Any way to mask DDS without changing the skeleton?

from Elemental Forums

I'm working on adding war dogs to the game, but I want to crop their tails (cruel, and illegal in Europe, I know).  These guys' skins are based on the Annie dog.  I'm not much of a graphics guy -- Is there any way to mask the dds so their tail won't show up without modding the skeleton?

Generally no. You can make it sort of transparent but if people have outlines on they will still see outlines around the tail.

PS. Texture -> 3d model aka Mesh -> Skeleton -> Animations. The texture and its coordinates is declared in the mesh, not the skeleton.
