Omg make a gun with a tansparent clip gun like sig or g36 with acctual ammo diminishing. It would look gr8 <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

The thing is, if you were to make a G36 mag with transparency, it would look really bad. Why? Well it would be see through off course! You'd have to model the bullets themselves so it wouldn't look weird and just have a semi-transparent box hanging on your gun!
Remember, most of the time, when you want something transparent to look good, it's usually cuz there isn't anything BEHIND IT. If there is, you've got more work to do.
i have a question, when sniping in TFC, explosives (especially in the map dustbowl) are a extreme pain in the butt because they block all your vision of the enemy, so if i DL the transp.dlls in the tfc folder in sprites forexplosions, they will be transparent so i can have a fun time sniping and not have a aggrivating time?
3D transparencies. the explosion is a sprite and its not transparent. the transparency DLLs make the 3D laser streams or lights on a weapon v_ model come to life
The transparency DLLs won't help you with your sprite problem, but something else will.
Either replace the explosion sprite with one that is semi-transparent, or even better, replace it with a dummy sprite, so that nothing shows up for the explosion. Never again will explosions hinder your efforts to take off the head of that annoying HW Guy.

but you have to remember to use em sparingly, overuse starts to look crappy

Long and short, no. Anyway that would be an exploit.
