Starmade | Transparency is causing other transparent items behind them to disapear. (sometimes)
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Transparent blocks sometimes cause other blocks with transparency properties to visibly disappear, but only from certain angles.

I have included a gif of the effect.

Not sure if this should be engine, since it is likely an effect from the way transparency is implemented, but it could be texture since it only effects things with transparency....

Steps to reproduce

Place a transparent block (eg. Mesh, Glass, Forcefield, etc...) and then place another an arbitrary distance behind it and view. If it is visible, try a different direction. Seems to be only some sides of the blocks.

Serverconfig (server.cfg)
 <replace this block with the file content, 
but do not remove the first and last line. 
Before using the paste function, mark the area from the 
opening angle bracket to the closing angle bracket>
Clientconfig (settings.cfg)
 <replace this block with the file content, 
but do not remove the first and last line. 
Before using the paste function, mark the area from the 
opening angle bracket to the closing angle bracket>
