There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

1. Click on open, got to the texture folder with the offending glass texture, double click to open it in DXYBMP.
2. Go to Image/Flip Image and Alpha. Click that. You won't see anything happen as it is usually a dark square but rest assured it does happen.
3. In the top right hand corner is the Alpha Window. Click on the second icon (the one with the down arrow) to send the file to the editor.
4. In the editor open the colour palette. This should be a palette with 256 squares with different shades from black (0) to white (255). Click on one of the black squares between 0 and 20 then save it (click on the disk icon)
5. In the Alpha click on the refresh icon (up arrow) then repeat step 2.
6. Go to File/Save As/DDS DDS Texture Then save as DXT5 (with Alpha).
You will need trial and error to get the correct Alpha setting to make things visible through the glass.
Hope this helps.
