its not really clear unfortunately due to the nature of the textures, however look at the rear blade - when the transparent objects overlap for some reason the futher away objects just are not drawn.

i'm just wondering if there is a possible solution or am i just gonna have to put up with it?

Lee mentioned something about dealing with draw order for P5. I'm not going to gurantee anything, but you may be able to do something about it then.

Hey Raven, is that shadow for real? Does the shadow map nicely to uneven terrain, a.k.a. decal, or is just a plain moving parallel to the ground?

If it is the first case, mind sharing a little bit of your secret? DBpro's shadow shading is way too slow.

well that one happens to be just a plain, however once i have my own terrain format up and running confidently i know of a way to use the projected vectors and multitexturing to produce the same results ... i might even be able to here - but i've not tried yet so won't go into it until i know it works.

i hope this overlap bug is fixxed, it might not be noticeable here - but when your actually playing its noticeable as hell
