Improving grass

Just an idea for grass: Would it be possible to make it more transparent from one side (the one grangers see when building)? It could be simply some other texture that has more holes in it. So that aliens could see from their base out, but humans couldn't see in.

Yes, it is possible and sounds like a very good idea.

Same idea crossed my epic mind the other day, but lets make it
- for Aliens only
- from both sides
- 100% transparent when close to it, 50-100% on other range

Then A (and wallhackers ;) have real edge on this

Just make it "ghosty" for Aliens only, and not just the one side.
What if granger builds it in a weird angle and a human can see right through it?

I think that that would require changes to the renderer, whereas just changing one side is a change to a file in a .pk3.
