I need help with the minimap sprites, the flags and overhead icons all work, just the minimap thing brit_camera, isnt showing transparencies, can anyone help me here.

make sure it is 256 8 bit color edit pallette 255 to something not used in the sprite and then set pallette transparency to that pallette number

how do i edit the pallete color

in Photo shop, hit <ALT>+<I> then <M> then <T>

It is for the <T>able

the bottom right corner is the color you want transparent

I cant think of the menu names for I M T.

jk, ty Silverghost.

alright, i've done all this. Got the image, made the one color transparent, but when i make it into a sprite, it's still not transparent. Is it the program i use (SprWiz) or am i doing something wrong?

Save the sprite as "alphatest".:cool:

don't they have to be named aplayer, gplayer, axis_camera, allied_camera?

you can name them whatever you want, if you are making custom ones for a map, but if you want to replace a sprite in the game, save it over or as the original sprite

Oh, the woes of getting transparency to work.. By the way, "alphatest" is the transparency mode you should use, not the sprite's filename.

Nice x hair set, I have them on my site, anything you working on? let me know I will host it if you want me too.

LOL :D I'm an idiot, but that's what i was trying to save it as before but it still didn't work.

i'm using photoshop 7.0 and i make the color transparent and save the file, but when i open the file, the transparency went back to the original color.

Capt. Darling, no one ever listens to me. Thanks for repeating me to get it through their thick skulls.:cool:

No worries, Ez. :)

Funny you should ask that, I just released a new pack for 1.3, the demise of "vid_d3d 1" making it somewhat necessary. The link is in my sig. Did you mean you had my previous pack in your website? I had a look and couldn't find it there.

Anyway, if whoever was trying to get the transparency to work is still having trouble with it, pm me and I'll see what I can do.
