Texture Transparent explosive scorch mark

[Seemo]

Is there any way of getting a transparent texture version of the scorch mark decal from Soldier rockets? I'm trying to use it to make a custom texture for a model. I found the actual texture file that the decal uses, but it's not transparent.

Are you sure its not transparent? What image format did you export it as?

I exported it as a PNG and it wasn't transparent. Is there a specific way I should export it?

If you use this with Gimp: https://www.tophattwaffle.com/downloads/gimp-vtf-plugin/

You can direclty load a VTF file and then edit the layer mask as nessessary.

VTFEdit will do blending for the alpha channel unless you specify how to export it.

Anyway, heres what I was able to extract from it by playing with the alpha channel and levels a bit. Gl!
