Well, because I released this a day later than I said I would, I thought I'd take the time to do more than just a flag.... :)

Oh, I should also mention there are minimapicons in the pack. However I forgot about them totally, so here's the screenshot. You'll notice (as I just did) that there are big black/white boxes around the icons on the minimap. These are NOT supposed to be there. I can't for the life of me figure out how to make them transparent, and the over head icons for players (not pictured) may have the same issue. If so, you can simply delete the folder with the problematic file

(either player_icons or minimap_icons)

Sorry for the mix up :( Can anybody help me fix this little problem?

I know the transparency for the overhead player icons is set by the alpha channel. I don't know about the mini-map icons, though, I have yet to mess around with those.

Can you work with Alpha Channels in VTF? I thought it was a TGA thing? If so, is doing VTF Alpha Channel transpars the same as doing it for Spray files?

I can edit the alpha real easy in photoshop in VTF. I don't know about spray files, but black=transparent and white=opaque.

Yeah that's just how it works for sprays. It's like a 5 minute fix, unforntunatly I don't HAVE 5 minutes, as I'm readying to go off to work. If anybody feels like DLing, adding some alpha chans to the appropriate files and sending them to me (vandal@fragspersecond.net) I'll update the .zip and credit you, if not: I'll do them tonight or tommorow.

Thanks for the help, Jake. :)

I'll do it when I get home from work in about 2 hours if no one has yet.

One million thankyou's to you, good sir!

Got the fixed sprites sent to Vandal.

Actually, you sent an e-mail but forgot to attach the files :eek:
