Missing appearances Question

[Legacy_Wall3T]

               hello;

its been forever since ive been on here!

i was hoping to get some tactful advice on a situation that has developed over a particuler hak.

im working on a module (ill save you the boring biography of its life and skip ahead) and i wanted to use Feanors super awesome Medieval Armoury Weapons:

nwvault.ign.com/View.php

the problem i am having when i place it on the top of the list, the weapons manage to appear etheral or "see through".

I want to provide a picture, and may do so in a few hours. i was doing this on the fly and thought maybe someone knew what was happening?

If you arent clear of whats going on either, feel free to ask me.

If they are appearing in the *toolset* translucent, that's ok. The alpha channel is used by the game engine to determine how reflective the texture is. But in the toolset, it still determines how *transparent* it is. So a shiny chrome shield would be almost completely invisible in the toolset.

One of the little things that didn't get synched up between the two engines :-P

If they are showing up in *game* translucent, then check the baseitems.2da listings for "Part1EnvMap   Part2EnvMap   Part3EnvMap" and make sure they point to a valid texture for the engine to use for reflectance.
