Hello all, i'm trying to create a smoke sprite but there is a big problem : Sprite isn't transparent, (BMP attached in post).

I've tried (i think) all the possibilities to make it transparent, i always saved in 8 bits, at Windows or OS/2 format, and i tried everything, additive, indexalpha, etc ...

Never worked, i don't know why, if someone know how to do can he tells me or/and do it please ?

Thank you in advance.

Flag Transparent ?

There is the transparent flag.

what message do you use to draw this sprite?

TE_FIREFIELD

I just took xPaw's colored smokegrenade plugin.

EDIT : But the problem isn't from the plugin because i extracted BMP from one of the sprites used in this plugin, open it and save it again, then compile it in sprite explorer, but it doesn't work too.
So it comes from "saving in good format" or something like that.

Could someone try compile the sprite with the given BMP please ? Just attach it and i will test.

I remember that bmp must have also some special things.

You must create alpha layer for bmp and use indexalpha.
bmp must be 24bit.

Tried but no results :/

you have to compile the sprite in alphatest mode IIRC.

I already did that, it didn't work ^^

Bump, tried again but no results :<
