    In order for half life to recognize the transparent area it needs to be 100% blue.

    This link might help

    Just press control-F and type in "Transparent Color". The author referes to the transparent color as RGB(0,0,255) which is the 100% blue.

    the last color of the pattle (#255 methinks) must be <i>pure</i> blue.

    0 red
    0 green
    255 blue

    remember though, anything with pure blue will be transparent, but not 254 blue!

    Okay, I have a question on that.

    How can I antialiase the pic, without getting the blue outline from where the edges don't end up 100% blue?

    save as a .gif, then the blue outline would not occur, if saving as .jpg the the colors between blue and others get obskured and not completly blue
