Not working  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/frown.gif) Entered those values in the red, green, and blue column, and it gives me a grey background.  I saved it, went to AH and the grey background showed up.

Any Ideas?

it's (from memory) an indexed "palette" check if you set the color number 255 to 176 176 176.

Or better look in your AH directory and start from an existing NoseArt.

Kronos,
I fixed the one on our squad by saving a pallete from another nose art that worked correctly and loaded it into the one for our squad. I then deleted the background and picked the one used on the borrowed one. Works like a champ  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).

The gray background is normal. What I do is set a 256x256 image that color, then start setting the art in place. When I did the nose art for VMF-115 I changed the white background to that gray color. It shows up perfectly transparent, so instead of a gray box you only see the black circle. Just don't set anything else that color or it'll vanish in the game.
