Model appears transparent or ghostlike in SA?

I recently rigged a model in Max for San Andreas and when I imported my rig into San Andreas it's appearing transparent, see through like.

 

This is in Max: 2018-03-11_10h11_18.png

 

This is it in SA: gta-sa_2018-03-11_10-13-08-41.jpg

 

Anyone ever encounter this before?

What do the textures look like? Do they have some sort of transparency? If so, it could be a draw order issue

Check the textures' alpha settings, otherwise are you using an alpha texture? That seems to be what's causing that.

Right, well I just opened up Magic TXD and looked at one of the textures and checked "Background" in the View tab and the texture indeed appears with a transparent background, a checkerboard to be more specific.

 

But when I open it in Photoshop the file looks fine.

 

It's a .dds file by the way.

Photoshop has a dark background, that's why it looks fine. You may just need to add a black layer as background ;)

Yeah if it's showing a checkerboard effect for a texture in Magic TXD, that means it has an alpha applied to it. I'm not sure how you delete the alpha texture in Magic TXD, I still use TXD Workshop even to this day, and despite what others say, it's never caused me problems.

 

The only way I know that will work in Magic TXD is to delete the texture that has the alpha, and then re-add your texture into the TXD file with Magic TXD. That way it shouldn't apply an alpha to it.

I've been using it for about 5 - 6 years now ;) It does have it's obvious issues but there are ways to get it to do what you need it to do.

 

Anyway, glad you've got it resolved! :D
