a row, forming a cloudy feel, or you could do it like the Miasma Walkway, with sprites. I, myself, shun sprites due to ignorance... Even though the usually look a good deal better.

    if you do use rendermode solid you shouldn't put it up to 255, at 2 it renders contrast better... (i don't know why and the diffrence is hardly noticible..

    Can you provide some evidence of this? I've always heard that any number greater than 0 works exactly the same.

    then they may be right, i took the info from my mentor "tal-N"... he's also quite a close minded **obscenity** now though so maybe he was wrong!
