So I was making some quick joke tags for a friend, but of course, nothing can ever be "quick" or "easy" for me when it comes to Halo. So basically in max, my model shows up like this:
http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff213/seanthelawn/Halo/Models/voltorbmax.png And shows up in-game like this: http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff213/seanthelawn/Halo/voltorbhaloproblem.png How can I fix this? Does it have something to do with alphas? here's my bitmap: http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff213/seanthelawn/Halo/voltorbtexture.png Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Okay so I went into Photoshop and deleted the alpha, recompiled the bitmaps and then recompiled the map. No difference in-game. What should the bitmap be compressed as? (Meaning "color key transparency", "explicit alpha", etc.)
Also, I should've showed this before... This makes me doubt it's even a problem with the bitmap. Seen in this next picture, some of the white part of the voltorb is still visible. http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff213/seanthelawn/Halo/voltorbhaloproblemmoreinfo.jpg Any other suggestions? |

try making it a very light grey. somtimes wen you make it super white it makes the model invisible.

I checked and they weren't flipped; however I did fix the problem. I must've forgotten to export the model from max as a mesh because I re-exported it and now everything looks fine.
