-=== Using/modifying the effect ===
-To use/edit/add alternate effects of this type, you'll need the proper palette, that goes from black(#0) to white(#255). To help you, I've uploaded the correct palette in [[Media:alphatst.pal|JASC format]] and [[Media:ALPHATST_ra2.pal|RA2 format]].
-Pallette indecies (0-126) mess up the image, index 127 does nothing, and (128-255) add (index-127) to the lighting.
-Also, you can get the original alphatst.shp [[Media:alphatst.shp|here]].
