I am making a street lamp(historical kind) with MED and was wondering how to make the glass transparent?

I'm using A7 med.

I'll post some picy's after i find out how to get that fixed =_).

Just make sure that the part of the glass in your texture has a transparent alpha channel

Info about the alpha channel:
http://www.coniserver.net/wiki/index.php/The_Alpha_Channel

I followed the directions(tested one with Gimp and one with Adobe PS), but when I go to Alapha Texture File and try to load it, it says wrong texture format(and they're in tga).


Any ideas?

don't use tga texture compression. it's a saving option.

i'm confused?


Transparent=tga?



if i just load it up like a normal skin image, no change.

And if it i don't make it tga it wont be transparent.

what to do?

There is a Alpha Channel tutorial on the wiki.

Yeah thats the one i looked at. I followed it step by step, and used two different programs.


Created image, saved as TGA.


The question is though where/what do i do to apply this to the selected area.

Does the transparency not show up in med?

Just try to run it and it should be fine. MED+skin-editor+WED does not show transparency.

WOOT my lamp's glass is finally transparent ^^.

I'll post some picy's later.


Thanks much for help =_). Turns out I had it set right I just didn't realize you had to build/run the game to actually see the transparency .
