Object transparency

The transparent texture seems to make the other parts of the mesh look invisible.

Did you add the "hardware_cull" looking lines of code?  I have a feeling that was required where the meshes intersect (could be wrong, it's late & my memory is fuzzy)
The Japanese concept of wabisabi:
The closest concept in english would be 'rustic'
They might have an old thing, one example is a favourite bowl or dish, it's broken, pieces are missing, why fix it?  With gold and pieces from other dishes?

The "cull_hardware none" and "cull_software none" lines make the texture visible from the back of the normals, case in point when someone F3s inside of a mesh, or when the normals are reversed. If the texture in question is visible from one side but not the other, it's likely a need for the Cull_Hardware Cull_Software etc lines of code.

If the parts behind the transparency are gone, I don't know what causes that.

My presets.

Good things take time, so I'll take an eternity and create something so good that the human brain can't handle the sheer goodness of it.

Is it just the one material? Or does it have other material pieces?
