<div class="IPBDescription">Wan't to get rid of the black...</div> I was looking around in my good (maybe not good <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> ) ole' Counter-Strike map for muzzleflashes, then i saw a good looking "bomb" sprite, i tought that i would look pretty good as spores. And it did, but it is black around it when you shoot it :/

So here comes the qestion, how do i get rid of it? Thankful for help <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I think you'll probably need the DoD transparency dlls... get them from <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=19&t=31664' target='_blank'>here</a>

    Which sprite is that? You might not be using the right transparency setting, im guessing you used additive?

    Perhaps you could post the file that you are using, and I'll take a look at it?

    If thats the umbra projectile, it wont work because that has to be greyscale.

    Sure, here it is. <a href='http://ns.fatmilk.net/files/spore.spr' target='_blank'>http://ns.fatmilk.net/files/spore.spr</a>

    Urd: I'm using it for Spores currently. It was two spore sprites, one of them was coloreed greenas ingame and one of them was in grayscale. It i probably something with that :/

    As Urd said, you won't be able to use colored sprites for the Spore projectile and the Umbra projectile. They just doesn't seem to like Additive transparency. You'll have the stick to Indexed Alpha, meaning you can pick only one colour (like the original limey color, or any of the three choices <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=19&t=58624' target='_blank'>here</a>.

    I have tried to use "IndexeAlpha - Grayscale;Last color is the sprite color" but it looks the same <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->, do i have to make them one colored in Photoshop by myself?

    Simply put, there's no way to remove the black.

    The best you can do is to convert the sequence of images to grayscale, in any image editor, and select one color (red, blue, purple, etc.). The resulting sprite will be shades of that selected color.
