Removing the black/blue part of a sprite Created 18 years ago2007-01-22 21:59:13 UTC by Kurosaki Ichigo

I'm using an OLD comp with a crap graphics card and I always have to remove the blue or black squares/areas on textures manually (like fences and ladders). But I don't know how to remove them from sprites like the teleport one. Please help me out.

Set the 'Fx Render' mode to 'Additive' for things like sprites and set the 'Fx Amount' to '255'

As for ladders, make the ladder a func_wall and set the 'Fx Render' to 'Solid' and the 'Fx amount' to '255'

Black = The additive route

Blue = the solid route

Thanks for that! Also I already knew how to remove them from ladders and all.

That's actually a different thing entirely. If you chop the squares out, it adds all those extra faces in, and it could increase your r_speeds dramatically.

No! Not actually "chopping" out the area. I meant making it transparent!

Yeah, I know. I'm saying that there's a huge difference between the two, and what you were doing before making it transparent wasn't really an alternative, just an entirely different thing.

Thats what confused me. I also thought you were actually chopping the blue bits out!
