TWBB Map in Hammer

Well hopefully in whatever it is you're doing with these, no one will look too closely at it. That's the first time I've ever done any sort of tag or anything.

these are for minor details. It is the little things that count. I am going to see your decal in game now.

Hopefully it works!!

I would do it, but I have no artistic talent, someone needs to make a "Who watches the Game and Watch" graffiti for this.

Hahah, I might be able to throw that together.

Well it didn't work but it isn't bad either.

It is a different result, obviously whatever you did to the alpha actually did something. Now you just have to do the opposite.

Oh, whoops. I must have inverted the alpha by accident. I'll go fix that now.

Hmm.. Whatever you are doing tell me, that is probably what I am NOT doing. So, that is the missing part of the puzzle for me I think.

Okay, well first off you need to save it as a 32 bit Targa file. It HAS to be 32 bit, otherwise the Alpha will not be included. Second, make sure you're doing a proper alpha channel, not a video game alpha. This means actually having an Alpha channel saved in the file, under the channels tab in Photoshop, and making sure to check off the "include Alphas" when you're saving. Other than that I'm not sure what else I could tell you. Worst case scenario you could always send me the files and I could try fixing them myself. I have Hammer on this PC, though I haven't tested to see if it works in-game yet.

This file should be the right one now:

Ha ha! Bingo! Success!


I think I know how you did it. So I can fix up the decals! Good Job! and thank you!

Sweet, sounds good. I have another one on the way here.

Awesome, can't wait to see them. I am eating dinner right now so ill be back when I am done. (Steak..)

The actual one will be transparent, but here's a background so you can see it.

Targa Link: Hopefully I got this one right! Though if it's not you can just go into the Alpha and hit Ctrl+I

Thats pretty cool, TP Ganon. Ill dl it and set it up when im done eating. Can you do a mushroom type next?

I'll see what I can throw together.

EDIT: Alright, hopefully this is what you meant.

Thats pretty good, What did you do take a Nintendo created mushroom picture and make it all watery and spraypaintish looking?

Oh and I got the other decal to work.

Well first I posterized it so it was easier to work with, then I adjusted it so that there was only the colors I wanted. Then I used threshold to turn it black and white, then separated the black and white onto different layers. Then I used some different brushes to adjust the images to make them look as though they were spray-painted. A bit of spraying and then blurring, and I think I used a gaussian blur too. Then I used an adjustment layer on the black one to make it that gradient color, and then merged it together and then after all that converted it into an alpha.

Basically.

Really good man, I put the first 2 decals up on the Original post.

Thank you Mattox, and BY2K for the decals. Please keep em' coming!

Sounds good.

And...uh...well it's Mattox, not Mottox. Mottox sounds like some cheap LoZ miniboss. :D

Oh lol, my bad accidently put o instead of a. o.O

It's fine. I've never met anyone online who pronounced it properly on the first try. Even people I've known for years still pronounce it Mattix or Matt-X.


EDIT: I got another one up. Haha, I'm starting to get pretty good at this, I think.

That is actually kind of creepy. Im not going to lie.

Creepy in a good way?

haha.. you decide!

We'll see after you set up all the lights and fog and stuff.
