24 bit TGA's can be trans? I thought it had to be 32 bit.

Transparencies need to be 32 bits. 24 bits are used by the red, green, and blue channels. Another 8 bits are needed for the transparency channel.
Off-topic: Never save a tga file as 32 bits if it doesn't include a transparency channel. It's a waste of the 8 unused bits - bigger filesize. _____________________

There's a cool hair shop (I can't remember the name, but I think Lindal knows what I'm talking about) that has a perfectly clear floor and below you can see the Linden ocean. I don't know if it's an entire sim, but it sure is neat.

I don't know if it's an entire sim, but it sure is neat. I suppose they lowered the land below sea level and put a transparent floor. I don't own a sim, but I know they let you choose ground texture from the sim, I don't know if you can go further than that. |

If you used a transparent texture for the sky I guess you would be able to see into the server racks.
