Search is still disabled, and a targeted Google search gave me nothing. I'm trying to take the cockpit texture, and make the textured hud and the little bars next to it transparent in the map. I hate this HUD...
I got it to go invisible by whiting it out in a .pcx file, but then I have the problem everything in front of it is transparent. If I want to use the Medusa, however crappy it is, it makes it even worse by making parts of the bars (that are in front of the HUD) invisible.
I've seen a bunch of .dds files that are transparent, or have stuff over the transparency (especially shine maps, etc.) I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this/what options I should check while saving/what do do to the file before I save in PSP8. I've made the area I want transparent transparent, made the entire thing a Raster layer, saved in about every type of .dds format the nVidia plugin thing supports, and I can't get the damn thing to work...somebody wanna help a guy out?
