RPG MAKER XP TRANSPARENCY

It is way easier than 2k3.

There are two ways for transparency on XP:

Normal way: Paint all the transparent areas on your image the color you want it (say pink), then just save it. Now open the import meno on RMXP and once the image comes to be imnported you will see two color squares bellow it, the first says transparency color, so click on the pink area on your image and it will be selected as transparent.

Alpha channel: You must have some different levels of transparency for a PNG file for it to work, but once it does you just import it without needing to pick a transparent color.

Well in 2k3 each file can have its own transparency color too, you just edit which color is transparent on Idraw pallete, but it is not as practical as RMXP import thing.

Now for Alpha channel: you must have either photoshop or something similar which lets you actually cut of the background of a image so it is transparent even if you open it on the internet (kinda like my avatar, it is an 80x80 pixel square, but you can only see the pictures inside it).

With this you can use semi transparency, like having a shadow bellow your character which is 50% transparent ou having a gradient transparency effect (just check the spell animations on the RMXP RTP). Since this implies that you have more than one transparent color, RMXP just accepts the transparency on the file.

No idea if this is any better explanation o.o

Hey Seraph, my XP seems to be kind of...not....on this comp? Also, VX is better and you can use the XP graphics in it (it just takes some dickering). So why go XP when there's a newer spiffier maker out? Just wondering.
