so id like to ask to little things about transpacencys in radiant the first one is :
is it normal that, if i have a alphablend texture and a normal one overlapping and they are already snapped to the same grid that they are still like.. shimmering?
and the secound one:
is there a limit on how much you can blend out ?
third:
is it dumb to use terrain patches for decals/templates and if yes what else to use?
thanks for helping already

just figured out how to alpha blend and I was having the same problem then when I would compile my map I would fall through the Tpatch. I fixed it by making sure my base patch was a structural and not a blendable. bend the bendable texture into ur non bendable. If that makes sence. worked for me. hope it helps.

This shimmering thing normally should stay inside radiant(:
I had this error too but as I launched the map this was pretty much the only thing that worked.

If by shimmering, you guys are referring to the textures flickering in/out, I usually prefer to remove it for my own satisfaction while mapping. I just individually click the patches, change grid to .25, "ctrl G" on each; then if there are any pieces shimmering, I click both patches, and can usually find that the snap to grid has somehow misaligned then, so I just highlight both vertices, and "W" to weld. Hopefully that's what you meant, good luck!
