OK.. I got it working.. phew! Simply create your textures with the desired alpha setting depending on how transparent you want it. You need at least two images so you can create a VBM. Use makevbm with the 4444 format. Create an airbrush somewhere in your map that doesn't get used for anything else and texture it with your new vbm and that's all there is to it. Just use you new texture in your liquid room effect just like the default one. The only thing is you won't see it until you actually play the map. They won't render in the editor's free look window... at least not for me.

Quoting goober To have any transparency on a VBM at all you have to add it to maps3.vpp no.. you just have to make shure it ends up in your map vpp after you create packfile and when you play ingame there'll be transparency if your vbm has transparency.. no need to add it to any default rf vpp's unless you want to be able to see it in the editor insted of just default texture...

I did a test before I posted. I made a vbm with transparency, made it my water room effect texture, stuck it also on a wall so it gets automatically added to the vpp, tested map and there was transparency on it. I didn't have to touch any of the default RF vpp's.

Still Alive.     goober   Posted 11th Feb 2006 11:32am L4Y Member Post 2194 / 265 well it has to be in another .vpp besides the map youre working on then.. For anyone reading this in 2019 or later: The RF community is alive on the Community Discord [Faction Files]     Ninja~   Posted 11th Feb 2006 3:29pm L4Y Member Post 163 / 644 Its been awhile since i played with VBM and its possibilities, But adding your vbm to Maps3.vpp your guaranteed to see it in RED and in the game.. In this situation dealing with liquid rooms i dont think its nessesary though.. Lately i have been putting my skills and knowledge to creating nice brushes and taking RF geometry as far as it can go. LordSeafood   Posted 11th Feb 2006 11:49pm L4Y Member Post 888 / 1792 Quoting goober well it has to be in another .vpp besides the map youre working on then.. You dont HAVE to but i would advise it as then you dont have to add it to the map everytime you rebuild the packfile. P.S. Still Alive.     goober   Posted 12th Feb 2006 2:04am L4Y Member Post 2199 / 265 thats why its alot easyer to just make a 1x1x1 room outside and put the texture on that so it'll get included.
