This mod adds a few transparent glass materials, that can be obtrained by smelting stone at the smeltery:

Try building any floor and putting a transparent wall on top!

(Industrial floor from Audrey's Styles: Industrial)

This also works well with some furnitures that occupy full tiles, like tables!

(Modded floors used: polished stone floor from VFE - Architect; wood mosaic from Refined Floors; Floor from SZ_Floors; Industrial floor from Audrey's Styles: Industrial. The carpets are from vanilla ideology.

There is also a new glass floor which uses water shader.

You can even make a whole house out of glass!

Glass works great with texture masks

Modded furniture used: Vanilla Furniture Expanded; Chinese Traditional Cultural Things Expanded

Mod settings:

If XML Extensions is loaded, mod settings can be accessed from Options > "+" next to "Mod options" > TMaterials Glass

How this was done:

There is no custom code or anything, rimworld actually already supports transparent materials out of the box.

A resource can be make transparent like this by simply adding something like RGBA(168, 229, 255, 128) into its stuffProps. The fourth value is the transparency, however it doesn't work well when it is under 128.

Compatibility:

• Glass+Lights/Just Glass/Dubs Skylights: will use my glass instead. All addons should also be patched to use my glass, but make sure to load this mod after the addons (autosort should do it). Integration can be disabled in settings, for example if you want to use Scorpio's Resource Dictionary

• Soil Relocation Framework: Allows smelting sand into glass

• Medieval conversion mods: if conversion mods are loaded, medieval glass setting will be on by default, it makes various changes to glass to make it fit medieval theme. Otherwise it can be manually enabled in mod settings.

• XML Extensions: lets you to disable research requirements and Glass+Lights integration. Mod settings can be found in Options > "+" next to "Mod options" > TMaterials Glass

• ** (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3595670822)** - install this to fill holes between corners in when making filled rectangles of transparent wall
