Jooshua6 Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 i have added resources like trees into the game for woodcutting and when i added it to the map the trees black background is visible now i can erase all the black in the background around the tree and i was wondering if there was a faster way i can remove the black than the eraser tool im using corel paintshop pro.also wondering if it would be possible for me to use something that just removes all of a certain color ( black ) and then batch process to other graphics.

MCADAMS Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Might be a little to obvious but you could use the paint bucket to turn everything black to white/transparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jooshua6 Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 too* obviously.And no paint doesn't work thanks for the attempt.Using paint bucket would just turn the background white in the game.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abhi2011 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Use the mask layer.If you are using a DX8 engine then make sure the tilesets have a white background. If you are using a DX7 engine make sure that the tilesets have background the same colour as the first pixel in the tilesheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abhi2011 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Open up the map editor. Make a ground layer. With the mask layer place stuff like benches, fountains and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 If you're using Corel Paint Shop Pro, you should get comfortable with the batch processing feature. You can use it to record a series of actions (which you actually perform in real time) and then apply it to however many files you want. In my experiences, five minutes of playing around with it was better than any tutorial.Also, you can use the magic wand (within the 3 selection options of the toolkit) with a low tolerance (say, the 0-5 range) to select all of a colour, and then press delete to remove that colour. Use the contiguous toggle if only touching pixels should be included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
