DeeZire Online - View Single Post - Generals models... planes with opacity maps (transparency)

Ok, so what I'm basically aiming for here is to make a grid of bars, but using a plane with opacity maps. The bars were applied to the plane, with black as what I want transparent. However, it comes out with two problems.

Problem 1) The opacity on the barcage works like the muzzle flash one. Meaning the black is transparent, as it should be, but brownish color the bars are is also slightly transparent. What settings should I be using to make black transparent, but everything not black opaque?

Problem 2) The plane is invisible from one side. If you see it ingame facing in one direction, you can see the mesh, but if you see it from the other side its as if it isn't even there. I know there's some setting in renx to make both sides visible, but I forget what it is.

Anyway, I'd appreciate the help. If I was vague explaining, let me know and I'll try to elaborate.
