An idea that's been kicked around some

[Maquiladora]

Big mc whats that script supposed to do? It runs but all its done is remove the alpha channel that sprite edit adds.

[The Big Mc]

and made a new one which compiles?

[The Big Mc]

IT should kill the alpha edit the hue and then make a new alpha.

[Maquiladora]

No, it didnt create a new alpha channel.

It didnt change the hue either.

[The Big Mc]

should do open the script in notepad.

[Maquiladora]

When i do open it in notepad it says there an error in it.

Unexpected Error: JascApp.InvalidParameterValid
Trackback:

None

[The Big Mc]

you may have to make a new one i can tell you wat to do if you like

[Maquiladora]

Yeah i was trying to but i dont know correct proceedure to destroy alpha channel, change hue, and create new alpha channel.

[The Big Mc]

here it goes hope it helps


Start with load up guxx1.1.tga

Now start recording your script (you may wish to run throw this first.

Layers > load/save mask > load mask from alpha channel

Load up the alpha channel

Layers> merge>visible

Adjust > hue and saturation > hue/saturation/lightness

Fiddle with the hue settings to get the correct colours

Now

Adjust > colour balance>black and white points

Set them so there is no black left on an image (the second colour on the black screen at 27,27,27)

Next to make the new alpha ( note the old alpha is just replaced)

Layers> new raster Layer

Now paint this Layer pure black

Then

Layers >arrange >send to bottom

Layers> merge>visible

Layers > load/save mask > save mask from alpha channel

Now save using the same name as the first mask it will prompt for over right

Layers> new raster Layer

Now paint this Layer pure black

Layers> merge>visible


Now save the script

To alter the hue values you can do it again or just do the hue in a new script then copy it over to the old script in notepad

Having a problem with the part highlighted above. Once ive merged all the visible layers it wont let me "save mask to alpha channel".

[The Big Mc]

What about make a new mask. sorry forgot to tell you that.

[Maquiladora]

I noticed the exported shadow pictures from sprite edit dont come with alpha channels, but the unit pictures do. That might be why i cant get a script working on them all together, like ill have to do the shadows seperately.

[The Big Mc]

they should not have an alpha. just pure black on a white background.

[Maquiladora]

Okay that explains that, dumb question i suppose. I might actually get somewhere now.
