Changing transparancy color

I ripped a bunch of graphics from a game called FreeSpace 2. They look great in-game (unless your Polaris), but there's a problem. The graphics are very dark, and when I convert them to SC's palette, parts of them turn totally black. This is fine until one flies over something else, because parts of whatever it flew over show through due to the fact that black = transparent. So, is there any way to change the transparency color? <3 anyone who helps.



None.

PyMS and ProTRG developer

The newest versions of PyGRP and SFGRPConv both have the option to choose a different palette index for transparency.

Edit: Another option is just modifying your unit palette so index 0 is not black (or any color that might appear in your grp).

How and what are you using to port them?

What format are the graphics files stored in?

hah yeah in the past that might've been up my alley. haven't really been mapping lately, been too busy with everything else. and kinda lost interest too tbh. just not enough people left on SC to feel worth investing the time personally.
