Texturing Help

Guessing you are using MSpaint or something.

You'll need to use an image editor that saves transparency as well because right now it's saving the image in 24 bit (which lacks transparency) but you need to have it in 32 bit instead. When editing it, transparent parts should have a checkerboard pattern behind them, but right now it's white.

 

Okay, so since your transparency problem was solved, on to your other problem. As AsuMagic said, only certain colors will be recolored. In KAG/Base/Sprites you'll find TeamPalette.png (this one: ). Open it up with paint.net and zoom in. On the left most side you'll see 4 blue pixels. Those 4 blue pixels are the colors that will change to corresponding team's color. Then next column has 4 red pixels. This is team 2's colors. After that, there are 4 green pixels, and these are for Team 3 (if you are playing on server with more than 2 teams) and it goes so on and so on for up to the 8th team.

So here's an example using this zoomed in version of the palette:


Anything that is the same color as the pixel in A1 will be changed to the color shown in A2 for the 2nd team. Anything colored the same way as the pixel in C1 will be changed to the color shown in C3 for the third team. The engine does this automatically, so you don't even need to make a different team's sprite.

Now since you are making a texture pack, you can change the colors in the 1 column to suit whatever color you want changed to another team. In your case, you are using slightly different blues (I think) so just get the blue colors you have on your new sprites and add replace the existing blues (order doesn't matter as long as you keep the colors you want changed to consistent across the lettered rows). You don't even have to use blue really for the first team if you don't want to, but it's important that you use the colors you want distinguished between teams to be on there.

Last thing to note, which might be useful since you are doing a texture pack, if I recall correctly, someone said you can add more rows to the teampalette.png if needed (don't remember if it works for columns though). In other words, you could have a row E and F (or even more) if you happened to need more colors. Just add the extra row of pixels and then corresponding colors. Don't quote me on that though, cause I'm not 100% sure, but I do think I heard it once before.
