You probably didn't save it with alpha layers

[amir232]

what do u mean? how do i do that ?

[Nobody666]

when you go to save it, save it as explicit alpha

Alright, first of all, get Gimp, it does the alpha channels automatically. Then you unpack SFX.mrs with your un-packer. Look for the file that you want to edit. Convert it to .bmp/.tga using .dds Converter, open with gimp, and edit. Then save it, convert it back to the original .dds with the converter, pack your sfx folder ,and then replace with the original.
