Hi

I know the other way is use a bmp and double layer it with a tga,
but how can I make see through glass in SHII sinse it is set differently for the main texture??

thanks again

Easiest way is to have the glass as a seperate material and just drop the opacity to 140-160, that way youre not having to play around with alpha channels etc.
However if you want the texture to be solid in parts and transparent glass in others then you`ll have to use alpha channels. If i remember correctly you`ll also need to disable z-buffer write/enable alpha blend
