The alpha masked geometry isn't supported yet, but you can use standard transparency for now.

Code: [Select]
{
"name" : "transparent",
"diffuse" : "255,255,255,0",
"Ax" : "0.04",
"Ay" : "0.04",
"m" : "0.2",
"tex_diffuse" : "diffuse.dds",
"tex_normal" : "",
"tex_env" : "",
"tex_opacity" : "opacity.dds" //< has to be ATI1 format in DDS it's alpha only
},

that effect seemed like be due to some hi-voltage cable being fallen onto it somewhere, you should probably call Enel, or what ewer the company there is .. and not approaching it too much.  ;D
