  • CtP Avatars

    Since there are still no CtP avatars up, it looks like I'm gonna have to make them myself...

    Question: what do I need to do to get them added? Am I right in assuming they have to be PCX files smaller than 10k and that I have to send them to Markos? Anything else I should know/do?

      Np. I'll assume that's gif or jpg. I'll start working on them as soon as I get home.

              Damn, does anyone know how to get rid of that white background? Or will that happen automatically when Markos actually makes them into an avatar?

                  Okay, let's try this then...

                  Edit: a different unit this time.

                    What the difference between a regular gif and a transparant gif? I have the pic without background in PSP7 but if I save it as GIF, it shows up with a white background

                      Damn, never mind. (I thought I'd edit this post before I'm accused of spamming )

                        Locutus, normally gifs don't support trasparency though it seems that some programs can do it.

                        Try to convert it to jpeg. Then it will be easy to make it trasparent.

                          Well, actually they both support transparancy, but not by default. I figured out Saving As isn't enough. I needed to Export it as GIF (or JPEG, that will probably work too). Thanks for the advice anyway.

                          Now I only need to adjust the exporter in such a way that it doesnt' insert that ugly orange or whatever it is...

                            Hopefully this is the one... BTW, much thanks in advance to Immortal Wombat, who is helping me out with the CtP2 graphics.

                            Edit: trying out a new version

                              Keygen (or anyone else for that matter), what graphics program do you know/use that can save JPEGs with transparant background? I can't get PSP7 to do it. GIFs work ok, but I'm rather dissappointed with the quality of the graphics, JPEGs look so much better...
