Is this the same process for making a linedef that is textured on one
side, appearing solid, but is transparent on the other. (as is the case
in the green slime room in e2m1 (secret hiding spot).
Also, when using DEU 5.21, I have had some trouble with walls that, when
playing the .wad, they will dissapear, allowing you to see into the room
on the other side, (or across the map) but when you turn slightly, or
move, the wall then re appears.
I also have trouble with texture "bleeding" where a certain texture will
spill over onto another area when viewed at a certain angle. I have seen
no reason for these problems, and know of no solutions.

: No problem.
