Texture editing

[Olorin]

Ok before you all send jarids flying at me *ducks* this is not a topic about where to get a texture editor i have the plugin for CS2 already.

i have edited the existing textures multiple times just cause i dont like some of the existing shields and such. my only problem is that my textures ALWAYS turn ou tin total chrome colors ingame....the textures themselves when i make them are normal but ingame they dudenly become glassy surfaces which reflect anylight source times a million. now i was wonderng how in carnation i could change that...cause i got no idea.

Thx ahead of time

PS: very sry if this is in wrong forum but i didnt knwo where else to put it

If you download DXTbmp.exe (Google) and open one of the texture files, you will see in the right top corner a little box labeled alpha channel. Double click this and it will open in paint (or your default program). White equals super shiny, black equals dull. Look around at other textures, too, because clothing always seems to have white alphas. It may have to do with shaders.

but i odnt really need to join the school the only thing i want is to be able to change this 'alpha' channel...and i just tried the DXTBmp prgm and i have a prblm i click one "create new alplah channel and it goes nowhere.

Is there a way to do it in PS CS2?

One should always make Alpha Channels in Photoshop if he has the program.

Just go to channels and if there isnt a alpha channel already create a new channel.Then ---> White equals shiny, black equals dull. So adjust it the way you want. Or just make all dark.
