I open sapien, stick in my new custom weapon just to test it (not as a .item collection) and i get:

11.27.07 18:18:28 ### ERROR incompatible bitmap type in shader

(many, many times)

Heeeeelp.

colour key transparency always works for me...but ill try it with explicit alpha... hey...thats strange. I changed format to explicit alpha, and tool still compiles them as colour key transperancy's...well. its still throwing up the error...they dont have alpha btw
I'e made custom weapons before and colour key transperancy always works

ok. are you using any reflection maps, are u using bump maps for base maps, or anything like that. oh is it the beam rifle? becuase the beam rifle will do that becuase of ignorant tagging.
