Following the instructions on http://modenc.renegadeprojects.com/AlphaImage , I downloaded the original alphatst.shp and placed it directly in the game directory. But so far I haven't seen any lighted lightpost in any maps. What else should I do?

Are you sure you read the article?

Using Alpha Images

Using an alpha image is fairly easy: First of all, you need the actual image. Create it, turn it into an SHP, and store it your expand(md)##.mix. Once you have that, just put AlphaImage=yourAlphaImageFileName (without the .shp extension) on your object, and everything should be fine.

The original, unused, lightpost alpha image [..] is included in the game. It seems, however, to be wrongly named (sibmlr.shp).

So using AlphaImage=SIBMLR should be enough already.

It didn't work.
