Strange texture problem.. :\

Postby donatrix » Sun Aug 01, 2004 7:56 am

Hi, i've recently had a go at repainting the PMDG 737 , however when i load it up and play it ingame, the textures work but its very 'shiny' to the point of metalic.

And since my repaint was designed to give the plane a more 'dirty' (dust etc.) look, this isnt exactly what i wanted.

is there a cure for this?

hmm thats the alpha channel which is still there but must be completely black.. try opening the texture file in DTXBMP then click alpha.. send to editor.. make it a light grey then save it. go back to dtxbmp and click alpha refresh alpha and it should show in the top left hand corner.. then save as extended image again :D

on the alpha channel white = not much shine and black = chrome so the darker you get the more shinier it gets :D

hope this helps
