Greetings.

 

Can someone please explain how to make items transparent via texture editing in photoshop? I tried to use black alpha channel, but its wont work. I guess I need some specific manipulation when saving .dds using Nvidia dds plugin?

 

Or if there is other way, please tell.

I can't help you with photoshop, I can give some insight for gimp, however (which can be downloaded for free and seems to work exceptionally well, provided you download the also-free dds plugin). I noticed that 1) files have to be extracted with 1dxa compression (the very first option besides default; you have to extract the file manually instead of just "overwrite XXXX" and 2) some files will freeze the game if you try to use transparency over the black bits of non-texture. My recommendaton is to try gimp, make sure to compress it right, and hope for the best. That's all the advice I can offer, hope it helps.
