Blue Marks?


07-05-2003, 02:46 PM
I'm curious as to why some of the custom rifles have blue marks on them. I was re-origining both a kar and an enfield reskinned by dillinger, and I have come across blue marks:

There is also a bit on the back metal piece on the kar. So I decided I'd find differnet rifles. I go to use bots enfield, and notice the same blue dots on the left side of the clip. I'm not the only person to have these too. I have seen it without changing the origin, as well as other people that I know use them. Can something be done about them?

well, i am NOT an expert or anything...but i know that blue stuff is the transperancy (like u can see the level through a small hole on that enfield rifle) and sometimes that gets messed up and it appears blue.... not sure about the blue mark on the back though, any experts please help this man? i ain't got a clue:D

It's all transparency. If you decompile the model, you have to put

$texrendermode "skinname.bmp" "masked" in the .qc (for masked transparency).

hey whats origins did u use for that?

$origin 0 0 0 like in that form?

From whatever the original origins were on that model, I used:
$origin -1 -26.5 -2

The new decompiler just released retains the transparency lines in the qc, so be sure and use that one from now on and you'll avoid that problem.

Yeah, but the problem is I was using MS to compile and it won't recognize the $texrendermode command. So I have to use the stand alone studiomdl.exe to compile stuff with transparencies :-(

It's just bad transparencies.

I get it with my p_luger model (distant sounds).

Well, when I used studiomdl.exe and do it through dos, it clears everything right up. Just a pain to use different programs and such.
