Try setting it for an "func_iusionary" entry and set "render mode" to "RGB" <- The color to desapear (usualy blue) and yu're done

Er, no.

Make the brush an entity, either a func_wall (solid), or a func_illusionary (not solid). Then change Render Mode (rendermode 4) to "Solid" and Render FX (renderamt 255) to 255.

edit: typo

Yeah, ShdwStal has it. It's usually a good idea to make them func_illusionary entities, so that players can walk through them, and they can be shot through.

LOl jus to make a point for those cs ns makin ppl!

You what? CS features really don't have any relevance in an NS mapping forum. We're all mapping for NS here, so all advice should be based on how things work in NS.

By the way, your signature image is far too big, the limit for this forum is 400x75 pixels and 22KB file size, as outlined <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=59710' target='_blank'>here</a>.

ok i dont get thos options when i go to info_illusionary i have rednor mode and i changed it to solid, i have a render fx, but it doesnt have numbers, it has stuff like normal, slow/fast pulse ...

so i dont get it

you're looking for renderamount. Render fx deals with different dynamic light options for lit surfaces. In general that is kinda difficult to use well though.

What you're looking for is renderamount. This value does a number of things in different situations. Usually it is used to determine the opacity (level of see-through-ness) of an object. Possible values are 0(none) to 255(full). With rendermode solid it will allow you to use masked textures and strip out the blue parts. Hope that helps.

By the way there's a mapping forum faq in the regular mapping section that has links to lots of resources to help you answer your questions faster, not to mention possibly learn about them before they become a question. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Whoops, sorry. I meant to say Render Amount, and not Render FX. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

Remember that to use the transparencies they have to be set up correctly. Two of them in ns.wad are broken :/
