Hi everyone,

Could someone please give me the link to the transparent flags mod for JA MP CTF? I know there's been a release but I've lost the link and I can't find it.

Thanks.

It's much better cos now when standing with your back facing the wall, the camera moves and the flag obscures your vision, then during that period of time when the flag's obscuring your vision, you've just been pwned. Definately an awesome mod.

You did the flag mod? Awesome, its a very valuable mod :). I'm doing my bit of modding for the community too so I'm no freeloader.

Great job and nice idea ZDawg. The transparent flags are the most useful mod I have seen yet!

Yes thank you for the mod ZDawg. This is one of those mods that will not be removed from the base directory further on.

Downloaded it, looked at the shader file. Obviously a much needed mod, but I wonder if it causes problems w/invalid pk3's in MP, since it's just a few touchups to the models.shader, and not a new one. I'd doubt it, since shaders are a client thing.

Love this little mod, though!

Chances are it doesn't cause problems with invalid pk3s. It would make sense to release the mod client side rather than server side. Server sided would have just caused problems.

It wouldnt be possible to do it server side, as the shader files are run off the client, The shader was edited, but only the flag area giving it Q3 Transparent, and lighting effects, but the rest of the shader was left untouched.

I doubt its whats giving you an "invalid pk3" error, but if it is, let me know.

I'm not getting any errors, I just didn't know if it would cause any. I didn't think it would.

I'm guessing that this makes the flag transparent all the time instead of just when you're in third person and you're carrying the flag?

If you want, I suppose I could add a minor code fix to OJP so the transparent flag is only seen by the player holding the flag.

If you want to razorace. I personally reckon the flags look good transparent all the time :).

The flags are fine as a client side mod. No need to change them.
