Translucent textures with WorldVertexTransition

[defragen1]

Basically I'm trying to blend a texture with a completely transparent texture

I have mapped for ep1 for a long time and I was aware of the limitations of WorldVertexTransition
It didnt support textures with alpha...

yea well now I'm using the alien swarm SDK ( source2010 )
I'm assuming WorldVertexTransition supports translucent textures now
I even remember seeing in tf2 a gravel texture being blended into a 0 alpha texture

As a test
I'm trying to blend this texture of leafs into a completely transparent texture

first I tried





then I tried



what is wrong?

Try commenting out blendtexture.

[defragen1]

just makes it look worse




and ingame the alpha is not working ( like in hammer )

Try

Code: Select all

"$alphatest" 1

instead of

Code: Select all

"$translucent" 1

Try

Code: Select all

"$alphatest" 1

instead of

Code: Select all

"$translucent" 1

its still the same ( in game and hammer )

Try making the second blend texture 1 instead of 0 opacity. I found this can fix many transparency issues.

If all else fails, since I assume your using this to make leaves over something else just make it an overlay.

The shader does not support translucency.

[Kremator]

Code: Select all

$alpha <normal>

Value can be 0-1 basing on how much you want it to be transparent, however, this is probably what you're not looking for as it affects the whole displacement not just your specific texture. Unfortunately this is the only translucency-related parameter that is guaranteed to work on worldvertextransition. Note also that any brush textured with $alpha material will immediately be ignored by VIS.

create that sprite with SprayR and tadaa, its transculent^^ i use sprayR to comile spraylogos ingame quickly and transculent effects always worked...

The shader does not support translucency.

what a shame.

and you would think source2010 would finally surpass unreal2...
