I beleive so, on the templete the wipers and the cab sides were all on the same one. I tried a few deferent formats. I even did a 512x512 and 1024x1024 with the same effect. As for the Alpha channel you mean the templete to the right that has some parts shadowed?Pentium 4 / 2.4GHz HT O/C @ 2.755GHz w 920FSB

The alpha channel is the black and white (possibly grey) part of the tga file that lies behind the RGB channels. Looks like you lost your alpha channel somehow, or modified it so that the wipers are no longer alphae'd.

Yeah man thats what I been thinking, I took a time out and did some brain storming! So I figured it is somthing with the Alpha channel. How do I keep it when loading the ace, I get the templete. Then saving it which option do I use? I have tried as many options as I could think of and still get that card board effect. That seems to be my only problem!Pentium 4 / 2.4GHz HT O/C @ 2.755GHz w 920FSB
