i dont really have time to learn anymore coding stuff, i have a busy lifestyle and im not on much really. so if anyone can just PLEASE make me a script that shows the TEXT from the chatbox WITHOUT the BACKGROUND, please do.

i tryed to follow it but, sorry for sounding nooby, no idea where to put the script please explain?

Acctually, this wouldnt be a bad idea, once there are a few servers on it. it can help new servers start out as other players see a new server on the list and want to try it out. Although i think that there should be someone who tests games and they have to be of a high enough standard to pass to be on the list like games that arnt finish cant be put on, but thats my oppinion and i think when u click the server a info box should open, saying like, name website game style ect…. and how big game folders are they have to download =] we should all try get this project off the floor =]

yeah, well let me know if you get anything! ill do the same for you! thanks

no easy way? then give me a complex way, ill give it a try, i need it though so…

it isnt the order bit, i told the person the problem i have atm and he said to use that. it didnt change anything. DFA sorry if you did adress it but, use all confused me with technical stuff back there. please i just need the writing on the screen without the box there has to be a way :(

no it didnt, it said to put this script anywhere, so i made a new module, he said it works like that ``` Private Const GWL_EXSTYLE = (-20) Private Const WS_EX_TRANSPARENT = &H20& Private Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long, ByVal dwNewLong As Long) As Long Public Sub AlphaBlendControl(hwnd As Long) Dim Result As Long Result = SetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, WS_EX_TRANSPARENT) End Sub ``` and he said to put this into load_form in frmMirage, mine is frmStable (frmMirage) ``` Private Sub Form_Load() AlphaBlendControl (txtChat.hwnd) txtChat.ZOrder 0 Dim I As Long Dim Ending As String For I = 1 To 3 If I = 1 Then Ending = ".gif" If I = 2 Then Ending = ".jpg" If I = 3 Then Ending = ".bmp" If FileExists("GUI\800X600" & Ending) Then frmStable.Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path & "\GUI\800X600" & Ending) End If Next I MapChat.Text = "Map" End Sub ```

i just got a code and it is suppose to make my chatbox transperent, it works but, the text is behind the game for some reason, when you type it flashs then looks like it goes behind here are the scripts i used ``` Private Sub Form_Load() AlphaBlendControl (txtChat.hwnd) txtChat.ZOrder 0 Dim I As Long Dim Ending As String For I = 1 To 3 If I = 1 Then Ending = ".gif" If I = 2 Then Ending = ".jpg" If I = 3 Then Ending = ".bmp" If FileExists("GUI\800X600" & Ending) Then frmStable.Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path & "\GUI\800X600" & Ending) End If Next I MapChat.Text = "Map" End Sub ``` and ``` Private Const GWL_EXSTYLE = (-20) Private Const WS_EX_TRANSPARENT = &H20& Private Declare Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal nIndex As Long, ByVal dwNewLong As Long) As Long Public Sub AlphaBlendControl(hwnd As Long) Dim Result As Long Result = SetWindowLong(hwnd, GWL_EXSTYLE, WS_EX_TRANSPARENT) End Sub ``` screenshot ingame (cant see much) 

trust me i am using them except the MSDN i didnt install it xD

hahaha godlord you are very technical you know, us noobs (me) dont understand too much of it =]

alrighty, ill take a look, thanks guys!

so my chatbox HAS to be a grey that noone can see through? gay… :( is there anyway to remove the box and just the text is there then? thx

i dont know what your talking about, sorry, can you please explain it better? im new at this stuff, sorry for sounding nooby. thanks for the reply though!

Hey i wanted my ingame chatbox to be like half see through so that u can see the game behind it. does anyone have a script i can use to do this? thanks Also to make my hp/mp/exp images transperent. thanks!

i have practised a fair bit free scale =] but now i was gonna start trying to make some game weapons =D thx

the main problem with 32x32 that I find is the limitation of pixels, its hard to make a detailed weapon with such little pixels, i think im just gonna edit the premade weapons =] they are allready done so i can add colours and small details to make lots more weapons =] thanks for that godlord!

alrighty =], also, how many pixels x pixels do weapons have to be? these ones are pretty big i dnt think it would work :/

kreator i read your guide, but, i had trouble with the shading =] just a suggestions zoom in a bit on ur tutorial so people can see each shade, unless its just me =] thanks guys, i wanna add like a frost effect on blue one and a poison effect on green

UPDATED

there is 3/4 shades in the blade, they are so simular its hard to see, ill redo it. and what you mean out of proportion? the big blades are suppose to be like, really strong thanks tho! ill try fixup shading

hey im new to pixel art and i did these in exactly 6 mins i rushed it but anyways. please leave feedback! P.S. would it be hard to make these so players can hold them? atm there like icons  I just fixed the colours, tell me if its better.

didn't work :( can u send u my GUI and then you just fix the hp bar for me please?

please, whats alpha channels?

i have my HP MP and EXP bar on my screen, but the bars are infront of the label that tells the player like HP/HP MP/MP and EXP/EXP, i cant work out how to fix this :/ here is the screenshot. 

uhh whats alpha channels?
