== Transparency (Stealth) ==
 
Most stealth/invisibility/transparency effects don't play back in demos. The few exceptions (like trainer War Witch and Numina) are built into the model and not something you can apply.
 
However, although the standard stealth powers don't work, this FX does:
 
OBJECTIVEOBJECTFX/GHOSTED.FX
 
This is the placeable mission objective effect (like for planting bombs) that make the objects transparent until you place them. I did a quick demo test as follows (splicing States onto the City Rep):
 
0 6 NEW "City Representative"
 
0 6 NPC Model_Statesman
 
0 6 POS 128.5 -768 -639.5
 
0 6 PYR 0 0 0
 
0 6 MOV ALTREADY_TRANS_XARMS
 
0 6 FX Maintained 7 OBJECTIVEOBJECTFX/GHOSTED.FX 0
 
 
The FX line is the only one I added (make sure it doesn't conflict with any other FX) and voila! Transparent Statesman.
 
Qualifiers:
 
* The transparency effect pulsates, so it's not a consistent steady level of transparency.
* The FX also includes the mission objective noise, so you might have to work with the audio.
 
== Invasion Sky & War Walls ==
 
Normal sky: SKYFILE SKY 1 0 1.000000
Invasion sky: SKYFILE SKY 0 1 1.000000
 
That's using the first two fields (which is how it records during an actual invasion), which appear to be binary.
 
You can also play with the final number to tweak things, though I don't know how that functions. My best guess being that it's a saturation value of some sort -- the more you increase it, the more color starts washing out all detail, although interestingly it seems to predominate in the foreground, rather than the sky or distance. Possibly a depth of field value. Dunno.
