The current fading system uses a modifier against ShaderParm 3 http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Alpha-fading http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=List_of_shaderParm_variables This means that lit materials, use alpha-test (threshold) whereas unlit materials can use regular alpha. Ideally, both fading types would be overridden by something that does a distance based (percentage) alpha-blend against _currentRender after rendering the model. In theory, we could modify these grotesquely large materials shaders to accept alpha fading but ideally we wouldn't use that approach: http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Making_Semi-transparent_textures |

Does any map utilize this approach for me to test? |

I'm fairly certain the Cattails LOD model in the outside forest in Alberic's Curse is using alpha-test with LOD fading. Less certain, I think the vegetation outside in Builder Roads also uses alpha-test with LOD. |

maps\test\seed_vegetation.map has the alpha fading entities and they still work. |
