Anybody got any ideas why my windows become opague when I try paint the door?I've sent a mail to Jordan Moore but thought I'd see if anybody here had any ideas.Before anybody asks,I didn't touch the parts for the glass on the bitmap.

Could it have something to do with the door moving? I think (but I am not sure) that the door opening and closing is an effect that is controlled by a different BMP file all together. Kinda like damage effects....

Is there any other BMP file in the Aircraft folder?

Just a thought....

Hi Cherokee,

There is another bitmap for the doors,but,I don't think the fact it moves is the problem,the textures only change if I convert that one bitmap back to 8 bit (from 24bit).If you look at the second last shot,I had forgotten to change the image from 24bit,and the glass is still ok.

I think it might be because the glass is alpha maped on, not a seperate transparent object. try saving a gray alpha map to the spot where the windows are suposed to be
