Yeah, I just tried lots of different ways, and while 32 bit bmps work in logons with transparency, they don't seem to as you want to use it. I've never tried them as an icon, so I learned a bit too. Does it say somewhere that you can only use a bmp for the game, or are you guessing because the game crashes when you try a png or gif? I really don't have a clue, but good luck. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
many thanks boss0190, I've been working on this for some time and I am totally stumped.
Sphynx is a friend of mine, and he is the person that taught me how to make them for my logons, and then he put out that tut. It takes a bit of practice to do it right, but yes, it works. Just make sure you use Photoshop. Other graphics programs will not save in true 32 bit format.
yes boss0190 that is one of the guides i found on how to make transparent bitmaps (and how i found these forums) but either i did it wrong or it doesn't work for what i'm trying to do. Anyone here successfully followed that guide? if so i could really use some pointers. cuz i could not figure it out for the life of me.
are you sure they're not uploading gif or png? yes the game only accepts BMP, i tried uploading a PNG and GIF but it made my game crash. Was not able to get the link to work, maybe a mod could help? Thanks it works just i realise now that the hand is white and the background is transparent so in the browser it just like a
I play a online game where players can upload a small bmp file. I've seen other players w/ transparent areas in their logos, so i decided to make one of my own. I've been trying to accomplish this for some time. From what I've read online, a transparent bmp is only possible using a 32bit bmp w/ a alpha channel. I've read some tutorials and guides that say how to make transparent Bmps but they don't work for me. here is a link to the png version which i can make transparent. <a href=
