alpha with .bmp

[smurfslayerx]

I have been trying to figure out how to do this for a couple of weeks, but I have had no progress. I was wondering if anyone here might know how to do it, and if they could help me figurre it out. I was told to use the notepad to change it, but I dont know how to change it the right way.

Soldat treats 00FF00 (neon green) as transparent/"alpha."  BMP files don't actually have an alpha layer, but you use this neon green color and Soldat translates it.

Reeeeename the .png to .bmp keke?

I think he means making alpha transparency with .png format, and then renaming it to .bmp. It has sense.

For modding you have to rename the PNG file with alpha-transparancy (extra layer which sets transparency (0-100%) for every pixel) to the BMP file you want to mod, so it did make sense 

but not for mapping that doesn't make sense.

ah, well... I was thinking in a mapping sense

His post lives on in my quote of it, so his insight does not go unnoticed/lost

How do I rename the .png to .bmp? I was told to use notepad, but I have no idea how. Oh, and by off topic spam you man that click thing, thank you for removing it, my brother made me put that on every forum I use, because by clicking the link he gets reputation points or something, I tried to find the topic to change it, but thank you for removing it.

open mspaint if your using windows, and save as whatever.BMP.

You have to enable known file extensions (for Windows).
