New client and transparence

[Ceriy]

Now I see rocks and barrels transparent.

Anyone knows if there's something to do, or I have to wait the next release?

[Nikodemus]

how can you see something transparent? ;s

[Idoru]

I have a similar problem with the grass bushes e.g. on the road to the magic shop. In a square area around the grass texture i can see through to the chrystal background.
Hope you understand what i mean...

PLease, when you encounter problems like this, attach a screenshot to give us an idea of what you mean.

I understand you perfectly.
Ary, if you don't know how does it look like...
well, imagine grass which is partially transparrent texture. Through the area where it is transparent you see the skydoome bluish texture, even if there are other objects in beatwen.

Problems with transparency are inherent in PlaneShift (in Crystal Space generally) . I came to conclusion, that reporting them is superfluous, there is no way that developers are unaware of them (at least for me is is rather hard to believe that they live happily without knowing about it).

It will become better, if:
 - CS developers improve handling of transparency/translucency, and it seams that it is not top priority task
 - PS artists will use extra time to adjust parameters of objects; it is time consuming and requires thorough testing of maps (almost every object must be checked individually including its surroundings)

There is one more thing: some areas for sure will be redesigned in the future (like it happenned to ojaroad map), so maybe fixing such minor (?) bugs would be a waste of time ?...
