Masking issue with tree texture?

Hi all. I was adding objects to my project and I decided to make a 3D tree. The problem I'm having is that if I use the parameters "2", or "4", with "LoadTexture()", then part of my tree trunk / roots disappear for some reason. The texture I use is a 24-Bit PNG texture which has a transparent background.

Here's a pic of the problem I'm having:

Note: I CANNOT use EntityTexture() as the tree has more than one texture & I need the tree to load automatically.

And here's the zip file with the code as well as needed media:

For the above link, you'll have to copy & paste the zip file link as the forums messed up when I posted a long link, so I apologize for any inconveniences this may have have caused you!

Anyway, how can I fix this problem?

Here's the code:

Forest.bb:

Const APP_TITLE$ = "Forest"

AppTitle APP_TITLE$

Graphics3D(800, 600, 0, 2)

Global cam = CreateCamera()
CameraRange cam, .01, 10000.0
PositionEntity cam, 0, 4, -15

AmbientLight 255, 255, 255

Global sky = CreateCube()
EntityColor sky, 102, 102, 255
ScaleEntity sky, 100, 100, 100
EntityOrder sky, 1000
FlipMesh sky

Global mesh0 = LoadMesh("test02.x")
PositionEntity mesh0, -25, 0, 25
ScaleEntity mesh0, .1, .1, .1
EntityFX mesh0, 1+2

Global mesh1 = CopyEntity(mesh0)
PositionEntity mesh1, 0, 0, 25
ScaleEntity mesh1, .1, .1, .1

Global mesh2 = CopyEntity(mesh1)
PositionEntity mesh2, 25, 0, 25
ScaleEntity mesh2, .1, .1, .1

Global mainpivot = CreatePivot(mesh0)

EntityParent cam, mainpivot

api_ShowWindow(SystemProperty$("AppHWND"), 1)

	While Not KeyDown(1)
	
		PositionEntity sky, EntityX#(cam, 1), EntityY#(cam, 1), EntityZ#(cam, 1), 1
		
			y1# = -1.0
	
			TurnEntity(mesh0, 0, y1#, 0, 1)
			TurnEntity(mesh1, 0, y1#, 0, 1)
			TurnEntity(mesh2, 0, y1#, 0, 1)
			
			If x# > 85.0 Then x# = 85.0
			If x# <  0.0 Then x# =  0.0
			If y# < -359.0 Or y# > 359.0 Then y# = 0.0

			If KeyDown(17) Or KeyDown(200) Then x# = x# + 1.0
			If KeyDown(31) Or KeyDown(208) Then x# = x# - 1.0
			If KeyDown(30) Or KeyDown(203) Then y# = y# - 1.0
			If KeyDown(32) Or KeyDown(205) Then y# = y# + 1.0

			RotateEntity mainpivot, x#, y#, z#, 1

		UpdateWorld
		RenderWorld

		VWait 1
		Flip 0
		Delay 1
	
	Wend

End

Thank You so kindly! =)

Sincerely,

Simple put a texture filter at line 17

TextureFilter "eee.png",4
Global mesh0 = LoadMesh("test02.x")
