How do you make scenery transparent? Won't work for me with the transparency bar in the Map Maker!


Invisible scenery:
Certain scenery doesn't appear, even when I start a map, get a scenery, sometimes it doesn't appear! Why?

Wjere do I get it? On the Soldat Downloads page page it only has SMM 1.1.5,
And I haven't reached the limit. I start a map and the transparancy won't work.

it did, but how do we know its transparant? Doesn't appear transparent in the map maker.

Make sure the transparency slider is set in the middle of the track, and not to one side. Its set out badly so that the middle of the bar = 50% transparency, and either end = 0% transparency.

A LOOOOOOOOOONG TIME AFTER THIS TOPIC STOPPED GOING ON, HERE I AM.

1. I have SMM 1.2
2. I TRY the bar thing,still doesn't work.

Why won't it work?
Are we ABLE to see transparancy in SMM?

Thank you for upcoming help.

Are you sure you're clicking the 'create' button AFTER defining a good amount of transparency.

That's the only thing i can think of.

Or, rarely maybe, your graphic card gets into trouble when not i fullscreen mode (when using the SMM).
