Would it be possible to make it so emitters on the other side of a brick that has any form of transparency would show through? It's a little irritating that you can't see emitters through brick glass panes. This is likely a problem for Badspot to consider but I know there are also a select few people who know quite a bit about Blockland and how it works.
Example of the problem:

This has always been a major problem, and a pain in everyones ass. Its annoying. I don't know why it doesn't show through transparent bricks, but I wish it would. Hope this gets done.

I think this is an engine problem and thus not something a simple addon could remedy...

I wasn't really expecting an add-on to fix this.

Ah. I keep forgetting that not all suggestions are directed towards other players...
Anyways, this would be something that many people would appreciate though I don't think it's possible.

It's something to do with the engine. The way bricks are transparent does it, I think. To actually make it work probably eats CPU or something.

Hey, do bricks cast shadows? I don't think so...

They do in DOF screenshots.

Ah, that was it. It's always weird seeing the floating shadow of your blockhead...

It's very possible with engine changes. Bricks would have to be made so they don't make emitters invisible.
