GIMP and DOTA 2 masks

Postby shadowmancer471 on Tue Jun 11, 2013 11:54 pm

Hey, I've been tearing my hair out trying to get Dota 2 shader masks to work.
I'm using GIMP, and ideally I'd like the ability to plug the greyscale images I make right into a channel (such as R or A).
This is so I can make the shader masks for Dota 2 work.
What's the best way of assigning a greyscale map (such as my specular intensity map) into a RGBA channel so Dota 2 recognizes it?
I want to get off Mr.Bones Wild Ride

Try out Photoshop. Gimp has had this long standing issue with alpha gradients and the designers have no plan to fix it. If you have selfillum in the A channel that could give you some problems going forward with dota item production.

In GIMP go to colors>components>decompse, Select RGB(A if you have an alpha channel), check decompose to layers and hit the tit. To recompose go to colors>components>recompose and it will recompose in the original image. It's ultra awesome.
