I will add it to the modified G3d source with

geWorld_AddEntity
geWorld_GetWorldGeometry
geActor_SetBoneGlobalAttachment

i think i understand what this is for but i may be mistaken.
will this command take a defined color value and make it transparent on any actor, bitmap, brush?
am i right about this?
ive seen this tecnique used on trees, bushes, hair, fences, ect...
also will this possibly lead to alpha maps being obsolete???

No, this just defines the color the rendering window gets cleared to before anything is drawn to it. This is not of much use in game but for example allows you to set the background color in the ActView tool to something different than black (like you can do it in the Viewer tool now).
