Hi guys, I'm having a problem with my importing tool in RMVX. Every time I try to import a face-set into my game, and lets say it has black as the border for the face, I right and left click on that back-drop surrounding my face I'm importing and expect (like ALLLL me other face-sets) for it to disappear. It doesn't... I have spent a LOT of time on an entire set of faces for all of my people in my game and it just wont go away. Can someone please help me out with this, its frustrated me to no end and I can't figure out what else to do.

Thanks guys.

I'm not sure what is causing the problem but you can fix it if you set the alpha channels for the image and copy them into your game's folder where the facesets would be. To do this I'd use Paint.net (but I'm sure other editors like GIMP or Photoshop can do this in a similar manner). Download Paint.net and open your faceset image in it. Select the Magic Wand tool (selects same/similar colored pixels as the one selected, you can adjust how picky it is with the Tolerance bar) and click on the background you want to make transparent. Push the delete button on the keyboard and Paint.net will delete the selected area and replace it with a transparent color (which is a gray checkerboard pattern). Repeat for everything you want to make transparent. Save and insert this file into your game's graphics/facesets folder.

If you're having trouble I can do it. Learning how to do this will be handy and it's easy to do though.

Thank you, I am going to give the Paint.net a try and see what happens from there.
