    Re: Need help with Alpha layers ... calling Abraxa!

    Channels and layers are on separate tabs.





    On the channels tab of your TGAs you must have 5 channels: RGB, Red Green, Blue, Alpha1. When the first 4 channels are selected (as it normally is) the texture appears in its ordinary shape.

    When you select the Alpha together with the other channels, it makes appear the transparencies in purple, over the texture



    If you select the alpha only, you can clearly see it's black and white only



    Anyway, after a first check, looks like your alphas are ok, Kami

    Sweet ta ... but honestly, the MiG-3 alpha layer as copied from the .psd WAS purple!

    Re: Need help with Alpha layers ... calling Abraxa!

    Crap, I forgot to add this!

    The background of your TGAs MUST be grey. Black background is NOT accepted by Oleg &C, since it seems it may cause problems.
    Take care to fix this or your work will be wasted!

    For uploading your skins, I sent Oleg a download link. Otherwise, you can ask him where to upload them. can't help you on this, sorry.

    Re: Need help with Alpha layers ... calling Abraxa!

    Does it acutally have to be grey or can I just use any color other than black?

    ie. can i use the blue on the base of the aircraft? which in my template covers the whole area

    yeah, they gave us instructions drop by drop
    A lot of wasted time...

    you're lucky you just have to fix the il2. I had to redo all my TGAs with new backgrounds. They forgot to tell me after the first check...

    Can't say... It is probably ok, but Oleg asked me for grey... so I'd stick to that if I was in you.

    no specific grey was requested. An average grey, not too dark, should be ok
