im pretty sure its possible but im not sure..
ok im pretty good at skinny designs. but i was wondering how would i make it so that some of the weapon is transparent and not the whole weapon(ie when you take the bitmap from the window). like make the handle and/or scope or w.e of a sniper be transparent but the other parts still visible?

ive been looking threw the forum for awhile and i cant find a past post OR tut. please help!!

Possibly and the cryo glass bitmap to that part? I'm not sure I can't skin to save my life

Ya u can
do u mean transparent or translucent tho? (completely invisible or active camo like?)
if invisible you can paste cryoglass over the part of the rifle you want invisible, doesnt work for all parts exactly but for things like the rocket launcher tube and body are different parts of the gun, so u can make one part invisible and otehr not. Same for many guns not just that.
You can also swap the guns shaders for stuff like active camo or the over shield or the jackal shield. I don't care if its a stupid/easy/noob mod i think it looks kick ass XD

Hey that's how you make some of the best mods. keep it simple!

this is done by doing shader swaps

*Example*

open bloodgulch

scroll down to [scex]Unknown PC Shader
open it up so you can see the 8 items listed

click on characters/jackal/shaders/jackal shield

after clicking on it look up top next to the swap button

you should see a code in a text box like the one for the jackal shield is 9F605C

so copy that then scroll down to [soso]Shader Model

click on a weapon or vehicle i will use the pistol as an example

click on weapons/pistol/fp/black

after clicking that highlight the code next to the swap button up top and delete the code then paste the one that we copied earlier form the jackal shield.

after pasting the code click on save.

then paste the same code from the jackal shield on to all pistol shaders.
they are
weapons\pistol\fp\shaders\black
weapons\pistol\fp\shaders\bullet
weapons\pistol\fp\shaders\silver
weapons\pistol\shaders\p lod

remember to click on save everytime you paste a code other wise when you click on the next shader the code you pasted last will go back to default.

so its like

weapons\pistol\fp\shaders\black
paste code
save

weapons\pistol\fp\shaders\bullet
paste code
save
so on and so on
after words load it up and your pistol will be a clear with moving blue around the outside.

edit the alpha channel of the bitmap, black is completely invisible, grey would be translucent
