I have a small problem with a sprite file and i don't know if its my computer or something else...

anyway i'm uploading the whole gun (sprite and all) you can see what i mean by "small problem"

basically the best way i can explain it is to say that instead of blanking out the pink in the .bmp pic and just in the spaces it SHOULD blank it out it blocks out the actor,ground,dropship ect. It looks as tho my actor is holding an invisibility cloak where the invisipink is

Thx srry for the trouble and i hope its operator error

This would be a prime example of a sprite being out of palette.
Check out this tutorial on how it's done.

*edit:i can't get it to work...

whats it mean by


last thing do you know how to line up where the mag goes ... I just can't get it, close but no cigar would be what i can do

Open your sprite
Open Base.rte/Pallette.bmp
Paste your sprite into Pallette.bmp, cropping if neccessary
Save As, overwriting your old sprite. You may need to close your old sprite to do so.
