Thank you if you tell me.
what exactly are you trying to make transparent? a whole picture or a section of a picture?
A texture. Part of Warioman's bike.
Only certain texture formats are capabale of supporting multiple transparent colors. They're the following...
*IA4
*IA8
*RGB5A3
*RGBA8
CMPR also has transparency support, but that format can only have "1" transparent color, making semi-transparency impossible.
I4, I8, and RGB565 can't be transparent at all.
Use an online program. Paint sucks.
I use some website for stuff like that, not at home now but I'll get you a link when I do.

Can none of those you listed be Semi-Transparent?
No sir.
Any kind of semi transparency is considered transparency.

Again only IA4, IA8, RGB5A3, and RGBA8 support semi-transparency.

Ok, thanks.
Anyway, the Wario Bike texture parts use the CMPR texture format, so making them semi-transparent is futile.

Oh, I see. Thanks anyway.
What were you trying to do? A lightbike?

I've been making a Lamborghini, I wanted to make the windshield semi-transparent and I want the back and front wheels to be transparent in the middle to look like two seperate wheels. *sigh* I'll figure out some way.
perhaps you could just make them dark tinted windows?
See if there are any transparent textures in brawl at al.

What do you both mean, exactly?

Actually, some SSE stages DO have semi-transparent textures.
I've used one in my Wily's Fortress stage.

I'm talking about Wario's bike. I know you can't make it transparent in CMPR format, but why not changing the format and or the types/materials settings.

Wait can't people just use a photo editing program and set whatever they have to like 50% transparency? It works with your 2d models I think
That happens only when the model used is able to show that. If not, it will show the image with no transparency, or all transparent, depending on the case.

CMPR textures use 4 bits per pixel. The only other texture format with that size is I4. Changing texture formats tends to be a bad idea, since that can alter the file size of the archive it's in. Additionally, that'll either lead to game crashes, or make the texture not appear correctly.
There are a few exceptions, but if you do change texture formats, be sure that the file size doesn't get altered; refer to the following...
I4: 4 bits per pixel
I8: 8 bits per pixel
IA4: 8 bits per pixel
IA8: 16 bits per pixel
RGB565: 16 bits per pixel
RGB5A3: 16 bits per pixel
RGBA8: 32 bits per pixel
CMPR: 4 bits per pixel

it's possible to have partial emerald textures on a model, right? So the windshield could have an emerald texture to give the illusion of a reflection (being that the texture wouldn't be static when camera angle changes). Then the rest of the car could be colored normally.
Send me the image .. I can with one program.. CMPR will also work if I use it because it will... XD I'm not saying it will but i have a theory...

slightly off topic but I made all textures on a character transparent except for the semi-transparent edge texture over a dark character and ingame it wasn't transparent
so disappointing xD

Good idea.

When I'm done with vertexing and exporting the Lamborghini you need to make the wheels transparent in the middle so it looks like two seperate wheels(both for forward and back wheels).
