RPG MAKER QUESTION

[Thiamor]

What is the default Transparent color for RPG MAKER 2003? I"m trying to add a picture, and wanting to add the transparent color onto a window, so that I can place a person on the other side, as if standing inside of a building, looking out. Yet I cannot find what the Transparent color is.

When you import a picture, you can select a color to be transparent. Just click it before selecting okay. You can make a picture transparent when you use the "show picture" or "move picture" command. There's options for the bottom and top of the picture to be transparent. (Just type in a percent)

THAT is WHY I always have a hard time. I never import. I directly save it. Thanks.

No. Importing is a good idea for every resource, if only to make sure the rm can use it. Certain picture formats don't work in rpgmaker.

You're welcome!

I forgot about imports. I usually just paste an image I want to use, over one it works with, close to the same color and format, then it uses it. It'll use any image this way. But it is too much work sometimes.

Importing will also let you know if RPGM has some issue with any files, even if they are supposedly within the guidelines.  I've had it reject perfectly fine sprites.

256 colors is annoying. There's really nothing great about it. Get irfanview, its a picture program that reduces images to 256 colors without making them look like ***. Most of the time, your picture files will reduce just fine.

And I don't know why I typed "no" in my previous post. Just sayin.
