My water and my metal-with-holes textures are annoying me. I have the metal on top of the water but the water looks on top in the engine. How do I get around this cos it quite annoying! lol

That's a known problem.
The engine doesn't know which segment to render first, since they both have transparent parts.
You could try to make the alpha of the "metal with holes" texture a cut out.
You have to make sure that the alpha channel only contains black or white, not grey.
Look at this: http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/9740/...e42ie1.png
In the first picture is an image without any transparency.
Now I add an alpha channel (Picture 2), which makes it look like Picture 3.
As you can see, there are different greys in the alpha channel. That's what the engine has a problem with.
In the 4th picture you can see that the alpha channel only consists of black and white, resulting in picture 5.
A "metal-with-holes" texture can be done with cut-outs.

If you don't know how to make it a cut-out, just send me a pm with a link to the texture, or e-mail it to. (erik_kemmer -youknowwhatgoeshere- yahoo -dot- de)
