Open the image you want to mask.

ctrl+a to select all.

Select\Save Selection Name it Alpha 1

Click on the channels tab. Make sure the rsb doesn't have multiple channels named after surface properties. If it does, select those channels and delete them.

Select your new alpha channel in the channel pallete.

Edit\Fill Select black from the list.

Save the file into your mod\map\beach resort directory as a rsb.

In the rsb settings dialog check the following:

A4R4G4B4

In the alpha test frame select the alpha tested check box.

From the drop down menu select Never.

Set the reference value to 0.

Click ok.

If those boats are dynamic map objects you can just script them out completely via IGOR. I cant recall if those particular ones are dynamic or not, I know that the ones in the little MP map are dynamic and I really think those might be as well.

thanks sleeper. i have the boats gone but cant get rid of the water sound while running through it and the snow is moving like water. LMAO kinda funny to see but looks like it will make a killer map if i can get it to work.

I think u'll have to edit the water sound.
