Well I'm using a 3do for a light fixture in my level with a transparent light beam, my issue is that any other object that is "behind" the light shaft is invisible until you move just past the boundry line for it. Look at the attached SC's for example.

Uncheck the "world architecture" flag on the thing.

thanks mate
lets see if it works

For your translucent textures, try renaming with "Z_" in front of it. ie, z_lighttex01

JK seems to render the textures on objects viewed through translucent textures in reverse alphabetical order fine. This goes for translucent textures rendering behind other translucent textures as well. Otherwise, you're limited to 2 or 3 translucent renderings behind the translucent texture before they start being clipped.

JK does nothing with alphabetical order. JK renders surfaces in the order they appear in the JKL. I don't know about 3DOs but it might be the same.

However, JED may write surfaces into JKLs or 3DOs in alphabetical order. So the fix can still work but it is not because JK renders things in any kind of alphabetical order.

That's probably it. Didn't know the specifics. Just remembered reading it somewhere.

Havent tested it yet but i'll let you know is the z_ idea works
