Thank you for the reply, but the problem I'm having isn't with the texture in-game as much as it is within Paint.net. Here's a couple screengrabs of the unedited file, then the file after applying the Relief effect: http://imageshack.us...nvisiblelk.jpg/ http://imageshack.us...tinvisible.jpg/ (sorry for the odd texture choice, it's the only one I had on hand) There are several plugins which can partially reveal the texture (steganography, emboss, ink sketch, etc.), though nothing has brought it out unmodified. In case you're curious, I have tried editing the transparency, to no avail.

Hello all, I work with .dds texture files a lot in modding the games Oblivion and Skyrim, and whenever someone else releases a mod that I like, I usually change it to my preferences (solely for personal use, of course). This occasionally means editing their textures, but some people have a way of making the texture "invisible" (as in totally transparent), yet still readable by the game as well as some plugins like Emboss. This makes it impossible for me to do anything with the file, and as a result some become completely unusable. Does anyone have any hints on what this "invisibility" is caused by, and a way to reverse it? Thanks for any and all replies!
