Does anyone find that the engine ignores 'alphaGen const' under a value of 0.10?

0.1 = 10% opacity.

It's not that it ignores it, it's just incredibly subtle that you may not see it.

I am making a mockup HDR for something and have made 99 squares as small as the editor allows and making each square opacity 99.. 98.. 97 away from the thing that is to look like it glows, and then as soon as I start going under 10% opacity, it gives me a result of something that looks like 80% opacity..

alphaGen const 0.9.9245

Perhaps the engine is parsing it as 90.9245%... If I added a 0 infront would it parse it off as a 9?

alphaGen const 0.09.9245

[N|K]

Success.

Uhh... that really doesn't make any sense. Numbers are normalized, # / max value.
% values of 0 to 100 = 0.0 to 1.0

0.09.9245 is not a number on any number system. You can't have 2 decimal points in a number.

Quake 3 is probably trimming off everything following the second decimal since it doesn't know what to do with it.

This.

much like our decimal system dictates

seriously, two decimal points, this thread owns
