It's a combination of alpha channels, textures, and materials.
Firstly, textures. You'll need two: one with the actual BLP skin listed and one with just "" for the path and a ReplaceableId of 1. The second texture would look like this:

Code:

    Bitmap {
        Image "",
        ReplaceableId 1,
    }

You would add that after all the other textures.

Next, the materials:

Code:

Materials 1 {
    Material {
        Layer {
            FilterMode None,			
            static TextureID 1, //Change one to the id of theReplaceableId 1 texture
        }
        Layer {
            FilterMode Blend,
            static TextureID 0, //Change zero to the id of main texture
        }
    }
}

Your new material would look like that. Paste it over the material that is pointing to the main texture.

How to find a texture's id: They are listed in order in the textures section, starting from 0.

I'm assuming that you already know about the alpha channeling.

I don't have enough time to write more; if you get lost, I can hopefully clarify.

MantisScreamer	I know about alpha channels (skinning version). I'll try to get that to work, its just the static TextureID is kinda confusing.

Which model are you trying to add it to? I can give more specific instructions based on that.
