black border sprites!? Created 19 years ago2004-12-14 18:27:09 UTC by JujitsuMan

I recently downloaded sprview, upon finding out it's a piece of crap i deleted it, ever since then... all my sprites have a black border where it is supposed to be clear, is there something missing!? Please HELP!!

I think you need to treat a sprite as you would a transparent brush entity.

Basically treat a sprite as a func_wall that you want the blue not to show up on.

no go BL, sprites are supposed to be programmed to do it automatically, i just hope i don't have to reinstall hl

are you saying that you downloaded sprite viewer but realised it was crap so you uninstalled it but for some odd reason all your sprites have a black border around them. Whats wrong with reinstalling hl as its just the game (try reinstalling steam a few times and then you will be pissed off)

because that's too much freakin work to reinstall hl, and yes, you've got it down perfect, but i still don't know what's wrong!

Do you use steam?

I find it easy to install hl on steam as you just delete files and the double click it and let it download but im guessing you use a CD or dont use steam so i cant really help you but later on im sure people will help you like anthony

give your sprites
render mode:additive
fx ammount: 255

ty ty ty ty ty ty ty, can't believe i didn't think of that. guess it seemed a little to obvious, most of hl1 is more complicated than it should be... grrrr.
