Sprite Alpha Maps
looking through the stock weapon and bullet sprites I noticed that some of them have alpha maps. can you create alpha maps for custom weapon/bullet sprites and how would you get them to work in game?

There is no OP, there is only more boosters...
The stock sprites distributed with the game are indeed just for reference and BSF stores its own internal versions in the exe, but alpha maps ARE used in the game internally.Squishy wrote:Those actually aren't used in the game. They're left over sprites from the hardcoded previous versions, placed here for reference.
I think hes asking whether you can use alpha maps to control transparency of sprites. The answer is no.Nutcase wrote:If you mean as bullets, yes, you can.
I do it anyway. Find it easier to colour.
