Transparent image

[Guest e34p]

I'm trying to edit a skin of a person for my own private mod.

However, when I open the model I paint.net just the yellow lines on the firefighter jacket show.

 

How do I get around this to show the entire image?

thanks in advance

I think you might have to get a convector.

The reason person skins are transparent are because of the 'alpha reflections' also known as the reflective stripes feature of Em4. Basically, the non reflective parts are set as 95% transparent, while the ones that remain opaque are the ones that will reflect ingame. Examples from a few of my projects:

For sake of editing, you need to make the entire image opaque. You can do this by setting the transparency in your image editor to 100%. Some textures require a converter as well to convert them to png from dds.

Thank you.

is it possible to change them back so that I can edit them?

Yes. See the transparency texture topic of TACRFan in this same forum. I explain it there.

Apologies, I can't find it. Do you have a link?

If you're using paint.net, go into that place and move the slider all the way to the right. If doing that doesnt work, use an image converter to convert it to another format.
