The OVERLAY flag for particles enforces writing into the z buffer for special purposes.

Oh, some way for fluids rendering, finally?^^

I guess each particle has a constant z value across it's surface? ANyway, muuuuch better than previously. Thank you very much^^

Thanks!
But for some reason my 3D view which renders a 3D model into a 2D layer is invisible now

Are you comparing a postfix increment, like "i++", for rendering them?

No, I have to test a bit more, but the new beta seems more buggy to me

My PhysX ragdolls and weapons etc are bugging again, flying through some walls etc.
Im gonna stay with the old version until you are able to fix this.
For the views Im using this declaration:

Code:

VIEW *playerSelectionView = 
{
	arc = 60;
	clip_near = 1;
	aspect = 0.972;
	flags = SHOW | NOSKY | NOWORLD | NOENT;
}

entPlayerSelect = ent_create("Models\\player_new.mdl", vector(991337, -54785, -584132), selection_rotate);
vec_set(playerSelectionView.x, vector(991270, -54785, -584128));

playerSelectionView.genius = entPlayerSelect;

playerSelectionView.bmap = bmap_createblack(256, 256, 8888);
RenderViewToBitmap(playerSelectionView, pPlayerPanel, 1);

I see nothing suspicious with the view declaration. So the problem might be something else, maybe unrelated to the beta. The behavior of physics objects has not changed with 8.45, but there is a new function pXent_setskinwidth - you can use it for preventing that they move through walls.

If you can't locate the reason of the view render problem, please upload or send an example project to Support. We'll look into it.
