Trouble Making a Compass

Falc · **Trouble Making a Compass -** 10-16-2003, 04:10 PM

Hi,

I'm currently trying to make a compass. I'm using photoshop 5.0. The problem that i am having is that I cannot get the background of the compass to be transparent. If i create new with a transparent background i can only save the file in photoshop format. I need it to be a tga file. Can someone please help me?

Thanks,
Falc

Hey,

I downloaded photoshop 7.0 trial. I'm still having the same problem. It wont let me save the image with the transparent background as a tga file. Am i doing something wrong? I'm not very familar with photoshop. Please help!

no the photoshop demo wont let you save
just dl it off a filesharing program

**NOTE: i am not condoning pirating software off of kazaa
**NOTE: fuck the RIAA and anyone who is against file sharing

and doc, i dont have the time to argue with you, take that off of your profile unless its a % n thing or whatever, or i will tell ppl why you really left
im really not trying to be a dick, but i dont put up with lying or shifting of blame

Dude, you were taking way too fucking long to make the site, Hayward. I'm gonna be done with the site I'm making by tomorrow, and I started it yesterday.

Cant save as a gif. It needs to be tga to work in medal of honor doenst it?

Scalping Chief · 10-16-2003, 07:07 PM

not for a compass?

HeadUp · 10-16-2003, 07:07 PM

no, i think you just need to make sure it is a gif in your shader

save as a tga so there is no scripting if u r new to it (even tho its very easy to do) anyway. create a layer from background and color the first layer transparent... ive told almost everyone that...

Falc · 10-16-2003, 07:30 PM

I tried that but it wont save as a tga. How can i save it as tga?

HeadUp · 10-16-2003, 07:31 PM

you cant just change the type in the file itself
ex- compass.gif to compass.tga
