The tga is just a skin for the 3D model. That's why it gets white. ithout the skin the hair is just a 3D mesh. There is a way to make that piece of skin invisible, but it will only work if you are using a non shining armor (there is a reason for that, but it is a looong explanation:D). Ok. Here it is. Open the tga for Carth's head, find the area where is that swig and mark it. Now you will have to create an Alpha Channel and paint the swig area black. You see Alpha Chanels add levels of transparency to a skin. White colored areas in Alpha Channel means no transparency and black areas means full transparency. Any tones of gray means...correspondent tones of transparency:p But, as i said if you are using a shining armor instead of a transparent swif you will get a shining one. I know it is not much of a help, but i think that better than this is not possible, as far as i know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the texture would also need a txi of the same name with blending punchthrough I tried that to the asian PC with a swig. The .txi does not work properly because, apparently, the game looks first for whats in envmap columm in app.2da. and apllies it not only to the body, but to the head as well.

RedHawke Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Originally posted by Xavier2 I dont know:D I just used the same expression as the thread starter... I think drateiri is referring to the few strands of hair that Carth has floating over his forehead... but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Originally posted by T7nowhere whats a swig? Well, down here in the South (yeehaw) we like to call it a "cow-lick" I think it's the 'fussy' random hair strands that Carth has. Guess that's why he's always in a sour mood (bad hair day). Carth is such a prissy little girl ps. the 'other' definition of 'swig' in the South usually involves an alcoholic beverage of the more...ahem... 'potent' varieties (rhymes with turpentine, and tastes about the same) I have some 'back-woodsy' relatives that ....well..er... brew their own... :: whistles innocently :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drateiri Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 i was using 'swig' as a reference to carth's girlyhair flap thing, on the front of his head. poor choice of words i suppose. yeah, it's a cowlick. well, thanks for explaining how it can't be done. now i can stop tying and get back to making carth the clown.
