Replacing...
 

Ok so I made my custom body and everything.
Made the ganis and so forth.
But for some reason when I use it on my server
it just shows random pieces of my normal body.
It's sorta like Graal2001s bodies "CUSTOM MADE JUST THE SAME SIZE
IMG"
EDIT: Oh wait it has to .PNG... ok thats solved but now I can't get a transparent backround. Does anyone know of a free paint program that does png transparentcies?

You can try saving the images as .gif and use RGB 0 0 0 as transparency then using gif2mng.exe to turn them into .pngs.

Ya about that gif2mng... I never figured out how to use that. I duble click it and it doesn't do anything. :\

If you have Microsoft Office 2000 (NOT XP OR 2003) you can use the Microsoft Image Viewer program to export files as PNGs. If not, try downloading a trial version of Macromedia Fireworks or Jasc Paint Shop Pro.

Drag the .gif over the gif2mng.exe.

Alternatively you can just get someone with psp or so to do it for you =p

To set transparency on custom-colored bodies you need to have "body100" (or above 100) in the filename. This will render it as a colored body and display correctly.

lol....*DR. Evil Voice*

riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight......


i was thinking about making a tutorial for this because its a graal myth to most.

YOur image has a color pallette. Each color in the pallete is assigned a number starting from 0 and going to 255.
that number is called the index.
0 - outline
1 - belt color
2 - transparent color
3 - shoe color
4 - sleeve color
5 - skin color
6 - coat color

it doesnt matter what theese colors are at all. they could all be black if you wanted too. Just as long as each black is a separate indexed color. The reason people say you have to use gif2mng is because this program doesnt disturb the pallette indexes, where a program such as PSP removes all unused indexes and resorts them in a neater order. Which isnt bad in most cases, but here you dont want to do this.

So you save your image as a gif, then turn it into a png using the gif2mng program.
if you want to see your pallette indexes go to Colors>Edit Pallette.
the index of the selected color will be in the lower left corner of that window.
thats all there is.
