I just tried a viewer with this fix in it, and I'm pleased to note my fears were unfounded. The fix only takes effect when a face on the mesh is set to 100% transparency via either LSL or the Edit window. Until that point, even if set at 99%, the old behavior is preserved. This means that if you use a texture with alpha, it will still act like an invisiprim to 32-bit textures behind it, even if it's TEXTURE_TRANSPARENT, so keep that in mind.

Charlar, the only way you're going to be able to really squash both issues at once is to fix the alpha sorting glitch. Yes, that one. Since I'm hearing that's something that's existed long before SL even came about, that's not in the cards, and thus what I have will be broken and can't be fixed.

I hope this 'fix' comes in the form of an option. I have a couple avatars that use this 'bug' in certain areas. I'd certainly hate to lose it and have to deal with the alpha sorting glitch again.

Here's a few basic ones that nobody seems to have mentioned yet: Tiling option for diffuse textures (what we in SL know as textures right now) with UV mapping outside the normal space. Default would be 'Repeat' (normal SL behavior), with 'Extend' (extends edge color past boundaries) and 'Flip' (mirrors texture past boundaries), possibly with separate Horizontal and Vertical options. 'Sprite' option. This would need documented, but would cause the geometry facing a certain direction (say, positive X, like avatar meshes) to render similar to a static, unfading particle. Unlike a particle, th
