AxlDave Posted October 18, 2013 Share Posted October 18, 2013 (edited) I have made 2 new perks, but I am having trouble implementing the perk icons - Talon of Fear and Piercing Strike. I have a .png image for each perk, but cannot seem to convert either of these to a .dds texture without losing the background transparency. As such, the perk icons have a big black background which is very aesthetically displeasing. My method is:- Convert the perk_Action Boy.dds to a format that GIMP can open- Open Action Boy and desired perk icon with GIMP- Select Action Boy figure using Select By Color and delete- Select desired perk figure using same method and copy- Paste desired perk figure into Action Boy image I have tried this method with various different picture formats, including .bmp, .png and .tga. I have tested converting perk_Action Boy.dds to each format, doing nothing, saving under a different name, and then converting back again and it also loses its transparency, so it is likely to be an encoding problem. Can somebody explain how to successfully convert these images to .dds for Pip-Boy Perks? Specifically with reference to keeping the background transparency. ---EDIT--- Topic Closed, solved the problem by fiddling around with Alpha Channels Edited October 18, 2013 by AxlDave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
