How to make emblem

Arclight · 03-26-10, 03:58 AM

I use GIMP; needs a plugin for .dds though I think.

Paint.net is maybe easier, has .dds support build in, but don't know how to work with that.

For GIMP I just use "color to alpha" to make the background transparant, or use a selection tool to single out the image from the background, then either invert selection and remove or copy-paste into new image with transparant background. Save it with DXT3/5 compression.

Send me the image over FileFront or something and I'll rework it, if you don't know how to use the programs.

Don't forget to rename the one you want to use, that mod only handles 1 at a time and depends on the proper filename.

Maybe save the link as well, in case you overwrite one on accident or something.
