Having trouble getting transparent textures to work

#1
I'm trying to set up a basic window texture with transparency, but it doesn't appear to be working at the moment.

I originally went with a 32bit .TGA with an alpha channel, but this didn't appear to work correctly. I then tried using separate .jpg images. Neither has worked.

I've currently got three image files:
  • glass-lineframe.jpg
  • glass-lineframe_alpha.jpg
  • glass-lineframe_gloss.jpg
I've also tried a simple shader script (basically taking the hexglass shader and substituting my image name). Still nothing.
Code:
textures/map-aeris/glass-lineframe
{
       q3map_bouncescale 3
       qer_editorimage textures/map_aeris/glass-lineframe.jpg
       dpreflectcube cubemaps/default/sky
       dpnoshadow
       surfaceparm trans
       surfaceparm alphashadow
       q3map_lightmapSampleSize 64
       {
               map textures/map_aeris/glass-lineframe.jpg
               blendfunc blend
               rgbgen lightingDiffuse
       }
       {
               map $lightmap
               blendfunc GL_DST_COLOR GL_ZERO
               rgbGen identity
       }
}
The two main things I'm trying to accomplish are:
  • Have the texture render with transparency.
  • Have vis/light allow light through the texture when they calculate lightmaps

Ok - tried that. Doesn't appear to have changed anything :/

Hmm, is there any way to see what shaders are being applied, I've been combing the output from the map build and noticed the following line:
Code:
Map has shader script /home/notavi/.xonotic/data/maps/../scripts/q3map2_aeris.shader
But that's not the shader script I created and I can't see it inside that path.... 
It does then proceed to parse the correct script but I've got a sneaking suspiction NetRadiant is being "helpful" and generating a shader script for me which is overriding the one I'm deliberately preparing.
Not sure how to confirm or disprove this theory at the moment though...

There's a 'shaderlist.txt' next to all shaders you need to make one in the scripts folder like this if you haven't:

It actually turned out to be something a lot dumber than that.
In my shader, the path that was typed was 'map-aeris', not 'map_aeris'.
Fixed that and now it's working properly.
