Hi guys!

Does anyone know of a tutorial for making decals?

Thanx, Ian.

try this one mate hope it helps....http://wiki.modsrepository.com/index.php/Call_of_Duty_5:_Adding_Decals

Making them?

Basically use gimp or photoshop and place your decal at the centre of your image.

The background now needs to be converted to alpha - So if you were using gimp and you had a white background you would do "layer to alpha" and select white. This gives it an alpha channel and effectively removes the white in radiant and in-game.

Asset manager setting are same as usual apart from "blend func" = blend.

if you are referring to making your own custom decal, then it is the same basic principals as creating a custom texture with an alpha channel...

this tutorial is relative, just the asset manager will look different for waw

Making the background transparant works pretty well too.

Iloaded gimp, selected new layer/white but I cant find where layer to alpha is, if anyone has the time can you do a quick step by step for me please.

Thanx, Ian.

Nope sorry, no time for you Ian.


Oh all right then,

Load your image - resize it if needs be - make everything that you want your background to be 1 colour, then:

Layer > Transparency > Colour to Alpha

Select the colour that will be your background!

Then save as a .tga

Thanx m8!

Appreciate it, oh yeah! is that in photoshop or gimp?
