why kill it kill please im begging you kill it

$mostlyopaque is quite buggy though in most branches, sometimes models will render infront of transparent materials and prone to worse sorting, $opaque models dont cast shadows on the transparent materials from my experience and does not have the same issues.

The only real difference is that models with $opaque tell the game to render it in a single render pass and $mostlyopaque is a double render pass and affects sorting, it does not tell the engine that the model has no transparent materials but rather that the existing ones are a small portion of the model and be sorted accordingly if it has any at all.

thanks all

It has to do with the textures and materials of the model, so because the model has transparent and opaque textures and materials, Source automatically decides which ones are the priority. (In most cases the transparent materials are a higher priority)

So by putting "$opaque" you're telling Source that the model has no transparent textures, meaning that even transparent textures will cast shadows.
But by putting "$mostlyopaque" you're telling the engine that it has both.

I couldnt even tell you WHY this happens, as the behavior is very inconsistent on a model by model basis, but since adding $opaque/$mostlyopaque fixes it, its probably something to do with how Source is incorrectly sorting the model, and causing shadows to not be projected right, source spaghetti.
