compmaniac Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 What's an alpha image? Why do portrait makers need it or something? What does it do? Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/26374-alpha-image/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred13 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 an alpha image is a 8-bit Grey scale picture which removes unnecessary space in the picture. In portraits it takes away whatever is around the player, that's why you don't see any grey space around their heads. In an alpha file, there i black and white, whatever is black is the transparent part in the game.

compmaniac Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Thanks. Maybe it'll come in handy if I ever think about designing portraits and cyberfaces and stuff like that.

DJEagles Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 I understand that, I am not here to give you a hard time. It is good to see someone trying to learn how to mod, you have more patience than I. All I am trying to say is a lot of the topics that you have created, can be answered by searching the board.

I don't want you to think I haven't done some research...I have... http://mvpmods.com/Rules.html ...but where does it say that my name will be changed to "I am spam."? And how does that name system work? Is that like a first strike or something? Will it ever be rescinded?

DJEagles Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 http://www.mvpmods.com/Downloads/c=31.html http://www.mvpmods.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=...pha+images.html The first is a list of tutorials on how to do various Mods. The second is a thread that mentions Alphas and how to make portraits. I used the search function. And searching for "I am spam", brings up numerous threads where you have posted...so the search button is working fine.
