KingMetal Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Hi all, first: my english is not so good. i want to make a texture mod for stalker. so i want to make new blood textures. my problem is this: i want to make it with Paint.NET (of course). i have the texture. Next to the blood i deleted all, because it must be invisible. i must save as a dds data and i have the options: DXT3 or DXT5, with mip maps. but when i saved it there are the invisible places black or white. but it must be invisible. i dont know witch options i have select (for exemple ErrorMetric) for invisible places. please help me and be not so bad with my poor english .

Ego Eram Reputo Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 I think our friend KingMetal is looking for help with transparency. Is that right? The gray and white checker board pattern is Paint.Net's way of telling you that that part of an image is transparent.

KingMetal Posted March 5, 2010 Author Share Posted March 5, 2010 Because i want to know how i have to save it. And i wont to create an account on another server. I have enough accounts i think. And why couldnt you answer on my question? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkut Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I'm thinking that the way you need to save the file for transparency in the game may be determined by the game software. People on the game forums are more likely to know how to do it if that is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
