Hi i would like to know how you make transparent glass in cod2 the cod1 tutorial does no help, i know how to make texture, but not how to get the textures to work. I am using photoshop cs3 and would like to know how to get the transparent tool to work.

thanks ukdjaj

Did you take a look at the creating custom textures tutorial in the CoD2 section? Because combine the making the texture part from the CoD and the CoD2 tutorial, and you've got a working. You may have to fiddle a bit with the settings in the Asset Manager though,

Well, i've been looking about and on photoshop cs3 if u click on file -> save web divices or somthing like that, anyway theres a button which you press adn it is ment to make it transparent but it doesn't, in the asset manager i alsoed noiticed a "transparent" box for when you make a clip i clicked that, tried it out it sitll doesn't work, any more ideas. and make a shader thingy but i don't get how u turn the transpartent thingy down to 16% thats the bit i am stuck on

The assetmanager makes the shader for you basically. so it has to be done through that program.

As for making the texture transparent, no idea,as I don't use CS3.. but in older versions of PS you could set the transparency in the layer window somewhere.. Or look through the help function in CS3 for transparency, blending or opacity or something.

I did attempt this some time back when I did hells keep but found the limitation to be the game engine,transparants just didnt seem to work like they should so I just stuck with modifying the orig shaders and renaming them,seemed easier for me at the time.

Ok, then can you tell me how, in detail you edited the original shaders

Thanks, ukdjaj

i also have this problem, i have made transparent textures in photoshop cs3, i have checked the little "transparent" box in the asset manager, and when i apply it to my windows.... all i get is something solid :|

Hm.. if you look in the .iwds there are some .styrda files... look in them and try and put them in to your own texuture and to know what that means, if you heaven't already, read the cod tut.

well heres what i learned, i know it IS possible to make a custom glass. i was looking through all my custom textures i had accumulated from other mappers and i saw this glass with flames on it... i tested it out in radiant and it was see-through... so i was opening his iwi files and found the texture, after opening it in photoshop i found out it was nothing special... so my thoughts come down to it having to do with the asset manager, because his texture in photoshop was not changed, it was solid 100% opaque

Well, i Have Just been fiddling around and i made it :

That is also MY mg34 =D
