EnCore Mayne Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 i must have mucked up something in my Firestorm viewer. looking at the world with Transparency ON (Ctrl-Alt-T) used to show all transparent objects with a slight opacity. now they are 100% opaque. anyone know how to reset it so they aren't so solid?

EnCore Mayne Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share Posted October 30, 2018 no one? how does one change the opacity setting of Transparency Mode? having it 100% (completely solid) really obscures any details of the transparent object. i'd like to revert it back to its default state. i'll check the dreaded debug settings....

MoiraKathleen Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Have you asked in the Firestorm group inworld? They are pretty helpful when it comes to knowing about settings that affect how things are seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleMe Jewell Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Ctrl+Alt+T is 'Highlight Transparent' and is in the Firestorm Advanced / Highlighting and Visibility. However, for as long as I've been in SL, it has always been used to show things that are transparent and it shows them in red, as in the picture below. I've never experienced it as any shades of grey - I even cycled through all of the Firestorm windlight settings and still never got away from the red. I can't even find a place anywhere in Firestorm to override that red. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoiraKathleen Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 A little while back I started seeing both red and blue when I turn on 'highlight transparent'. Items that are using alpha masking show up in blue, and items that use alpha blending show up in red. It was my understanding that this was a feature added to FS, which I've found to be helpful. EnCore - is this what you are referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela Galli Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) She refers to Transparent Mode, maybe she means Highlight Transparent. Edited October 31, 2018 by Pamela Galli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnCore - is this what you are referring to? I am pretty sure you are seeing the two DIFFERENT types of transparency, Blended and Masked. That isn't the problem of the OP> I am not actually sure what that problem is :D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might not be the OP's issue, but I thought I'd put it out there, just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnCore Mayne Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 sorry for any confusion. essentially, whatever it's called, Highlight Transparency or my own redefined vernacular of Transparency Mode, it's invoked with the age old keyboard shortcut i've used since birth as [ Ctrl-Alt-T ]. i contacted Firestorm Support and with a heart stopping saving, clearing, and restoration of settings all is back to normal. still not sure how i managed to do it (picture illustrates the phenomenon) but all is good in Mayneville again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
