Re: Modding Sprites: Getting the background to disappear
You might also find it easier to grab the sprite with less background and very sharp edges. Set the games graphic setting to the lowest, and the opague to zero. The images look ugly but you will be grabbing them in their cleanest form (I think, I havent actually tested this theory).
Then you can just paint-drop pure black (0,0,0) into the background. Dont worry about how ugly the sprite is when you edit it. When its put back in the game on normal settings it will do lots of bit-smoothing to make it look like the ones you are used to. Butif you grab the image of one being all bit-smoothed then the editing takes on alot of extra work.
