Can't seem to be able to make the player sprite transparent

Hi,
I'm trying to make the player sprite half-transparent as I want to use this in conjunction with chasecam mode. I created a wad with two lumps with following content:

DECORATE:

Code: Select all

ACTOR TransparentPlayer : DoomPlayer
{
	RenderStyle "Translucent"
	Alpha 0.5
}

MAPINFO:

Code: Select all

GameInfo
{
   PlayerClasses = "TransparentPlayer"
}

I then load this wad as the last file, launch GZDoom and choose New Game, switch into chasecam mode but the player sprite is still fully opaque?
What am I missing here?

All work as intended. Apparently that mistake is in an somewhere else.

do you mean it works on your end with the wad attached?

Yep.
Drag & Drop - works;
.bat\.ico - works (gzdoom.exe -iwad Doom2.wad -file TransparentPlayer.wad);
ZDL launch works.

Thanks, it indeed worked when I removed autoloads. I then performed a process of elimination and found the culprit: version 1.32 of NightFright's Smooth Weapons mod. With the newer version it worked. More specifically, the older version had a KEYCONF overriding the player class. All good now. Cheers!
