We need your help, Starfox!



Everytime I try to convert this image into a bitmap Tool.exe gives me an alpha channel error .-.

No not the Starfox image ... this one.

The exact error message is:
==> !!WARNING!! bitmap with greater than 1-bit alpha being compressed as DXT1 <==
bitmap created: #512x#256, compressed with color-key transparency, 85K-bytes

So the problem seems that tool tries to save the image as "compressed with color-key transparency" but what I need is "true-color with alpha".
Because the DXT1 compression only allows 1-bit alpha channels but my image has an 8-bit alpha channel. So no compression no problem. At least that is how I understand it :S

Could someone please beat up their Tool.exe until it spits out a bloody bitmap file, thanks a lot



Edit: Well now that I wrote down what I need to do I actually figured it out, you can simply use guerilla to change the transparency. XD



Any tips on how to make the sun look a little bit more real?

You should try making the rest of the sky orange-ish.

Please can you tell me how you solved the problem with transparency?

You can fix this issue by going to the bitmap tag you created and setting the format to something that has an alpha, like interpolated alpha.
