Title: P51b
Post by: Raptor on August 21, 2004, 10:01:09 PM
Having 2 problems with P51B.
1. It is mirroring the image though template doesnt look like it should?

2. Making part of it transparent. On image P51BART2 I made it a certain color, then found the index number to be 93. Made a .txt document named P51BART2 that only said 93. When it showed up offline I tried changing the color several times, .txt document as well. (prolly something simple like last time i had this problem)

If you're talking about the Gladys being mirrored, on your skin layout it is shown on both sides.  Maybe its supposed to be like that? or maybe you overlooked it?  Just what I saw at first glance.

Raptor01,

1. The nose section is mirrored and uses the left (or lower) profile.

2. To make P51BART2 transparent there are two things to try.  The first is to use P51BART2_a.bmp that is completely black.  If you don't see a P51BART2_a.bmp file, make one by copying P51BART1_a.bmp.  The second option is to try using P51BART2_a.txt with the index of the color you want to use as the transparent color.  Again, you will have to make your own file -- P51BART2.txt is no longer being honored.  I personally went with the first option of using P51BART2_a.bmp when making my p51b skin.
