Transparent

[falco1029]

What color is transparent? I tried just manually transparenting with an editor, but it saved it with the color of it's backround. Is there a color that srb2 will see as transparent automatically?

It depends on what you're trying to do. If you're trying to make a transparent sector, make an FOF, only change it's type to "solid, transparent" or something like that. If it's a color map, the letter at the end of the bitset thing controls transparancy. a is the most transparent, while z is least transparent. I think. Perhaps vica versa...?

Either way, please explain with a little more detail. I can't help you with objects or anything custom like that.

I don't really get what you are saying, i dont speak wad.

But basically, I have my character green, with some weird grayish green around it (was originally tranparent in my image editor). I want to make the grayish green color transparent.

If you're makin' a character, and you're using XWE, than it's cyan.
This color.

I think violet works too, but I'm not completely sure. I thnk I used violet on my SonicDX sonic wad

Ritz: 9 is actually most opaque, and it's either A or Z that's most transparent.
I think it's A...

He's talking about TRANSPARENT, not TRANSLUCENT. Which means he's looking for the Cyan color for images.

 

[JetKrazy]

If you need help finding the color, cyan is a default color on MSPaint. I use Paint to find my colors. It always seems to work

What's the difference between translucency and transparency?
Semi-transparent or something?

 

[Shadow Hog]

Exactly. Except sprites don't have semi-transparency. At all. Unless, of course, you tell them to a la the shields...

 

[JetKrazy]

Then the shield sprites have to have a transparent background too. Otherwise, you'd still see the suare around the shield that was the original canvas.
