DTX to PNG?

[Lakelyn]

Hey all,
I was just wondering how is it possible to export DTX files in an image format while keeping their transparency. I know how to import DTX files in Photoshop but when I do that the background becomes black and my image ends up looking like this:



Then I see people posting stuff like this:

They aren't manually removing the black (Check out this other image) so how do they do it?
Thanks in advance!

you can't. DTX doesn't support Transparency.

you press prnt screen when you have it open in ps then start a new project in ps paste it and render it then you can save it as .png and it will be transparent

1.) You're dumb and obviously have no knowledge of this game or its engine
2.) You thought the print screen glitching trick was new. We were doing that wayyyyy back
3.) Yes, you can Copy+Paste the texture to a PNG and save it, BUT combat arms will NOT read that PNG if you put it back in the Rez files during texture modding. It HAS to be DTX
4.) Because of what is said above, Texture Mods in CA have to be done with DTX files and you have to follow the guide lines set by the original texture.

combat arms uses a VERY old game engine. It dates back to 1999 when it was released with a game called No One Lives Forever 2 created by Monolith Interactive. Great game engine, easy to tweak and mod, but its still nearly 20 years old and will that age comes limitations because companies like Doobic Studios, Nexon and many others are too lazy to change the entire game engine to support a new texture format that supports transparency because frankly... Just make a black box and put your stuff on top of it. That takes far less time.

Also, this game engine reads textures as they are mapped in the DTX image file just like most any other engine out there. There's no "smart" texture reading.

Also, this knife is probably from CS:Fail lol CA is dead.
