IROG'S PROFILE

Hi all !

I like 16-bits RPGs (especially action RPGs) where you feel the quest behind the lines of code. I also like strategy, puzzle solving, immersive stories, tabletop RPG and LARP.

I'm a hobbyist C programmer who likes to work on custom game mechanics. My very first project was a very basic map generator for Genesia, aka Ultimate Domain https://rpgmaker.net/users/Irog/locker/UltimateDomainWorld.zip

I also want to help developers polishing their projects with my player feedback. So I'll be happy to test your game !

See you around,
Irog

Thank you Liberty for the cool badges!

@Kalin
Thanks for your interest in MinST. I think your comment would fit best on the gamepage where other Avast users can read it.

@kory_toombs
I wonder if compiling C code with a C++ compiler would give a "really rare file" as well.

Its not a competition, so you'll have to get more feedback through your gamepage I guess.


What about the badges?

Thanks! Feel free to share your thoughts on the game.

The image was created using Paint so the background was probably the default white. Using the clipboard might do the job.

In the mean time, Deacon Batista's instructions worked. Here is the result.

I spent way more time on my gamepage than I expected. I hope it is worth it; like attract players and get feedback on the game.

Great ! Tanks a lot !

In step 3, my version of Gimp has "Color to Alpha" and if I then set the color to 00ffff I don't need step 4 (I couldn't do step 4 because my "?" key didn't do the remove action).

@ Deacon Batista
It works perfectly! How did you do it?

@kory_toombs
I did the following:
Tools > Selection Tools > By Color Select --> click in a cyan region
Ctrl-x
The cyan turned into white but it isn't transparent.

In the "Export Image as PNG" option box, the "Save color values from transparent pixels" option isn't selectable.

@Pancaek
When I follow your instructions, I get the cyan turned into black (not transparent) and in the "Export Image as PNG" option box, the "Save color values from transparent pixels" option isn't selectable.

I want to improve a gamepage by making the background of some images transparent.

Here is a typical image where the cyan color must become transparent:

I use Gimp 2.8.18 and do the following:
Select Layer > Transparency > Color to Alpha... --> set color to "00FFFF"

The cyan becomes transparent but other colors of the picture get altered.

Do you know a way to turn the background transparent and preserve the other colors?
