Trying to make the background of a spritesheet transparent...

[aliensalmon]

Hello all,

I've been trying to make the background color of these spritesheets transparent when I'm importing them into my game, but I can't seem to do so. The window to make the color transparent/translucent doesn't pop up when I try to import these two spritesheets.

Spoiler

These are spritesheets from the user Kazzador. I downloaded three in total, but only the first one gave me an option to choose the transparent color. These two, however, didn't.

Thanks,

alien

I imported them into my own game and also couldn't get the transparency option to show up (I'm not sure why). So I just made them transparent for you.

Ah, thank you! I'll credit both you and Kazzador for the sprites.

If pictures are in a format that supports transparency, the resource manager assumes that the transparency is set correctly and no longer asks for it.


But if said pictures were saved into that format by a program that doesn't support transparency (like saving png from MS Paint), then the transparency info is lost and you get the result you reported.


And if the transparency info had been lost, your only chance is to reenter it with a program that does support transparency (like GIMP, Photoshop or Paint.net or others)

If I may make a suggestion, there is a free image editing program known as GIMP, which has the ability to make certain colors transparent. I would suggest the wand tool without anti-aliasing. This way, the outline doesn't fade.
