Alpha shadows arn't casting..

[Scarlett]

For some reason, the map compiler (sof2map) isn't taking the alpha channel into consideration for the shadow casting, even though i have it setup correctly ..as far as i know anyway.

 

Here's the shader i'm trying to do this with:

Textures/Test/MetalGrate01
{
q3map_alphashadow
cull none
  	{
	map Textures/Test/MetalGrate01.tga
	blendFunc GL_SRC_ALPHA GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA
		alphaFunc GE128
		depthWrite
	rgbGen identity
}
{
	map $lightmap
	rgbGen identity
	blendFunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO
	depthFunc equal
}
}

 

Is there something else that needs to be done for this to work correctly? I've been at this for hours..

You need Q3Map2, SoF2Map can't do alphashadows.

SOF2Map is not good. Q3Map2 is evidence of a higher power.

Alright, i was going to try that as that's what most people seem to use. But sof2map seems to recognise the shader parameter... so i imagine there's a way to get it working somehow..

Alright, i've found q3map2 but I'm having a problem with it. Where exactly does it look for the 'Shaders', or even the 'Base' directory? It doesn't seem to be finding them.. and it doesn't tell you where it's looking for them, so....
