Hello i'm working on a MOD for BGT-BG2 called "GOODS of FAERUN". It's a MOD who add some merchants, few little quests and a lot of new items. I will make a merchant who sell armors and helmets of diferent colours but with no special caracteristics, it's just a black helm, or a dark red plate for fun, just to be fashion; however...
I will also create new ITEMS, and in that purpose, i need to create new bams; i will recolorize existing bams with news colours schemes. I make 2 bmp files with a selected bam and after i work on them under GIMP 2. Next i use ITEM GRAPHIC CONVERTER to get a "quite" new original bam. It's quite easy to do but i've got a big problem: i see the green bottom of the bams IN GAME; i've made some ressearches and i think it's a ALPHA CANAL (who set transparency) problem. It's like some graphical zones were losing their transparency during the change betweeen bam file becoming 2 bmp files. So if someone know something about that graphical problem, i would be so glad if you can help me, and explain me how it works exactly, and how dissmiss that green bottom, if you can indicate me a tutorial it would be nice too. I'm not afraid of complicated explanations: i want to know all about that subject, cause i need to be a pro item creator. This post has been edited by Rigel: Jan 30 2009, 08:19 PM |

HEY THERE !!!
 A black 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 background and the green 120 100 100 0 255 0 in place of black 0 0 0 0 0 0 (GIMP 2 settings). I found a quite good method; with your great advices Sir-Kill  I i've got that bmp you see at the end of my work in GIMP 2; i create a bam with Item Graphics Converter and in BamWokshop you just have to fill the green zones with the " dark shadow colour" ...cause that black 0 0 0 0 0 0 in GIMP 2 will appear transparent in BW and in game ! I tried many things and i think it's the best way to make some bams. Now i can make some great bams; i really thanks you so much for your advices and patience Sir-Kill  After 15 hours ressearches it's ok ! It was not so hard in fact...  YES WE CAN This post has been edited by Rigel: Feb 9 2009, 08:23 PM |
