good alpha blend settings maybe @turpaan64

cvg_x_alpha cleared matters

note: D_80116280 may be worth looking into for alpha blend transparency
looks like it's commonly used to make stuff fade away?

Current Alpha Clip prevents fog, not ideal. Should take that into account when eventually batch testing

Alpha Clip @turpaan64

Alpha combiner cycles shouldn't use shade because apparently that makes stuff transparent from far away, for unexplained reasons

More test for batch testing

May be relevant for alpha clip (or any kind of alpha really)?

Manual 15.5.4 Alpha Compare Calculation http://n64devkit.square7.ch/pro-man/pro15/15-05.htm#04
gDPSetAlphaCompare http://n64devkit.square7.ch/n64man/gdp/gDPSetAlphaCompare.htm
gDPSetBlendColor http://n64devkit.square7.ch/n64man/gdp/gDPSetBlendColor.htm

gDPSetAlphaCompare(G_AC_THRESHOLD) makes a primitive draw only where its alpha is > the blender color register alpha

Manual 15.7.2 Transparent Surfaces, XLU_SURF http://n64devkit.square7.ch/pro-man/pro15/15-07.htm#02
Table 15-5 Antialiased Z-Buffered Rendering Modes, G_RM_AA_ZB http://n64devkit.square7.ch/pro-man/pro15/15-07.htm#t15-05

CLR_ON_CVG is meant for alpha blend. In that case the coverage value should be used unaltered (clear alpha_cvg_sel and cvg_x_alpha)

the zbuffer should (indeed) not be written to for alpha blend (see last note in 15.7.2 and table)

see also http://n64devkit.square7.ch/pro-man/pro15/15-07.htm#09 for description of g*DPSetRenderMode() flags
