Joep wanted a tutorial on how to do ghost bikes. That's it really, sorry the video quality is abit shitty but hopefully you can still understand it with the voice commentary. If this method doesn't work (even though it should) refer to the older method a few topics down from this.

[VC/SA] Ghost Bike/Vehicle Tutorial

stoppie 2 lg, cba to land it since i suck at ledgegrinds

figured it was about time i made a solo since ive been on gtas for nearly  8 years and still havent made a proper solo (apart from a really shitty one in 07 that if you saw it, i apologize), there's probably a few old stunts in there (oldest ones like 09 i think) and a couple of lame-ish/filler spots but hopefully the video is still enjoyable (even though the editing is pretty stupid i have no idea why i put that american psycho clip in there but fuck it i just put in whatever i thought looked good i guess thats what happens when youve been awake for 3 days).

didn't land all the stunts i wanted (had a better ender) but i started getting stressed since i couldnt land shit then i realized why the fuck am i doing this if im not enjoying it. also watch it on yt instead of embedded for some reason it put fucking black bars there

i think it is beautiful that you are 256 colors too

I felt like editing something so I organized a little throwaway collab, thanks to everyone who participated etc. Had fun editing it, first thing I've properly edited so more than likely there will be a few mistakes (like ProMagic's stunt which is a PSM) however I hope the video is enjoyable, if anyone wants a download link I'll upload it.

Been trying this for a while, would have landed it a few times if the entire sign was solid but only the edges are and I don't have the patience for it.

BLAZES TUTORIAL ON GHOST BIKES:

TOOLS NEEDED:

TXD WORKSHOP
ADOBE PHOTOSHOP
MICROSOFT PAINT

1. To make it easier for yourself, create some folders. Mine are like so:




2. Open TXD workshop, make sure alpha is enabled on every texture in the pcj600.txd APART from the pcj600speca. Make sure compression is disabled.

3. Export all texture's as PNG's to the "Original" folder.

4. Open MS Paint

5. Open each file from the "Original" folder, go to File > Save As, choose 24-bit Bitmap and save them into the "Bitmaps folder."

6. Copy all of the Bitmaps into the Alpha folder.

7. Clear the image, and fill with grey! The darker the grey, the less transparent, and the lighter the grey, the more transparent the bike is.

DO THIS FOR EVERY FILE IN THE ALPHA FOLDER, AND SAVE THEM AS A 16 COLOR BITMAP!

PLEASE NOTE: WHEN DOING WHEELS THAT ARE CUSTOM YOU WILL HAVE TO EDIT YOUR ALPHA ACCORDINGLY, IT WOULD BE BETTER TO DO THIS IN PHOTOSHOP AND THEN OPEN THE FILE IN PAINT AND RESAVE IT. IF YOU DO NOT DO THE WHEELS PROPERLY YOU WILL END UP WITH WHITE PARTS AS SEEN ON THE ORANGE BIKE

PIC RELATED (DEFAULT WHEEL ALPHA THAT WORKS):



8. Reimport your textures, then click the Alpha tab and import the grey alphas.

9. Hit the fuck out of save, close TXD workshop and open the TXD again. If the Alphas are still grey, congratulations. If not, you fucked up. If you did it right, it should look like this (the small texture icons are darker):


Now customize your Alphas to show more detail and whatnot, and don't overuse ghost bikes; some look sick (Stormlexer, Plethzorb) and some look like shit. good luck!
