I can't imagine you were involved in coding the render engine ;) Ok, what you want to say is that there is absolutly no way to create a stencil buffer, right? *sigh* I really liked to see it and rumors going through the internet about a HL mod with shadows like in Doom 3 *g* > The stencil buffer is never enabled by the engine, in 32bpp mode we use > all 32 bits to make the textures look prutty :) > > Marco Leise wrote: > >> A wichious circle.
