'First, add your UV mapping and what nots.
Second, select the thing to be your glass and hit 'M.' The properties tab doesn't matter much but change the settings if you desire.
On the Pass 1 tab, hit 'Vertex Material'.
Under the 'Stage 0 Mapping' box change the Type from 'UV' to 'Environment'.
Next, on the 'Shader' Tab change the blend mode to 'Add'.
Then on the 'Textures' tab, change the texture to 'ref_reflect2.tga'. Apply the texture and close the Material editor.
Now, right click your window and hit 'Properties.' Under the 'User Defined' tab, add "LVSMaterial1 = glass" without the quotes. Hit Ok.
Finally, keep your window selected and to go 'W3D Tools'. Under 'Geometry Options', select 'Shatter', and under 'Collision Options' select 'Physical', 'Projectile', and 'Camera.'
Voila, you're done.'

Does this make the glass transparent?

I noticed that when I host a game or play a multiplayer practice, I hear lots of neat ambient sounds in all the buildings that I don't hear when I join a multiplayer game. Is there any way to turn these on? Or was WW stupid enough to actually make them server-side?

Make up your mind, kiddies.
It wouldn't generate any extra lag if it was client-side. And there's absolutely no reason for it not to be since it's entirely unnecessary.

Well - Ack is right - in a way.
If you have to play the extra sounds - your machine would have to do more work - and if your rig is not good - you may perceive a slow down (lag - whatever) in game. (remember - it is doing all the calc's realtime then sending them to the server - the sound uses "distance vs volume" - major calc's)
If you have a power rig - with a broadband connection - you probably wouldnt see this.
Same reason if the host plays on the server - it makes it slow for everyone (Dedicated is the only way to go)
IMHO

All I want are two things, an obelisk charge up sound/animation... and some bloody icons above peoples heads when they talk!
The icons could be done completely client side, no changes to the server at all, it already has the who from and what information... just gotta draw the icons like when hosting!
[EDIT] (As for making the game lag due to extra CPU power needed... make them an option with the other detail settings...)

I generally run at 40-75 FPS with everything maxxed (I built this machine to run Morrowind, so it can take just about anything). Many games these days have options for sound to turn off things like volume and the like. While it is neat to hear a hojillion mines going off at once... it ain't THAT neat. And yeah, it should at least be an option. As for the obelisk, I TOTALLY agree with that, as that IS important for gameplay. It would make it much easier to time dodges between blasts. And the blowing animation hides the fact that the beam actually comes from a point above the tip of the obelisk (which, BTW, makes it a lot harder to dodge behind low cover).

Hey Chaps,
What's the best OFFLINE AI mod at the moment? I am not bothered about new maps, weapons or any gameplay changes. Just want a mod for Multiplayer Practice that has AI on all the maps. It is essential that the mod is activated through multiplay practice or something similar as i have no LAN or internet connection at all on the machine i play renegade on. Anyone know of a mod that fits this description or comes close?
Cheers.

LOL (Dantes girl is AI--LOL)
Dante does have the best AI maps
I have mine posted at RenegadeAmmo.tk, they are not as good of AI as Dante's. but there are some unique units on City and Volcano. Im trying to make some better AI with info from Dante and his Crew.

I got some alien vehicles that spawn and move around in my mod. Only prob is you have to shoot them (or something has to shoot them) in order for it to shoot enemys.
Although,it's often prefered that those alien vehicles don't shoot at you.
