Spriting problem

[Hyperknux]

I'm having this problem for quite some time, and it's bugging me a bit. This is my question. Before I say the question, I can sprite, but this is my first time uploading sprites on XWE (not joking).

On XWE, I look through some sprites on srb2.wad, and I look at 1 sprite, and the object is there, but when I load up one of my sprites, the sprite loads, but I get a white background with it.

I'm using photoshop, and I use magic wand tool to get rid of backgrounds. But it leaves me with a white background as well as the sprite itself.

I'm asking you guys can you help me solve this problem?. It will help a very lot.

Well, you must put the blue color background in yourself.

True story.

What do you mean by the blue background?, I got rid of the sky blue background when I pasted it in photoshop with the magic wand tool.

The overwhelming color in the center of XWE is the color XWE uses as transparent.

Honestly, any funny Photoshop things for transparency won't work.

I found out a way to get rid of the background, I'm using the edit pallete toolbar, and deleted the background.

Thanks for trying helping me though BlueZero4, although this is my first time using this program, and I'm just getting used to it.

Sorry to double post, but I've made the sprite, and it shows in the level, but in objectplace it is invisible, and on the other, it's showing very low. But it works when you check the emeralds when you press tab button.

It's fine when you press tab key.

Now for the objectplace one.

Your problem is that you NEED the blue background colour! Set blue to 255 and green to 255 and use it as a background colour.

For the sprites?. Ok I'll try that then.

Edit: for the background colour, multicoloured pixels are shown in XWE when it's loaded up in JPEG.

Right, I've done what Fish Hook said, but when I load it up, it's not so much multi coloured palletes, but it's still not transparent.

Dude, don't save it as JPEG. GIF or something works better.

 

[Hyperknux]

I never thought GIF would work, because I think of that as for animations, I could try that now.

Wow, it worked, thank you so much guys for helping me, I appreciate it a lot.
