body trouble...

[jrm_iii]

why doesnt the body i made show up as a .png, and has a white box around it, and the colors dont work (coat, sleeves, etc.) as a .gif?

You have to add transpransy(sp?) ;O

That should fix the white stuff

[jrm_iii]

i have photoshop set to always add transparency when i save as .gif

Those swords look like they were saved as gifs in MS Paint.

Make sure you have the color indexes right, or else you won't be able to change clothes/might not function right.
Note: You do not set the transparency manually. Whichever color is in the 3rd index is going to be transparent in graal.

Oooo, elements! What version is that? That's my first graphics prog I ever used
But on another note, there should be no transparency set.

It can be any color, as long as that color is placed in the image's third index (in the pallette).
See, how graal reads the colors on the bodies is by their indexes. Each index corresponds to some part of the body (sleeves, belt, shoes, ect.). Whichever color is placed on that index corresponds to how that color functinons
For example, let's take a look at body.png:
I open up body.png, and so forth.
Now, you can open up the palette, and you'll see all of the colors body.png has assigned to it on the palette, and also being indexed. You should base your colors off of this index. Body.png's index works like this:
Index 1: black (outline?)
Index 2: blue (belt)
Index 3: green (transparency)
Index 4: Dark red (shoes)
Index 5: Red (sleeves)
Index 6: Peach (skin)
Index 7: White (coat)
That's how the index should go. Note that the colors do NOT have to be the same as these, but they should be places in the right indexes, keeping in mind on what part of the body the colors should functino as (sleeves, skin, shoes, etc.). Keep in mind that the transparency also can be any color, just as long as it's placed in index 3.
