Transparent .paa files

Recommended Posts

I have tried to make a 256x256 .paa file with alpha channel for several days. But I just won't succeed. This ridigilous. So far the methods I have used:

- Kegety's plug -> save as

- Coversion from 32.bit Targa with alfa-channel with .paa tool and the same with Kegety's

The texture just shows up as a grey box or won't load into game at all.

I have tried all the tricks: alfa channel, converting background to a layer, deleting holes to a transparent layer, masks etc. The original file is 8bit RGB file.

It should work  banghead.gif

PaintShop Pro

1 - open the jpg in a paint prog

2 - save as uncompr 24bit TGA file

3 - use magic wand to select the background only as mask

4 - invert the mask

5 - slect "save mask to alpha"

6 - save TGA again

7 - open TexView

8 - open TGA file with TexView (background should be a grey colour)

9 - select save, change file name from .TGA to .PAA

10 - done

EDIT: Note: TGA file must be save as 24bit (with alpha channel) and UNCOMPRESSED
