Reskinning the JR BethGon on the DLS?

[epa]

So I have attempted to reskin the BethGon on the DLS (By SoCalWB909), and in both Paint.Net and GIMP, the textures show up almost completely transparent, but they are usable in Photoshop. So I created a reskin (a small patch, really) and set it on the tracks, but the car showed up transparent in game, and very shiny, and thus unusable. Is there a certain way I have to reskin these beautiful cars?

I picked one of these bethgons at random, in this case, Bethgon CPOX,<kuid2:334896:200088:1>.

If you look at the file body.tga with PEVs' Image2TGA, you will see it has a blended alpha.

I don't use the paint programs you are using, but I suspect you will have to preserve the alpha channel
before editing the .TGA file. After editing you can re-add the alpha channel, or, edit the texture.txt
file to add the alpha channel as a .BMP file.

Give it a shot.
