Xml Transparent Background

[MattXR]

Hello everyone, on some servers i have seen XML pictures which have a Transparent background..

I cant get my picture with a Transparent background.

What i do is i remove the background in photoshop, save as tga, covert into paa? and ingame i see a white background...

So the question is what am i doing wrong. http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/smile_o.gif

You need an Alpha Channel...

wiki Description (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_transparency)

Lots of tutorials on the net depending on your graphic tool

All sorted, it was easier than i thought, although still a little bit tricky on how to get the alpha channel http://forums.bistudio.com/oldsmileys/yay.gif
