How do you make certain parts of dat files transparent?

Hello, I have some questions regarding how to make certain parts of dat files transparent...

i know it has somethign to do w/alpha channels but I don't really know how to figure it out. As you can see, I tried to make a fomor head version of this elvaan head but the bangs arent transperant. If you can help me out that would be great.

I looked around for tutorials on the web; my friend directed me to this forum, and said that people here know how to do this stuff, so if you can help me out, thanks a lot :)

lol sorry, i just needed an answer quick..

this is another question, i guess a little bit more advanced. i checked that link and there was no mention.

how do you make it so that certain armors fit onto different races? do you need a 3d modelling program? if so, which would you guys recommend?


nvm.
