Animated spraylogo

Hi guys.

Ok,another stupid question bout spraylogos :-)

Got problems making animated Gif-spray background transparent.
Tools i got: the Gimp,Ulead Photo Impact 10 ,SprayR,Wally,Irfan View and Paint :-)
Followed the instructions on several websites,animation is fine but transparency doesn´t work.
Changed last colour in 24 bit colour table to pure blue.
Pure blue is only used 4 transparency round the Gif.
But background is nevertheless displayed in non-transparent blue.
Width n height can be divided by 2 and filesize is fine too.
What about colour depth?
Is 24 bit enough or has it to be 32 bit?
Think it seems to be a prob with colour table.

Any suggestions from the pros ?

Hi Korn,

i am far from being pro :-), and can just suggest trying to use 360g to add an alpha channel. for this make a greyscale bmp-file (for example) and drag&drop it over to a 360g-imported logo (there is a note in 360g manual).
however i dont know if this works with animated logos and how it is organised in terms of the alpha channel for each frame. i've never tried - just a suggestion.

yo Korn, make a 32bit targa file of your spraylogo and drag&drop in the 360g tool. Before you should set the working path directory in 360g to the folder, where you place your spraylogo. After importing the targa file to 360g, convert the file as a decal with alpha channels. Than you have a vmt and vtf file there, where you set the folder as working path. This is your spraylogo. Than you can go to options in your game and load the spraylogo. I dont know, if valve fix it already, but spraylogo import is only possible in english language version of HL2DM. The negative part of 360g is, that you only can import files with fixed size like 128x128 or 64x64 or 128x256 etc. For making a targa file i use Photoshop, but there is also a plugin if i`m right for other programms, for saving as targa.

Sounds difficult but there´s no transparency without 32 bit & alpha channel i guess.
I´m considering to buy Photoshop 4 a while now.
Think i´ll do it.

THX Carioca 4 ur help!

i think up from version 7.0.1. is it possible to save as targa. Otherwise u must use a plugin. I am not so sure. PS 6 is about 50 Euros now, PS 7 you can get for 90 Euros. Look at ebay, cheap there.
