Title: Black Box and graphic artifacts on .tga effects
Post by: Krelus on November 29, 2008, 12:46:51 pm

Sorry to make another plea for help so soon, but I ran into another snag...

Using GIMP, I made a new weapon graphic bitmap (TGA format), but ingame, it's surrounded by an ugly black box. How do I fix this?

You need to set the alpha channel, which controls the transparency.
(white=solid, black=transparent, grey=semitransparent)
