Alternatively, you can use the checkerboard technique.

What the hell? Why would you want to source that when it's so easy?

~~Ill post an bmp later with opacity change.
I know its against the rules but its for a good cause.~~

that's not transparency at all that's you just making the sprite look lighter -_-'

EO use DX7 where there is no Alpha (only Red, Green, Blue colors). DX8 use ARGB (alpha, red, green, blue) and BMPs files don't have transparency. Only way to get alpha blending is rewrite DX7 to DX8 XD

I lol'd.

Anything is possible if you know how to do it. :icon_meditation:

[zidsal]

there was a .dll that allowed you to use alpha blending in dx7 no idea were to find it these days as it was on the web a year or so back ;D
However it destroyed fps so your best bet is to use dx8.

edit
Found the.dll in old game backup*, uploaded it for you.

*Just adding that robin programmed all of this in for me so I have no idea how to work it  XD.

You realize you can just alter your source to allow a .gif and I know for a fact that gif has transparency.
