+quickly viewing textures on mac/how to make transparency/what are bumpmap textures?
1. I have a mac, and i'm having trouble finding a way to quickly view my textures.
2. as said before, i have a mac and and i have photoshop elements, and i want to make heads with transparent parts to it
3.What's a bumpmap texture, and how is it different from the regular textures?
I love you
1 - To see textures fast write: /dl [user] , then go to multiplayer, they upload almost instantly with 3.8, dunno if its for Mac.
2 - To make transparency, create a new canvas, but a ransparent backround one (at leasts works for me) and draw, type, or whatever in it, abioslu, leaving some space for transpearency.
3- Im not precise, but it increases your texture quality , at least thats what i "heared"

Errr.

If you want to preview textures then go here.

You need to save them as .tga without RLE expression.

For bumpmaps: see here.

Next time please use the search button.

erm....what's an rle expression?

RLE compression usually makes your files smaller, but tb needs uncompressed data as textures

(rle compression is the little check box option in gimp and PS if you save as TGA... uncheck this)
...
i tried doing what you said, avwave, but it still doesn't work.
the part i want transparent only appears white
I love you
Are you sure you have alpha channel there?
And that you save that alpha channel.

Alpha channel is basically nothing.
Its the default transparent side of the image.
Basically you draw on the alpha channel, at least in advanced editors like gimp or photoshop.
Honestly, I have no idea about mac.
