Maybe it is possible to go around the z-sorting errors with this code from the wiki?

Code:

---

function mtl_vegetation_init
{
        vec_set(mtl.emissive_blue,mat_model.emissive_blue);
        vec_set(mtl.ambient_blue,mat_model.ambient_blue);
        vec_set(mtl.diffuse_blue,mat_model.diffuse_blue);
        vec_set(mtl.specular_blue,mat_model.specular_blue);
        mtl.power=mat_model.power;
        mtl.albedo=mat_model.albedo;
        mtl.skill1=pixel_for_vec(vector(128,0,0),0,8888); // the first value in the vector is the threshold
}

material mtl_vegetation
{
        event=mtl_vegetation_init;
        effect=
        "
        texture entSkin1;
        dword mtlSkill1;

        technique vegetation
        {
                pass p0
                {
                        Texture[0]=<entSkin1>;
                        ZWriteEnable=True;
                        AlphaBlendEnable=False;
                        AlphaTestEnable=True;
                        AlphaRef=<mtlSkill1>;
                        AlphaFunc=Greater;
                        CullMode=CCW; // CCW or None

                        ColorArg1[0]=Texture;
                        ColorOp[0]=Modulate2X;
                        ColorArg2[0]=Diffuse;
                }
        }
        technique fallback{pass p0{}}
        ";
}

action vegetation
{
        my.transparent=off;
        my.flare=off;
        my.material=mtl_vegetation;
}

No, this won´t work, cause there are no values to sort if they are on one plane.

Now it works without errors, but I just see a black object!

It could be the fog setting for the pass. I forget the exact command off the top of my head (at work, no code to review). Someone want to help on this? fogenable=false ?? or is it enablefog=false ?? (which goes in the "pass" section of the shader.
