what beta? and what/who is bumpmaps?

Yeah?

actually transparency on arms isn't possible so...it would be black squares + ghost would help

Ronalds: The 3.2 beta if you have it, and look for "bumpmap" in the custom folder.
Vamp_09:

I make a semitransparent head texture yesterday... I've noticed that transparent =/= invisible... Even with a blank transparent .tga, there's a faint outline. So, any complaints would be immaterial

Transparency is 100% transparent...if you look at it from below. It depends on shader. It does show an outline if you look at it in the right direction, which happens most of the time.

I see... I stand corrected

wouldnt allowing joint textures allow players to make there joints demon or any other rare/expensive color?

or is it just restricted to bumpmapping

Anyone here remember Rag Doll Kung Fu?
That had customizable textures, but if you made them to be too transparent (i.e. invisible), they'd be replaced with a yellow-black ribbon texture (like you get around crime scenes.)
The principle might work here as well...

ok...ok... transparancy dosnt work Without shaders :P
