Problem with dds files

Post by Daght »

I got the Atlatsmap for custom Items but when i save the file from photoshop (CS3 32bit) to dds the background turn to white. How can I make a transparent background for my custom items?

you need an alpha channel. black in alpha channel means transparent.

In addition to having a proper alpha channel (white = opaque, black = transparent) you need to save the DDS in a format that supports alpha (A8R8G8B8). You can also open the pre-existing item atlases from the asset pack to take a look how they have been made.
