Background, bonehead Sui :P

I am making this custom title thingy right? And you guys know that you can't use JPGs if you want to make like a "hole" in the picture, 'cause then the jpg will turn that white. If you use .gif files you can have "holes", but OFP doesn't support .gif files. So I took my .gif and I texviewed it to a .paa file right? But it still turns out white! :-\
So I remember Suis excellent mission Facile Ground, which had a title with "holes" in it. So I DePBOed it and had a look at the description.ext file. U-huh, nothing different here. Just to be sure, I took the title.paa file and put it in my folder. Then I tried again. My picture had a background but Sui's didn't!! Aigh! So I had a look at the title.paa file in texview yea? And what do I see? His "holes" are grey, but how the hell did they get grey? When I converted my .gif it just turned white! I mean like, wtf? He using some kinda über Texview or summin here?

How can I make my "holes" to become grey as well? Thanks!

Closer inspection showed it was fiddling with Alpha Channels that made the trick. Hooray for me.

Hmm... bit of an identity crisis there, armsty? ;D

When I do resourses I use Photoshop to create a new .tga file (background transparent). I do what I want to do, copy a picture in or make some lettering, and save it as a .tga.

Then I pull out Texview and open the .tga file. I save it as a .paa, and throw it into my mission directory

What? Of course I'm God. ;D

Yea, I noticed that when I checked off view RGB in texview. There were some Alpha Channel stuff there. So I pulled up the good ol' photoshop manual. ;D

Just typical you replying a thread that's solved.
