Since the update, for some reason Targa files (with invisable parts) Are now 100% visable under other Targa textures, when they should be covered..

Could you show a clearer example? I tried it out and the alpha channel targas are working as usual.

The problems with my furries head
Try 3 spheres.. each one slightly bigger than the other like 3 layers.. the outer 2 are targas. Before the update this was 100%, but for some reason this is no longer works, and the top layer dosen't mask the middle one? |

Sounds like the same alpha sorting problem that SL (and most other 3D applications) has always had. If you weren't seeing it before, it was probably just luck. It's a very common glitch with openGL apps that transparent textures interfere with eachother in this way.

Confirmed.
But the problem is even worse than you describe. I did three spheres as you mentioned but I made all three surfaces targas. I found angles where the innermost sphere is not masked by the middle sphere, and the outer sphere does not mask either middle or inner sphere. |
