How do you give textures alpha? I've seen it done on a few maps, so I know it's possible. Do you need to add a .option for the .tga file or do you need to hex-edit the mesh? I've tried adding -alpha XXX line to a .option, but other than that, I'm stumped.
Help/advice anyone?
How do you give textures alpha (transparency)?

Do you mean how to add "holes" in the cloth, for example?
That would be in the FAQ...

No, I mean semi-transparent, like coloured glass.

Am I allowed to know what you mean with colored glass?
I always thought you can color with a photoprogramme.

Sorry, I think you misunderstood what I said. Maybe coloured glass was a bad example.Coley wrote:Yeah, I was right with my first reply
Thanks to DarthD.U.C.K for the alpha channel information, but how do I go about giving a texture an alpha channel.
Now I'm getting somewhere!

Just like he posted. It's under the "skinning" subheading. While it'll be a slightly different procedure for any given image-editing software, the concept is the same.Coley wrote:That would be in the FAQ...
