ydnar, could this new system be tweaked to blend textures on modelled terrain. perhaps being able to specify which vertexes using those brushes? http://www.torchy.net/misc/2004-04-11-225718-map3.jpg. if this could be added ill buy you a few paypal pints :drink:
never mind its working! 
this is really great stuff ill try and donate some cash this week for your ride
@ydnar, it`s almost working perfectly, in that func_groups with alphamod volume brushes, are now only affecting there own groups, which is a big improvement 
but worldspawn alphamod volume brushes are still affecting func_groups, which is going to cause me some problems.
can you alter it so the worldspawn ones, won`t affect func_groups?
@torchy, cool, nice stuff.
@ratty, worldspawn brushes will affect all entities, mainly because grouping/ungrouping brushes into an entity, or selecting individual brushes in an entity is a pain in certain older versions of Radiant. As for your sig, it was mainly the “bombing for peace” bit which always struck me as a bit naive. But it’s your sig, and I was kidding, so you should have whatever you want on it.

@ydnar, ok, thats understandable, and since my last post Ive noticed that different alphamod shaders dont seem to affect each other? ...if thats right then it actually gives me more control over my work, then I thought I had, iow I`m happy
as for me changing my sig, I knew you werent being totally serious, but it did make me think about changing it, and for the most part youve been a lot more helpful then I imagined you would be, before I joined your forum last year …and since I hang out in here so much, I would now respect your wishes if you had seriously asked me to remove any or all of that sig.
off topic: on a personal note, I am actually a pacifist and have been for a long time, so I cant honestly condone any countries going to war, despite growing up in a country where weve been exposed to terrorism, and bombs killing people, for over 30 years, but that alone has given me a different outlook then most of you americans, which I understand are relatively new to this form of terror.
that doesnt mean Im not sympathetic to what your country is going through, and I dont expect everyone to think or start acting the same way I do ...but I know I wont personally ever believe in revenge again, no matter what Im exposed to, and I have been exposed to quite a lot over my life time, so as insane as this might sound, at least its an informed life choice for me.
but saying all that, I have matured in other ways since joining these forums, so I no longer feel the need to constantly remind people of my politics, and that is why I`m happy to remove those references from my sig.
you can edit that off topic stuff out of my post if you like, I wont be offended in any way, and I know I could of explained myself in a pm to you, but Ive got nothing to hide, hence saying this in public.
and even if we dont agree on everything, Im genuinely happy enough to link to your site in my sig, at least until I have a website of my own again, then I will be linking to yours from there… unless of course you object to being “affiliated” with this particular vermin 
ydnar, could you post the .map file of the original map you made your initial post with?
