Do you mean using The Gimp, darth? Textures that are transparent in parts arn't too hard in The Gimp, never tried invisible ones like sld_invisible.tga (in effects) though, if thats what your talking about.
to be more spisific. there was a mod the changed the texture of the riot sheild to me invisable. all you could see was the players arm. i would like to know how this was done so i can do the same to all the weapons.

That is cheating
For anyone reading this in 2019 or later: The RF community is alive on the Community Discord
not really its client side not server hell be the only one that can see it.. and the riot sheild doesnt do anything when visible anyways
besides making all the weapons invisible makes it that much harder for him as a player, as when hes fighting other players he will not know what they have untill they shoot.. tell me.. in what way is that cheating
Did i say i was using it in multi player. and besides i fi was like Ugly Donkey said how is it cheating if you can't see the weapons (which is exactly what i want or maby how about every thinh is invsible exsept for the muzzle flashes, that be really hard multi player). any whay i want this for my mod STAR WARS TOTAL CONVERSION. and i thought while i was at it i'd goa head and help every one else out.
the main reasion is i want tu use the C4 throughing animations but with out the C4

Oh ok, thats fine. All i was saying is that, making first person weapons invisable in multi would give you a bigger area that you can view, therefore being cheating.
All you have to do is replace the weapon skins with rck_invisable textures..

Simply find a default invisible texture in the various VPP files ('type'_invisible.tga where 'type' is either "sld", "cem", "mtl", or "rck" without the quotes). Once you've found it make a copy, then rename the copy giving it the same name as the texture you're trying to replace (you have to find the name of that on your own).
