[RM2K3] Trouble making a PNG image have transparency
RPG Maker 2000 and 2003 do not support image transparency by default, this is why importing a transparent image will not work. If you try to import any PNG with transparency somewhere that area will look black in the engine.
To achieve transparency, instead of leaving transparent areas in your image, you need to use a background color that the faces/sprites do not use. Most people use pure/neon colors, since those are not often used in the artwork or found in nature.
Some samples of those colors are these:

So, if you upload that faceset with, say, neon green behind:

When you import it to 2k3 using the program's Resource Manager, this preview window will pop up:
When it does, CLICK on the green portion. You'll notice the green portion will start blinking. This means that color has been selected to be the transparent color. Click OK to import it and the next time you use that face in-game, the green portion will not show up, instead that portion will be transparent.

It's The Midpoint Checkup everybody!!
Time to show a bit of what you've been doing! It can be screenshots of your game, resources you've made for it (like songs, sprites, title screens, maps, etc), a video if you want!
You have three days, between October 14th and October 16th (pay attention to timezones!) to do this and everyone who does will get an EXTRA BADGE!

I got my entry! But, I am wondering, how does the reroll work? Like, if I get a reroll, do I have to use it, can I mix both? I can work with what I got, but I'm curious what it would be if I got a reroll and I kinda want one just to see what it is and if it is even better. Otherwise, I'll just go with what I got, lol.

It is as Marrend says! The witness of the veil achiev/badge is an extra badge that you can get if you come to this event page during the checkpoint and do a show and tell of your project's progress, including screenshots and such, just a fun way for everyone to see what everyone else is doing so far.
This checkpoint will happen in the middle of this month for a period of 3 days; from October 14th to the 16th. I will post a reminder when the time comes, so don't sweat it for now.
