Regarding the original tankard model: misc_de_tankard_01

I've added a 'fluid' level inside the tankard with transparency which works great. I'm now trying to change the sides of the tankard to also have the same transparency and the same texture so it looks like a glass-sided tankard full of mead or whatever.

I added a NiAlphaProperty to the NiTriShape for the sides and adjusted the alpha to 50%. It looks great in Nifskope, but when I load it into the Construction Set - NO transparency on the sides (but the new top surface does have it). I've tried all kinds of experiments and I just can't figure it out.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I got some help elsewhere. One of the following two things was the probable fix:

19 NiSourceTexture>Use Mipmaps> from MIP_FMT_DEFAULT to MIP_FMT_YES
22 NiTriShapeData>Has Vertex Colors> from YES to NO

Nice to know, could be useful.
