Author Topic: When is brick transparency and FX going to be fixed?  (Read 1179 times)

I'm really getting frustrated not being able to see transparent bricks through other transparent objects, plus ones with brick FXs on them. When are these problems gonna be solved? I know they're low priority but it seems so far that we've fallen down to their spot on the priority list.

I wish that this was fixed, it's so annoying.

i never got how those were made


Im no programmer or anything but the cause might be the rendering engine making everything you don't look at can't see trough a wall disappear to avoid excessive ram usage.

i never got how those were made

1. stack a bunch of 32x32 baseplates of the same transparent color on top of eachother, about 7 or something
2. stack a bunch of multicolored baseplates on top of them, like red, then orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue and purple
3. take 1x1 plates of the same transparent color as the ones on the bottom and place them all over the top baseplate


How did you do that O.O

Ok, I know that one guy back in v20 found an obscure fix that allowed him to see emitters through water, but I don't know if it's applicable.

I was one of the people who pestered Badspot about fixing these in the Bugs topic in the dev thread. He insulted me in response and called it "lowest possible priority".

I still wish it were fixed too, it breaks one of my gamemodes that I was working on pre-v21, but I somehow doubt it'll ever happen. After all, every new revision introduces new content filled with new bugs that need fixing, and since new content is higher priority than fixing transparency, it will remain forever-low-priority. That's my guess.
