If you have Transparent ones with Shaders on,your computer isnt good enough to handle the shaders,therefor hiding or messing with the shaded objects.

Probably not the case.
Delete the charachters .DBO and .BIN file, and then replay, it should work.

TATBS 1.8 is now fully functional. Brilodis is having its districts extracted to Battle City. Krina and Karin are twice the size. And you’ll see 5 times as many breeds of monsters... It’s Kalspher V3.

I don't understand the attraction to shaders. I have seen people post screenies, that show the difference between shaders and no shaders. I can never see the where it makes any difference at all. Both images look the same to me usually.

The person that now knows the most started with many questions. Patients and tolorance are the keys to the passage of knowledge. http://gamedesigntech.byethost7.com/

I have tried putting shaders on characters...but

Yeah it doesnt look that great.

It only highlights certain areas of the character.
And also tried to let the character follow a waypoint
that goes around the light.(used different lights)
But it is like the shader is burned into the texture.

So not like shaders that actually reflects the light like it does on weapons.

hi thanks for all the advice but i fixed the problem by running the latest beta upgrade. seems to have fixed the problem.

Im playing around with trying to make a crome character T2 style, seems to be working pretty well.

thanx again G.

also I did alot of reading of the manual and through the forums before i posted. and I'm running a HP XW8200 (dual 3.4xeon) so i think my computer can handle it.
