Did you modify the alpha channel on the texture? Did you change the model in anyway?

no when i exported the bottle from Tom_XmodelUtils
and imported into blender the color was white.

then i added the texture and switched to texture mode and then it is already grey

( even without modifing anything )

I don't really know enough about blender to help with that. It likely wouldn't have anything to do with blender though. You don't even need to open the bottle in blender.

Export the .xmodel_export and then edit the colormap in photoshop. Once you've done that create a new material using the new color map and create an xmodel entry in asset manager. Use the skin override box in the xmodel entry to add your new material. For example if you used the jugg bottle you would add: "mtl_zombie_perk bottle_jugg_in *MY_NEW_MATERIAL*". Same goes for the other material used on the perk bottle.

okay, thanks i'll go try it out.

but if my xmodel_export is bad how can i obtain a good one?

because the only way i learned was true obj --> xmodel_export

use tom xmodel utils and export the model to .ma and then make the export file in maya or just export xe xP

Bad? Just use the one toms xmodel utils gives you, it will work fine.

i think i need to use maya cause this is shit 

it is not good from the point that i import the obj in blender so i go try maya out when i have my motherboard back

Well ok, but you don't need to use either for this to work.

if i open the dds in photoshop then is this what i see:

example: sleight of hand

is this normal?

Yes, there should be an alpha channel attached to it.
