Anyone familiar...

.. with transparent weapon models such as this at all?



If so, link me!
I'm just bored.

I am. It's actually just a shader that overlays the weapon model with a transparent texture (tinted red in this case). There are several models of this sort.

Where do I get the shader files for this kinda stuff?
Or how could I edit with WinRAR, if that's possible?

In the scripts folder you will notice the shader files for the weapon models. It generally points to another texture (like textures/effects/invisimap.jpg). If you want to change that change the texture it points to, or you can make a new texture and change the location file to where the shader points.

Ahh I see, so just in the: textures/effects/invismap.jpg, the jpg file, what good could that do to make the models see-through/transparent? ;o

The shader overlays the models with a transparent version of that texture (usually). That means that since invisibility is usually 98% transparent and it is overlaying it at 80% that the transparency is about: 78% ~ transparency. The invisibility texture itself has a shader that causes black to be invisible. If you overlay some red it will be red tinted.

All that seems kinda confusing.
Could you be able to link me to weapon skins of this sort or make the .shader/.tga for me and send it over Xfire, please?
Thank you.
