Hi,

I have constant problems trying to use the overlay flag. All I want to do is have the black (RGB 0,0,0) areas of the entity not be visible by setting the overlay = on. My problem is that for some reason it never works when I do this, the black areas are still drawn.

I can do other things to get them to disappear, such as setting transparent = on and alpha = 100 (overlay = off)--and that gets rid of the black areas. Also using flare = on in combination with overlay = on also seems to do it. My problem is however by doing it in one of these ways it causes me other problems and headaches...I just want the overlay flag to work as it should without messing with those other commands...what could be the problem I have here??? Thanks in advance for any help.
