j0nes 194 Posted May 15, 2013 whenever I import a .paa for Arma 3 it turns out as a ghost. the picture is definitely there, I can see the outline, but there isnt any color. Im using the same method I did in A2, is there something new I need to do now? textures are showing up fine, its the UI stuff like Icons and gunner optics.

Alwarren 2767 Posted May 17, 2013 jpeg >> tga (use GIMP without RLE compression) >> tga >>paa Try TexView2. Does your picture get an alpha channel from somewhere? Are you using RVMats? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j0nes 194 Posted May 18, 2013 yes, Im sorry, I use Texview2 for the .tga >> .paa part of it. and I thought RVMats were for materials, Im adding transparency ( I think thats alpha channel...) in GIMP when I create the picture. I can post a sample .paa download if that would help you see what Im doing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
surpher 1 Posted May 18, 2013 Have you tried inverting your your alpha channel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

surpher 1 Posted May 18, 2013 Ctrl-I in photoshop, not sure about GIMP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j0nes 194 Posted May 18, 2013 hmmm ok, what does it do? I mean inverts it obviously, but how does it affect the alpha? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
surpher 1 Posted May 18, 2013 Alpha channels mask parts of the image (black hides, white reveals), in your original post you say you can see an outline I wondered whether your alpha was the wrong way around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
max power 21 Posted May 19, 2013 I think you need to post a screenshot about this issue. Without it, we are just fumbling around in the dark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
