Is the ladder against the wall, or in the middle of the room.
If it's the first there's no way to fix this cause the hoizon (or blackness) will show.------------------

I copied a ladder in texture edit, painted the (transparent) parts purple and then saved it as a new texture map, it works but only when i look up at it, maybe a problem with my video card??  IP: Logged |

Sorry, but that's wrong! The grey one right next to the black one is also a transparent one. Black is for seeing the sky/horizon. Grey is for seeing through to the next room. (Manual, Pages 54, 67 & 68. ------------------

I remember that in the manual, and used to believe it. But I tried using ANY color, and it ends up transparent. In fact, any surface with a color is not included in the room mesh, so you can see thru it. Very strange.
