Updating old skins for AMS use?
Hi guys!
So as I've mentioned elsewhere I'm updating an old NASCAR mod for use in AMS: http://forum.reizastudios.com/threads/test-league-for-ams-nascar-series-tues-8pm-est.1481/
It's got an old pack of skins, but they are ultra-shiny in game. So I quickly noticed that other skins for other mods have a very low opacity.
I tried replicating this by myself, but it was very apparent that I didn't have the correct process, or the correct figures to do it right. So what do I need to do to update these skins?
Thanks!

^^
there no need to change something on the skin itself... you have to add a darker grey alpha channel
with this you can change the shine ingame... make the alpha channel more brighter for more shine and more dark for more matte

Re: Updating old skins for AMS use?
Oh? When I open up other skins I see in the AMS folder, I can clearly see the backgrounds behind the images. I'll try putting a grey alpha over it (but at what opacity?).
I'm using Paint.net for this. Is this a special file format that I need a converter for? When I open it up, I only see one layer.

Paint.net doesn't support alpha layers you will have to use either Photoshop or GIMP for thisDanneskjold wrote:Oh? When I open up other skins I see in the AMS folder, I can clearly see the backgrounds behind the images. I'll try putting a grey alpha over it (but at what opacity?).

I think you can use Photoshop CS2, an older version but its free.
Maybe the following link can help

Re: Updating old skins for AMS use?
I'm still struggling. Again, please forgive my newbie foibles, but the last time I played with an alpha channel for a texture it was an entirely separate file.
https://www.mediafire.com/?tywn41lhz14fxqg Here's an example of one of the files.
What do I have to do in Gimp to fix the Alpha channel on this?
