The Ghostfence is broken #10

Closed zaphida closed 2 years ago

zaphida commented 2 years ago

With replace skybox and clouds enabled, gaps appear in the Ghostfence. broken ghostfence.webm The sections of ghost fence where there is terrain behind it appear normal, but any section through which you can see only sky becomes 100% transparent. The issue is not unique to the Ghostfence. Look straight up at the sky and cast a spell, and the spell's visual effects are not visible.

This is another case of #7. Unfortunately, OpenMW just doesn't expose enough information about translucent surfaces for the mod to be able to produce correct behaviour in these cases. It's unlikely that this will ever be completely fixed because transparency is hard for all but the most trivial shader effects (volumetric fog is not a trivial shader effect). Partially fixing it would require pretty substantial changes to OpenMW as mentioned in #7.
