Ok, dont mean to bug ne body with stupid questions...but here they are. Im trying to fix item inventory graphics from a pre-existing mod, the problem is the background of the item doesnt appear tranparent in the inventory. so i though, ok, ill just edit the background to 0 and everything will be ok. well, when i opened up the file in PSP7, it runs out all the files already have 0,0,0 as the background color. that is the tranparency color, right. could it be that he used some other pallet to create the file and thats why its reading as the right color but showing up as the wrong one in the game. any thoghts on this would help, even if its that my cause is hopeless and it would be more useful to stick my head in a toilet and flusssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Thanks Firebrand

What is important is : does the background of item is of index 0 ? I don't ask if it is black, I ask it it is *index* 0. It have to be. As a test : change the color of index0 to something else. It the background of the item stay black, here's the problem. That's not Black that means transparency, that's the index 0, this color beeing red, green, pink, black have nothing to do.[This message has been edited by Paul Siramy (edited 05 April 2002).]

I only have psp5, (and not 6 as I tought, I just checked) but in psp7 it might be the same. Use the tool "Color replacer". In foreground color set the color of index 0, in the background set the current tranparency color to replace by the foreground. In the "control palette" I prefer to set a tolerance of 0. Now that your fore/background colors are set, use the replacer tool : move in the image (with the left mouse button), and the background colro will be replace by the foreground : the bad transparency (black of non-zero index) will be replace by the good one (color of index 0)
