Hi, I need help making part of a model transparent.
Ive tried to follow all the tutorials as best i could but it aint working. Im doing it wrong or sumtin

What ive done here is taken the existing texture and color in the spaces i want trans bright pink. then I add the lines :

$texrendermode "3b.bmp" "masked"
$cliptotextures

to the qc file. "3b.bmp" being the name of the texture i want trans on. I recompile it and go in game and its not trans but bright pink... help me im dumb. have i missed a step? completely doing it all wrong altogether? hope this makes sense.

Are you compiling with the right studiomdl?

are you sure that this pink is the last color in your palette?

im compiling with the right version.

what do you mean last color in the table? when i go into the color table there arnt any bright colors.. all there are is colors that are being used in the existing texture. to get pink i just chose pink and colored it in.

a hl texture has 256 color and the transparency color has to be the 256th color in your palette.

how do i get my 256th color on my platethingy.

which program do you use?

i have photoshop 7 if thats what you mean.

well, then PM molotov billy or some model experts. they may help you with this.
