hi there..

I don´t know where to put this correctly.. so.. i´m sry if this is the worng place..

Ok.. Questions:

1. if my skin has a black background color ( 24Bit no alpha ), and i set the OVERLAY flag to the model. How can i get away that black outlines around the sprites?

2. When i use a 32Bit TGA with Alpha Channel instead of that black background, the Sprites are all shown overlayed ( as if they are all at the same position ). i cann look through the first 5 rows.. the rows behind are cutted..etc..
Any way to fix that, so the front row is shown in front of every sprite behind...?

Dein 2. Problem kapier ich nicht ^^

Aber zum ersten: versuchs mal mit d3d_alpharef

problem 2 is shown best here:


The front row of the cornfield is the greatest part invisible, and i can look through nearly every line ( that makes it look accurate...
Normally, the frontrow should stay in front of all rows and hide them.. but it doesn´t.

Tried to use "layer"?

And what's the alpha-value of the first rows? 100?

the corn isn´t created via script. it´s model based ( via skin ).. So.. there´s no layer XD

Individual polygons of a model are not sorted, so it won't work unless you're using a shader that writes to the ZBuffer.

Jibb

hmm.. ok.. is there a shader like Julz said out there?

yes it must have Zwrite enabled, and you can set d3d_autransparency = 1; to use 24 bit textures with alpha....refer to the manual for in depth instuctions.
