I would like to ask, how do you make a png transparent, I know there is the true or false statement on the end of the screen:blit function, but even if that is set to "true" it doesent make the places I want transparent.. is there a special color that must be made? is there a reason that it wont work?

I know thats off subject, but it could be helpful to halo project aswell as you dont have the masterchief transparent

**MasterChafed** · July 3rd, 2006, 02:19

actually yes I do. The Masterchief has most of the outside transparent. And to make the white (or w/e color waste space it has) transparent use photoshop or w/e and use the background eraser tool.

what would be amazing is multiplayer in 2D for Halo.

Buuuuut, first things first, right?

here you go, this one includes a health bar, and the walking animation doesn't start until you press right or left. I still cannot get the animation to stop or the lag when you press left or right to ease up. I could use some help if someone could give it to me. But none the less, here you go. note: the health bar is currently inflicted upon by the L and R buttons. This is just to prove that it works as I currently don't ahve any enemies. and the pass for the rar is the same as b4, so no need to pm.

Cool I'm going to add that update to the first post. As for your coder tag... its getting sorted out I promise you

thats right i have to figure out and plan for a single player, and to fix all of the bugs. For those who have ever played soldat (i think thats what it was called) that is how I imagine my multiplayer being if this project gets that far.

hey MasterChafed, if u need some help on the pixel art you could go here : http://pixeljoint.com/forum/
and here http://www.pixel-arts.org/pixelopolis/index.php
and ask for some help, show off some of the work that you have done and what are you working on anf stuff like that ( i know it can be hard pixeling a hole game by your self ( iam a pixel artest my self, but iam not that good at all ;p )

so i hope so see some nice enemis soon so i can kill em \,,/

Ps: i think you should change the whole way that you have the GFX right now, and make them more mini, kinda like metal slug, but halo!!! it would be mad kool if u get some nice pixel artest to help
