Barricade24 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I am working on a skin that has part of the model that I do not need. The model comes with headgear and I don't need that particular piece, I only need the visor. I have tried using a PNG file but no luck. What is the key to making part of an image disappear? I was able to do it once with the kilt but so far no luck with the headgear. This is an older version of the skin but it explains what I am talking about just the same. I am trying to make the thing that is in white disappear. I know that it appears white in modview but it should be transparent in game. But it isn't. Any help is greatly appreciated. Link to comment
Malkav Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Turn it off in the .skin? Link to comment
Ruxith Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 If you're only making part of an image file transparent, then you will need to include a shader for that image, otherwise transparency (I don't think) will work.This is the lines of code that I use for transparency in an image, you just need to change the directories to your own skin's image, and save it in a notepad as a .shader (i guess you know how anyway): models/players/jawa_kdm/robe{cull disable { map models/players/jawa_kdm/robe alphaFunc GE128 depthWrite rgbGen lightingDiffuse }} Save the image as a .png, with the areas you want invisible to be empty. Remember that the transparency won't show in modview as shaders don't work in it, so you will have to preview it in-game. Link to comment
Barricade24 Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 I have the shaders set up but now when I test them out in game nothing is invisble? I have gone to GIMP and cleared out the areas I didn't want and saved it as a PNG but everything is still there? What am I missing? Link to comment
Circa Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Did you set the PNG to transparent? I don't think simply setting them to white works. Link to comment
