How can you make certain parts of a text Created 14 years ago2010-02-03 23:00:46 UTC by Suparsonik

[EDIT] Damn title character limit... Anyways, How can you make you make certain parts of a texture see through? I'm trying to do it with a cell door, but it isn't working quite well. I put the blue that shows up transparent in-game in the spots, but it isn't rendering right. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

It has to be the 255th colour of the palette, and the entity has to be set to rendermode solide 255.

so it has to be an entity to be transparent?

Rendermode texture works as well, but makes it full-bright.

Still does not work.

I've did both of the things you said for me to do and nothing is happening.

give us a screenshot of the properties.
Also, potatis; That makes the entire texture transparent, not just the blue.

and here's the screenies.

Everything seems alright, it should work. Remember it won't be transparent in Hammer, only in game.

I know it won't be transparent in hammer. I just don't know why it won't be transparent in-game.

@JeffMOD: No, not with a >0 renderamount.

It's probably because your blue color is not the 255th color of the palette as seen in Wally when the texture is within the WAD, not within Photoshop or whatever you're using to edit the BMP outside the WAD (chances are it's a 24 bit bitmap in which case you have quite a lot more than 255 colors, which are then converted to a 255 color palette when you drop it into a WAD.)Go under the Color menu and select Edit Palette to see what the texture's palette looks like. If it's wrong you go under the Colors menu again and click Translate Colors to swap the indexes around so the blue color you used for transparency is actually the 255th color. Use the eye dropper tool over whatever area you want and it'll even tell you if it's in index #255 or not.

Did what srry said, it works finally now!thanks man.
