transparancy

[taranzar]

Hi, I'm new here, i created this account specifically for this, I'm trying to fix a texture mod on a game, and I've done most of it, but basically when i save it as .pgn it says its a pgn file, not a pgn image, so the game doesent notice its the texture, and doesent apply it....any help as how to make it a pgn image?? i've attached the pgn file, if that helps, but all the white and the bluish area in the bottom right should be transparent(the blue bit only slightly transparent).

The attached file is a PNG file/image.

Not the same as a PGN file/image.

So, do you actually need the PGN format?

Or PNG?

sorry >.< i meant PNG

If what you want is PNG, to preserve transparency,

be sure that the Save Configuration is set to:

Auto-detect

or

32-bit

==================================

To eliminate the white in the existing image, use the Magic Wand, set to zero Tolerance.

Click on the white with the Shift key down, then press Delete.

Agreed.

To make the bluish texture partially transparent,

first select it with the Rectangle Select tool.

You can add to an existing selection by holding down

the Ctrl key while making additional selections.

You can subtract from an existing selection by holding down

the Alt key while making additional selections.

After selecting, apply the Grim Color Reaper plugin effect

with What color? set to White.

This will tend to make the light colored areas

of the texture transparent more quickly than the

dark parts as the Color tolerance slider is moved to the left.

===========================================

Or use BoltBait's Transparency plugin for more even transparency change.
