Try an uninstall/reinstall, that is the best I've got. I don't know much about the actual program.

Thanks, this works very well. Only question I have is what do you save your file as if you want to create more than one static overlay? E.g. to save one you call it overlay_animo_v00, but what do you call the next overlay you create as always naming your file overlay_animo_v00 overwrites the file each time.

On the first frame you have _v00, and then _v01 and so on and so forth... KS

Wow, that was quick, cheers for that!

Make sure that you resize your image to 512x512 before exporting. Otherwise the converter won't work.

you could reread then go over what you done

So if I read that correctly, does this mean with Paint it is not possible to create transparent overlays...?

Correctumundo! You need a program like: Gimp, photoshop, Fireworks or something that supports transparent images. ~freak

I've got 4 black kids in Fable 2, but it's alright with me, I just pretend my character had a genitalia transplant and the donor was a black guy....

You could download Gimp which is quite similiar to paint. Just use google to search for gimp.

---

paint is part of windows. Try re-installing it then.

right i can help you go into control panel/add remove programs/add windows components and you should find it in there. you may need to put your xp (if your running it) in the disk drive

so you cant do overlays without stunts and effects??? Dang, I need to get that game...

yes you do the free cam helps ALOT

I CANT save with trial version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a most excellent tutorial Tigereyes, detailed. I usually use DXT3 format, not 5, however, it still saves the alpha, but I'll try 5, maybe there's more colourdepth. You should not generate MIP maps on saving, unless another process restores it to normal, however... there's a screenshot indicating to do so in the tutorial. I have a tutorial concerning overlays posted on the TMO Bar & Grill, but it lacks these great screenshots.
