Hi there.

First thing I would like to say is: Im not really farmiliar with modding and I have many question. Here, I will only ask 1.

-----

Lets say I got a good graphic image I want to insert as a weapon.
The only problem is that the image's background ISNT transparent.

Questions:
1) Must the item be transparent? will it be transparent in the game also?

2) What do I need to do to make any graphic image transparent?

Thank you for your reply (if you have 1)

Well, if you're talking about item inventory graphics, their backgrounds have to be pure black. The game will then convert the background to transparent. Use DC6 Maker.

For your second question, is that for the inventory as well or for the in-game graphics? In-game graphics require you to put "lit" in the "alternategfx" column in either weapons.txt or armor.txt or misc.txt. For inventory graphics, just don't put anything in the "invgfx" column.

I spoke about transparency for dc6 in http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~phrozenkeep/ubb/Forum38/HTML/000460.html . They are 2 more detailled links in this post, I think they will help you.
