Do transparent textured objects cast shadows?

As a matter of fact I don't know. I'll run some test with the skeleton I did, reporting back after.
EDIT: It seems they do not, I am only seeing the shadow of the arm, not the transparent shield.

can you Kuningas, or somebody, post a link to a fully transparent texture I can download and just stick in the proper folder. I want to make some things transparent, and I tried the dream_fog_2 but it's only mostly transparent with some small dots that are too visible for what I want.
I don't mean to just ask someone else to do work for me, but if someone has a transparent texture ready you could just upload it somewhere or email it to me, that would be awesome!

Gonna attempt this.
Was actually quite easy.
The texture file:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/mc6xwmj408z4i0b/empty.dds
And use with script:
Code: Select all
defineMaterial{
name = "empty",
diffuseMap = "mod_assets/textures/new_textures/empty.tga",
doubleSided = false,
lighting = true,
alphaTest = true,
blendMode = "Opaque",
textureAddressMode = "Wrap",
glossiness = 15,
depthBias = 0,
}

This is a his res blank texture lol. -1024x1024
I'm sure you could make it smaller.
I made it by creating a new image on transparency in GIMP and exporting it with the same settings you'd give a gfxAtlas.

Ah, I see. After digging around some more I also realized I have a clear texture set up already, for the clear walls for the dream room I was trying to work on last week! I can't remember who made that, but the file size is much smaller, like under 100k

I don't know why I though I needed 1024x1024 for this lol.

Y'know it's funny. This thread has totally gone wild. But I'm glad some people have actually solved their problems.
