I'm trying to get decals to work properly, but am having some problems. Namely, they z-fight with each other ( I think, heh ).

First I'm rendering down a lightmap, then using DST_COLOR - SRC_COLOR to apply the wall texture. Next, I render the decals using SRC_ALPHA - ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA...polygonOffset enabled, and depthFunc set to GL_LEQUAL.

At first, I thought they were just being rendered in a more-or-less random order every time, but it seems that the problem happens even when I can guarantee that they are rendered in the exact same order.

Options I've read about:

Use polygonOffset -- actually, I already am doing this but it doesn't seem to be sufficient.

Use a depthfunc of GL_EQUAL -- seems to make the problem worse.

Switch art and blend mode so that you can render the decals using DST_COLOR - SRC_COLOR -- This actually does have some promise, but I can't use this for the blood stains and pools that I need to create...because..they wouldn't ever show up on a completely green/cyan/blue/black type surface...there has to be at least some red in the texture in order to see anything.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
