Item transparency

[samandmax1]

Hello.

I'm trying to add a new item ingame.
But the problem is, it has a black background. I sawed it in Indexed colors in Photoshop.

How do I make it transparent background?

Do you convert the .dds? to bitmap... well dont.

Download gimp, its free and exactly like photoshop.

Then search google for gimp .dds plugin.

Then follow instructions.

Use deatharts .gtx converter. Edit the .dds and erase parts where you want transparency, there should be checkerfield there then. Delete all other layers, like the small copies. Save. And then convert back to .gtx

That works for me so dont complain.

It works for weapons and objects. You can make invisible or semi visible things. Also you can make invisible armor so you char dissapears, all but face.

Xapno, thnx for answering, but that wasn't what I meant. I was talking about bitmaps for the item/weapon/armor/accessory icons ingame. Those 32*32 .bpm files.

I think the transparent color for invetory items is 0F0F0F.

It's indeed not black but a dark shade of grey

background colour for the icons are R-15 G-15 B-15 make it that and it will be transparent

-.- the color must be pure black r-0 g-0 b-0 any different and it wont be transparent

for other things that doesnt always work, if that 0-0-0 color doesnt work, use hot pink 255-0-255

15-15-15 works for images that appear on top of other images

Why u think that :question: I thought that INVENTORY has just its own transparent color set. Like for a custom image u set its transparency with:

( bitmap 'custom_image' (colorkey 15 15 15) )
