For team color, just add 'teamcolor' to the comment of the material in Milkshape. If you're talking about glow, then add 'glow' and use this version that I'm attaching and is barely tested at all, if you dare.

And on your texture, you need to make the area to be team color have a black alpha channel.

If you want MDL help, post the material and texture section (as text).

Before:

Code:

Materials 1 {
	Material {
		Layer { 
			FilterMode None,
                                                     TwoSided,
			static TextureID 1,
		}
}
	Material {
		Layer { 
			FilterMode None,
                                                     Unshaded,
			static TextureID 0,
		}
}
	
}

After:

Code:

Materials 2 {
	Material {
		Layer { 
			FilterMode None,
                        Unshaded,
			static TextureID 0,
		}

		Layer { 
			FilterMode Blend,
			static TextureID 1,
		}
}

	
}

Whitehorn	That's only the first material, I assume you kept the second material too?

Your file has 3 materials, but the models only use the first 2:

Code:

Materials 1 {
	Material {
		Layer { 
			FilterMode None,
                                                     TwoSided,
			static TextureID 1,
		}
}
	Material {
		Layer { 
			FilterMode None,
                                                     Unshaded,
			static TextureID 0,
		}
}
	Material {
		Layer { 
			FilterMode Blend,
                                                     TwoSided,
			static TextureID 1,
		}
	}
}

To create team colour, you need a material with 2 layers, as I showed in above post.

Asumably yuo also have parts that don't need team colour, which should use the following material:

Code:

Material {
		Layer { 
			FilterMode None,
                        TwoSided,
			static TextureID 1,
		}
}

And/or if you want sections that can be erased (alpha on texture):

Code:

Material {
		Layer { 
			FilterMode Transparent,
                        TwoSided,
			static TextureID 1,
		}
}

hmm...iv got the tc to work now..but iv found a bug with your exporter.

sometimes when i click that "operate joints thing" and export it goes out bad. or sometimes when i dont save my model then export i get the same thing. the way i fixed that is by afew undo and save clicks. although.. i had to check every testing i did (20times :0)

Guesst	Exit animation mode when you're exporting and that shouldn't happen.
