please

hellO?

im not quite sure what you meen ...
you want a player model without legs ...

or arms, it would seem.

would something like that be classifiable as a cheat?

How in the world would that classify as a cheat? He is intentionally making it harder on HIMSELF to hit a target so he can refine his aiming. I would think that to be quite the opposite of cheating.

yes...its 2 help me refine my aim..so i can pratice my 100 hiters with my grand...so i don't get 90dmg that much..if anyone could pease help me...i would do anything...

Well, I can't seem to make textures transparent.. best I could do if I spent my time is to make EVERYTHING one color, ei all white... except for the main chest and head which would be normaly skinned.

Delete the legs from the reference.smd's ..

Might cause some problems as Studiomdl will remove the bones that don't have vertices assigned to them which means your models wont be able to retain the hitboxes for the legs. Im not sure if the client will freak out at this.

Shouldnt matter on joining a server though as it will always use its models as reference - just be aware that although you cant see the legs/arms you can still hit them which means you'll find invisible arms blocking chest shots.

Well, I don't use any modeling software, just export textures, and redo them.. How would one make them transparent useing Photoshop?

in photoshop, press ALT+I+M+T (not sure of menu choices, it is something like Image, Mode, Table i think, to get the 256 color table from an indexed image)
chose the last color (bottom right corner)
make it a rare color (used to be 0,0,255, but now it doesnt matter)
color all the parts that you want transparent that color (example: 0,0,255)
used Jed's HLMV, goto the texture tab (lower half of the screen)
press the transparent button

Should work... there are times it doesnt show in the HLMV, but try it in game, it should work.

:crown: :crown:

What I was thinking instead was to shrink all the polys down to stick-man size (since removal might erase the bones)

(Jed, I am pretty sure that I have removed parts from bones, so they are just sitting there with no poly attached to it, and they still stay there and work fine, but, you are the expert, I am just wondering if I understand what you are trying to say)

legs, arms, equipment gone, have fun

US Inf invisble parts (http://www.4thidusa.com/dod/pmodels/inf.zip)

show me some fo' tows. i'm at college and my computer is miles and miles away :(

Umm, i'm just guessing you mess with the textures...:)..lol...but plz help me..I will love you forever :)

Yes, I made those parts invisble, convert the bmp to 256 8 bit color, then edit the pallete # 255 to some color not used in the model textures, then set the transparency of the pallete to that color, then import thje bmp into jeds , set the transparency button on the textures tab and done, also can read the link in my sig, How to make your own flags I cover transparnecy with JASC Paint Shop

oh snap...i didn't even reliaze..u made it..lol...i just thought it was text..TY very much :)

TY very much for the allies, but do you think you could make some for the axis?
