what exactly are you trying to make transparent? a whole picture or a section of a picture?


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.

I make stages and music! GO check em out!

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.
