to remove the background you need to create an image with a transparent background (default is white), but how to make it appear transparent in game - that's a real question ....

I think it has to be a tga with a tick for "transparent background"

Posted: **Sun Apr 27, 2008 5:24 pm**

You need a TGA file or PNG (donno if the second one works)

The best way is to work directly on the TGA with transparent BG because if you paste a JPG as a new layer on the TGA and then you delete the white BG maybe it doesnt works

ok i've made a little test:
i took a standard jpeg foto and made a tga image with a transparent background out of it, this is how it's supposed to look:

but this is how it appears in game:

as you can see, the backround is white, not transparent...

i've uploaded both files (.tga and .psd) so you can take a look at them:

tga version: ftp.emc2-clan.com/images_temp/spray_test.tga
psd version: ftp.emc2-clan.com/images_temp/test-spray.psd

it's white because in ur picture u have a white background !!!!!

i put the right version on same directory on the ftp ...

http://ftp.emc2-clan.com/ressources/ima ... hecked.tga

HOW ?

1 - use ur favorite editing picture tool or a free one : paintNET : http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Pa ... 96481993/1

2 - open ur image

3 - use magical tool, put a low tolerance, and select white background

4 - delete selected area :

as u can see, background is not white, but really transparent. (grey and white square) ... save it as TGA 32 bits without rle compression and u've got it.

Posted: **Sun Apr 27, 2008 6:50 pm**

hm it seems that when i convert the image to tga it automatically makes the background white

how did you make it stay transparent after saving the image, Cynyx? ...
edit:
ok i see your description now
