Hi, i'm using this stock to create a player attachment:

stock Create_TE_PLAYERATTACHMENT(id, entity, vOffset, iSprite, life){

	message_begin( MSG_ONE, SVC_TEMPENTITY, { 0, 0, 0 }, id )
	write_byte( TE_PLAYERATTACHMENT )
	write_byte( entity )			// entity
	write_coord( vOffset )			// vertical offset ( attachment origin.z = player origin.z + vertical offset )
	write_short( iSprite )			// model index
	write_short( life )				// (life * 10 )
	message_end()
}

But no matter what sprite i use it will have a black background. I tried to recreate the sprite from .bmps with additive transparency(256colors) but the situation is still the same, i just can't get rid of that background. I'm I missing some additional options like render mode?

Try to look how the radio icon is made (The icon above the player's head).
I think, it is shown using TE_PLAYERATTACHMENT.

--------------
I did it.

File: radio.spr
Size: 8x8
Frames: 1
Transparency mode: Alpha test

Also, it has pure blue background (0, 0, 255).
