You want to make it a decal?

Use something like GIMP or Photoshop.

-Select all the useless white (with the "clever" selection tool).
-Use "Invert Selection", youll have the logo selected.
-Cut the logo selected and paste it on a grand new .TGA file you created with a transparent background. Beware with TGA's though. They tend to mess and make ugly things in the game

You can also use Giga's tutorial.

EDIT: made this clearer.

SD, Use the programs Nar mentioned (esp Photoshop). Then read up on the tga "Alpha channel'. Venko was doing a tutorial on it,... don't know if he's done yet. These are common in RA2.

well perhaps my and Mad's advices will ll help him next time he needs to do that.

not wanting to annoy you venko, but you know

"give a man a fish, you'll feed him once. teach a man how to fish, you'll feed him all his life"

or you already told him how to do that transparent thing, and this i dont know.

Yeah I saw it.

I have several problems with skinning the RA2 TGA's with Gimp, in fact after editing the TGA the file size changes and it messes up everything.

Hope you will include to fix that. I will read very carefully your post for sure.
