Need some help with stained glass texture

[jorgebonafe]

I'm trying to improve the textures for the Deco stained glass on the Sphax pack, and I ran into some problems.

My issue is that, although the blocks are fine when placed on the world (as you can see on the screenshot, the colors are ok, and you can see the water behind the blocks) they show as transparent blocks on my hand and on the inventory:

Does anyone know what the problem can be?

These are the configuration files I made. Tiles 0 to 46 are the frames, the others are the glass.

glass_1.properties:

matchBlocks=3003
metadata=1
tiles=0-46
method=ctm

glass_1a.properties:

matchBlocks=3003
metadata=1
tiles=0-46
renderPass=2
method=ctm

glass_1b.properties:

matchBlocks=3003
metadata=1
tiles=59-105
renderPass=3
method=ctm

And my ctm folder:

did you check better glass option in mcpatcher.
know problem with double transparency blocks in minecraft

Yep, I did... I'm thinking this is a bug and can't really be fixed, specially since it's in MC 1.5.2. If that's the case I make the better glass blocks in world but leave them buggy in inventory, or leave the textures as it is now.

Another option would be to make a specific texture just for the inventory. But the only way to do that would be to change the code on the Deco addon.

i'm not sure but i think déco addon don't support tranparency item's !
When i was making R3D Craft i get this bug too...

How exactly did you manage to get layered alphas to work??? Regardless, I can’t recall any example of an item or a block in a toolbar with an alpha. Spawned water blocks for instance are non-transparent, same with portals iirc. I’d suspect it’s another rendering limitation.

Well, you gotta check Better Glass on mcpatcher, and then do that trick with the properties files on ctm. Basically you have a set of images for the frame, and a second set for the translucent parts. You can check the file I linked too see exactly how to set it up.

That sounds about right... I guess there really is no workaround short of changing how Deco shows the inventory item.
