im working on making some glass stuff in halo but i can never figure out how to make the image translucent. do you have to make an alpha map? oh yea and do i use the .shader_transparent_chicago? so confused..

and why chicago?

lets say that you want to make the ghost transperant (PC im assuming). Open the map u want. Find the ghost bitmap in HMT. Then Find the cryo glass bitmap. Just copy the meta # of the cryo glass and paste it over the ghost's and save. Then you have a totally see-through ghost.

ummm he's talking about which Shader tags in HEK

BTW its not the chicago tags because those are render only tags (don't have collision)
