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?

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

And welcome to gametoast (first)

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

BTW thanks for the welcome.

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

thats one and the same, it all depends on how strong youmake the alphachannel of the texture

Yeah, I was right with my first reply

Sorry, I think you misunderstood what I said. Maybe coloured glass was a bad example.

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.

Thanks everyone for your help, I should be able to do it now.
