How u remove weapon from skin?

You'd alpha it out using a image editing program.

I am using PSP. could u tell me how it goes :roll:

 

[Sopho]

Yes sure

1. Open up your 32bits .tga skin
2. Go to masks > layers > load from alpha channel
3. Select alpha channel 1
4. The paint palette now should be white to black colours
5. Selecting the solid black, get your selection on the part you want to alpha out and paint it.
6. Save to alpha channel.
7. your done

Well.. didnt get it work. The painted areas just appeared white. but there was some problem when i was saving the tga with PSP. "Becouse of the limitations of the specified file format, the saved file will be limited to a merged image. Also as a result of these limitations, only one alpha channel will be saved."
any ideas? :idea:

Darn, thats the same problem I had. Maybe PSP 7 will work.

hey i know what to do, ok first of all, when exporting skins, make sure you always convert BLP to TGA, bmp and jpg dont work well, ok then, if you have PSP5, under Mask there is edit, once u click edit, it opens paint brush, and you just paint where u want the mask over, im glad i just found out lol
