KillaBeez Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 Hi folks, i tried it about 2 hours and i wasnt successful. But first let me explain what i tried to do. I took a normal .jpg and made the background of this picture transparency. So in paint.net it was transparency. I thought that Source will except it too but it didnt. So i searched through the internet and found some tutorials. The problem is that they are all written for Photoshop. Maybe someone did already some logos with transparency background and could it explain to me. Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barkbark00 Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 .jpg won't support the transparent pixels. I think it either converts them to black of white. Try saving the image as a .png after after adding the transparency. Quote Take responsibility for your own intelligence. -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KillaBeez Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 Thats true. With .png it works fine. But CSSource only support the following files : .tga, .jpg, .bmp, .vtf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaveN Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 GIF does not support alpha values as well as PNG does, but there are transparent animations in cs source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Trying saving as TGA. It should support the transparency.

KillaBeez Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 I tried it but after saving it, it change the transparency into white. I also test it in Counterstrike (background get or is white). It could be also may fault. I dit it like that. I cut out the logo i wanted. After that i created a new file. In the properties of the new file i set it transparanecy. After that i copied the logo in. I think the easiest would be the save it in .vtf but paint dont support this file. Or is there maybe a plugin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
