Hey, I wanted to make a ship completely invisible in the game (FS2 vanilla). How would I accomplish this if at all? Is there a certain colour in the maps that would be transparent?

0, 255, 0 i belive... though i don't know if fs vanillia supports it though...

Paint it with a texture called invisible.bmp and everything will be invisible.

(The small i may be important. I seem to remember it not working when I tried using Invisible.bmp)

If there's only a couple of these ships appearing at a time texturing it normally and then using the texture replacing options in FRED2 might be a better option cause then you could have visible ships of the same class too

Okay, so I make a bmp that only has colour 0,255,0 and name it invisible.bmp and use it to texture the whole ship? I'm not sure if that smilie of yours means you're making a joke or not

No, it's two seperate solutions. Either use a pure green texture map, or simply use invisible.bmp as the name of the texture of your ship, but don't make one, FS2 will render it invisible (?) automatically

As flipside says you have two choices. A pure green texture with any name you choose or texture the ship with a map called invisible.bmp but DO NOT add an invisible.pcx file to your FS2 folder like you would with any other custom texture.
