How to use 'Alphatest32' in rvmat

[mikebart]

Does the alphatest32 renderflag only work with basic materials like for e.g. bodlak? im using a normalSpecularThroughNoFade for the vertex shader but I want to get rid of the pixelated edges.
normalSpecularThrough seems to be a little bit alpha tested anyway, but I dont want to fade my alpha's out, so im using a _NO instead of a _NON.

to take rid of the pixelated edges, you have to use both AlphaInstancing and alphatest64 renderflags.

Also, for the VS you have to use either NormalMapSpecularThroughNoFade or NormalMapSpecularThrough

It&#39;s not important if you use the _NO instead of the _NON because that is not a problem.

I use this RVMAT for my Vegetation in my HDT island:
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">ambient&#91;&#93; = {0.4,0.4,0.4,1};

forcedDiffuse&#91;&#93; = {0,0,0,1};
emmisive&#91;&#93; = {0,0,0,1};
specular&#91;&#93; = {0,0,0,1};
specularPower = 1;
PixelShaderID = &#34;Grass&#34;;
VertexShaderID = &#34;Basic&#34;;
mainLight = &#34;Sun&#34;;
renderFlags&#91;&#93; = {&#34;AlphaInstancing&#34;,&#34;AlphaTest64&#34; };
fogMode = &#34;Fog&#34;;[/QUOTE]

hey Linker Split

could this be used for the standard ArmA vegetation as well?
does it any good for it?

[Linker Split]

yes, it can be used for standard Vegetation texture of course, and you will have better performance and FPS due to the fact that this RVMAT doesn&#39;t use any type of shader, so basically the engine will not run any NM ans SM

Thanks for that Linker split, yeah thats the pretty much the material I got the renderflags from, I just didnt think alphaInstancing had anything to do with it, should of tried that though, cheers.
