Transparent stuff

Surfer · Post by **Surfer** » Tue Apr 25, 2006 1:13 pm

Something is terrebly wrong :S,

i started mapping on an old map i made for TS (The Specialists)
and there were alot of windows and stuff that were transparent in the original version, but when i updated and recompiled its all like... not transparent anymore :P i think it has something 2 do with my compile tools, OR my new comp is just messing with me, cuz i have both hammer 3.4 installed and source sdk... :S

anyone have a clue where the error is? and maybe how 2 fix it?

Thanx in advance

There are many possible explanations. Unfortunately, you haven't given enough information to help others understand your predicament.
Did you modify the windows in the new version?

By "update" do you mean ported over to Source or an updated Hammer for HL1?

by update i mean updated the map, like editing the brushes, but not the entitys, im compileing and everything in the 3.4 version of hammer like ive allways done with hl1 maps

You forgot to download Zoner's?

Can you be more specific? You were using { prefixed textures for transparency, right?

I'm gonna stand by Zoner's. Seeing as he claims to not have changed anything he just compiled it again.

tried zoners... didnt help, so its just me beeing stupid/senile...
okay here is the info you requested...

Func_breakable
name:
Global entity name:
Target on break:
Strength: 100
Material Type: glass
Gib direction: random
delay before fire: 0
Gidmodel:
spawn on break: nothing
explotion magnitude: 0
Render FX: normal
Render mode: normal (i think ive tried solid, and texture too... not sure... gonna try)
FX amount: 127
Fx color: 0 0 0
ZHLT lightflags: default
light origin target:
minimum light level: 0

Texture: glassblue2

its probably something with the rendermode, but when i tried with another map it didnt work when i changed it

Render mode SOLID
FX amount 255
gets rid of blue, for use with {textures

Render mode TEXTURE
fx amount 100-200
for glass

I might also add:

Render mode ADDITIVE
FX Amount 0-255 depending how bright you want it to be
gets rid of black.
