Hello! I am trying to convert this chair as requested in the forums. In S4S the chair shows up with the iron portion well defined but in game the iron has background texture. I think this has something to do with the alpha but beyond that I am clueless. Help please! Here is the .package file, I would be most grateful if I could get a hand fixing this. www.dropbox.com/s/k68kbz8grebv0lp/chairtry6.package?dl=0Attachments:

Hi, LexiconLuthor. You need to clone a TS4 chair that has some element of transparency to it. Try using the Cavill dining chair.

Hi Omorfi! I wound up trying that and it worked great, but when I attempt to recolor the .dds in paint.net the chair turns opaque again. Is there a way to recolor and not ruin the chair?

If you don't mind posting your package (or pming me), I can take a look to see what's going on

Your DDS doesn't have an alpha channel, which is odd since this design should have one. Could you have deleted it by accident?
You can simply add one by going into the channels tab and adding a new file which will automatically give you one. The tedious part will be coloring it. Basically, you need to make sure the parts you want solid are white and the parts you want invisible are black.

Paint.net doesn't really allow channels and photoshop loses the alpha when I save it. What program should I be using?

![]() I use photoshop but I know Gimp is another popular tool (and it's free). PS requires a DDS plugin and I'm pretty sure Gimp does as well. You also need to make sure that when you save your dds file you have "interpolated alpha" and "generate MIP maps" selected  |
