[Hell_Best]

If i want to replace i weapons in normal way i must set it to a special color to make the picture transparent but if i set the same color on the picture and use it in the menu like a hi-res texture it won't be transparent is there anyway to make a hi-res texture transparent?

You need to give us more information if we're to help you...

• 1. Are you saving the image in the Doom pallette or as a self-palletted graphic?
  2. How are you importing the image into the lump? Using Load or Load (Raw Data)?

remap M_DOOM MENU1

My guess is that you either haven't defined the transparency in the original image correctly or you're not importing it correctly.

I imported it like (raw data). It is png format and is 630X100 how can i make it transparent?

selfpalleted

First, don't use BMPs. They were never officially supported and in the next version they won't work at all.

Use PNGs and set the transparent color with a suitable graphics tool. There is *no* predefined transparent color!

this is weird i can't get it to work. Isn't this the colour who make it transparent?

I don't think Cyan works for PNGs :/

[Graf Zahl]

Cyan is not a transparent color at all! It is only used as a transparency key by conversion tools that create the Doom patches. (G)ZDoom doesn't care about this at all. When using PNGs you will have to set the transparent color yourself and when using BMPs you just screw yourself because they won't work anymore with the next release.

and how do i set the transparenty color by my self?
