problem already solved... I installed the patch...

I didn't know the unpatched version was sooo bad... Or was there a better way to do this?

anyway Ive got another question:

how do I set the transparency rate of an object?

in DB it was only possible to use ghosting, but I hope there's some more advanced way in DBpro to set something transparent

u can set the ambient light of the world

set ambient light (enter 1 - 100)

and use a ghost object command with
a fade object command.

fade 200 makes it twice as bright where as 50 makes it half as dull

the texture brightness will also help to set it up correctly.


finally theres a command that flags all of the objects light fog ambience etc. and thats the set object command

I think there are some problems with ghosted objects, there is a fix listed in the patch 4 fix list.

so indi, with all these settings it would be possible to write a function which sets an object transparent at a certain percentage?

I've had issue with that in the past with fading of textured objects but sucess with coloured objects, but i've not tried for a long time. Since DBC infact.
