this question goes to ydnar.
I need to compile an old map again with more respawns.
There is a huge dolphin out of curves. The texture is glass.
If i can remind right i compiled it with the SoF2 SDK. And that is using another compiler. The glass looked right.
But now its like a fighting between behind lying glass surfaces.
Like the flipper and the torso.
I seems that this is a q3map2 problem, but y?
sounds to me like a depthwrite problem, I`ve had those with making custom glass tex and shaders.
I know you directed your question to ydnar, but on the off chance my post helps before he replys then cool, if not then sorry 
today i downloaded the old 1.2.10 Gtk for Soldier of Fortune 2.
i compiled again with this compiler (sof2map) and the glass (sof2 texture) looks normal.
must be a compiler issue. but i like the sof2map method much more.
can you tell me something about ydnar?
one can see it just in motion.
how can i explain?
its like z-fighting. if multiple glass surfaces are behind each other.
The Quake 3 engine doesn’t have depth sorting. The SOF2 engine does, to a limited extent. However it’s on a per-surface basis and not per-triangle (that would be prohibitively slow).
If you can reproduce this in a small box map using default SOF2 shaders I’ll be happy to take a look.

one .map compiled with q3map2toolz (q3map2 2.5.10) and the other one sof2map of Gtk1.2.10
I’ll test it when I get home. Mind compiling it with Q3Map 2.5.12 in the meantime?
y
apparently we need both the msvcr70.dll and msvcr71.dll for 2.5.12
another place to get them from is www.dll-downloads.com
