Wierd transparency bug..

[smoth]

I don't know if it is just me so I didn't post this on mantis...

Are you referring to the fact that the horizon is so clearly visible in the tree? Maybe the trees' alpha texture is not a "mask" but contains semi transparent pixels? If it does, then this kind of bug is real hard to avoid.

[smoth]

The area that is redering weird is not even 1/8th a pixel.

It's called AlphaToCoverage. check your gfx driver settings.

It wasn't this way back in 77/76.

I checked.

I did leave the alpha with semi transparent pixles, but It didn't effect it at the time, (in fact I sure when I did it I checked what I needed to do and it said anything not solid white would be treated as black... so I left it like that (lazy I know...) )

It does it for all transparencies. it isn't your fault.

The engine is doing something funny now.

since people felt that even my ignorant explanation was good enough..
