Custom Spray Paint?

double check, i think white in an alpha is opaque (ie you see the image at that point). Anyways, i think there is a link on the http://www.planetunreal.com/chaotic site (on the side bar) that has an address.

Yeah, Flagg's the one. I think his email is in this thread somewhere...

PhotoShop 7.0 automatically saves all transparent sections of a TGA as an alpha channel.

if you open up any Targa file with transparency in photoshop, you can click "select" "load selection" "alpha1" and you'll see the channel.

once again, this is done automatically in photoshop 7.0, all transparent sections of the picture will be in the alpha channel if you save to targa (.tga) format.

hope that helps

Hi defalc

I probably do have your logo here somewhere, I've got a bunch of them piling up here.

I'll scan thru the list see if I can see yours.

And.....yup, there it is.

I just created a PR2_logos folder on our FTP, your was the 1st added to the new folder. I will begin to up more of them from my inbox throughout the day today, in between the play testing I am behind on.

Jedi, would ya mind checking mine in the ftp logo folder, called shuri.tga? It should have alpha, as I did it the same way I do alpha for level textures, but it didn't seem to work...

Looks good as far as i can see shuri.

Though ingame it might have a few problems with the black inside the lettering showing up, not 100% sure.
