is it possible?

[JediSully]

To make part of a skin invisible? SAy, for instance, an arm?

[Apprentice]

Invisible: Yes

 

Not existent: No

[JediSully]

And how would this be done? Use a png and the part you want invisible be transparent?

Yep, or have a texture with an invisible shader applied . . .

[Omicron]

Or, in the .skin file, change the texture path to *off

[JediSully]

Oooo... omni... you come to my aid again

[Futuza]

If you want it to be slightly visible though, I would just use the textures from the shadowtroopers.  I think that might be an effect too...don't remember.

[JediSully]

So, tried Omnicron's suggestion... and got one of the more disturbing things I've yet to see in JKA. Not only was her arm invisible, but she had a gaping whole in her shoulder. And when she moved all kinds of ugly happened.

[Omicron]

Well, if you went the invisible texture way, you'd probably get the same result, unless somehow turning off the arm removed any caps there too

If you're trying to only make her arm disappear, weird crap is going to go down.  Ya gotta turn off everything if you want her all invisible.  (LOL: online hardmode: make Kyle skin invisible)

As told Omicronf fast way is to turn into *off the relative texturee path into SKIN file.

so if

hips,models/players/Jedi/hips.jpg -> hips,*off

you can make with every body part you desire.
