I need help for my Mod

Thanks a lot Ace_Garp. I'm sending an e-mail now.

Now I need help with the ship graphics... anyone who wants to help with the graphics, send an e-mail to lordvader94@gmail.com.

You can use PSP to make ship graphics. I'm quite sure it can output 32-bit (RGBA) .tga files as it's a very common file format. However, I have not used it myself.

OK... when I tried doing the graphics a few days ago, I could make it but then when I saved it as a .tga file, it would merge all the layers. Perhaps I was doing it wrong. I'll try it again.

Actually I think I was wrong. I don't think I listened (or read) closely to the Mod-Making Guide to the Galaxy.

BTW, when are you going to do a weapons help file in that guide? Or maybe phalgm could do it if he has spare time.

I keep putting that off... Maybe next month if I remember

(We're trying to submit something to IGF with the deadline being 9/30, and I'm shipping another game at work that's kept me really busy for the last year)

Hmm, I was wondering if it's possible to make completely invisible spaceships by simply making a completely black/blank alpha channel on the ship graphics. Maybe Fingers could help? I'll try it soon anyway.

Well, i don't mod all that much but the problem i see is that enemy ships wouldnt know its invisible so if you have a three way battle the ai would just attack it.
