Do you mean something like this?

You need to make a TGA image with an alpha channel (32bit image).  This site has useful information about that: http://wiki.beyondunreal.com/wiki/Alpha_Channel

Once you've created your custom texture, check both the "trans33" and "trans66" flags in BSP.  This will tell the game engine to use the alpha channel for transparency and you will be able to see through the bars.

OK yall and zorc im talkin like real jail bars. Types used in a prison system. Im working on a map called lockdown. Im still comin up with ideas. If yall would like to help. Jus send me ideas and textures that looks as real as possible. If i get enough help i will name the map. lockdown by DP community.

I think you could probably just make lots of small cylinders using the make brush and just making them have a small width.
Off Topic: on your dew site atmays I never got my activation page (my name is Apocalypse) could you fix that please thanks.

There's already a siege map called lockdown.  It was never finished because of a bug in func_train.  DT wanted to call it twilight, but I think lockdown fit it better (plus FourthX already has a map called Twilight Encounter).  You might want to use a different name.

If you can wait a few days then the Community Texture Package will have a texture similar to what you described.

[Zorchenhimer]

Zorc yeah something like that.

Well, I wouldn't dare try anything that intricate with brush work. If you know how to model, thats the way to go. I might be able to get something up tomorrow, but I can't promise anything.

[atmays]

ok

[y00tz]

Sounds like Zorchenheimer has you fixed up, but just to show you, here's the 2 current jail bars in my up-and-coming Community Texture Package:

I made silver and white so far for the bars.  Please note.. all these textures are original, and created by me and will be available to you Atmays, if ya download the Community Texture Package.

*Edited for grammar and y00tzisms.

[atmays]

I like those yootz. i think i might jus use them in my new map.
