Kabukiman's transparency logo tutorial for Adobe
Photoshop 6
Creating transparent Squad-Logo for ImGame-Usage while using Adobe's
Photoshop 6:
- Prepare your squad logo as usual. When finished, resize to 64x64
Pixels.
- Bounce/merge down to 2 Layers, Backgroundlayer and Logolayer (with
transparency).
- Switch to the Layer holding the Logo, select all transparent Areas (in
Photoshop via "select" menue, "Load Selection" "<layername> transparency").
- Choose "Select" - "invert selection".
- Create a new Alpha-Channel (click on the Icon next to the Trashbin on the
Layer-Palette).
- Switch on the newly created Alpha-Channel (click on the Eye), your
logo-transparency should look light-red now.
- Delete the selection-mask (if it's still there).
- Now save your Logo as .tga, 32 Bit including Alpha-Channels (make sure
it's checked).
- Open BIS' TextView
program and load your logo.tga file.
- Save as.. "logo.paa" <-- .PAA is important, somehow the .PAC
messes up Logos.
- Change entry in squad.xml to "logo.paa".
- Upload both files (squad.xml and logo.paa).
Done!
