Title: Alpha Channel Stuff
Post by: G.K. on January 31, 2010, 01:31:34 PM
I was reading the tutorial on the wiki about Alpha Channel editing, but I have got confused. This is mainly because I don't even have Photoshop anyway, just Paint.Net. Could someone be so kind as to help me make these 4 pictures into decals without the background?

Here you go. Zip file containing 4 uncompressed TGA files with an alpha channel.

Thanks a bundle Serge.

Did I miss out a step in adding them to the game? Something strange has happened.

The decal is wrong size. If I remember correct they must be 512x512 pixels.

I don't seem to have that option. There are only 32-bit and 24-bit.

Isnt there a resize tool in your image editing program? Use that to change the size.

in relation to your picture

I did that my accident one time to an arena skin and it skinned the floor with all the preview images for other arenas :P

also should this not be in Technical Support ?

my understanding is this section is for releasing or posting information about your mods
