[arrenmog]

i think its something to do with the texturing but im not sure if it also got some part due to the meshes. if anyone can tell me to give glass a see through effect or a link to a tutorial or somewere that does. thanks.

Transparancy is controlled by the alpha layer of the dds texture. However, as you probably already know, pretty much all the glass in game doesn't actually have anything behind it, so changing those windows to see-through won't work too well. And if you're trying to add something like seamless interiors, That actually ends up worse since many buildings are actually larger on the inside than the outside, and often contain alot more polygons. Besides that, seperate interiors are actually necessary for all the NPC behaviors to function properly.

i mean about using it for armour and weapons (sorry, should have said) is it still to do with the alpha layer?

Yes, but remember that you need a body mesh or something beneath it or else you'll be seeing through the person.

Send me a PM if you'd like to discuss further as I don't frequent these forums...just stumbled upon this one while seeing if you're still active and seeing how the TESNexus Inn mod is going if at all.
