[ART] Custom Item Icon Trolling me

[Daemian]

hi modelers, i have this icon i made and it's not working good. look this img

This is the custom item, it works properly


This is the icon for interaction


And this is the TGA channels (photoshop)


So, i added the alpha channel, why it's not working ? it's back is still black (image2)

When I use a custom icon, I make the image file a png. It works fine for me and the background is transparent. Try that and see if it works.

When saving a targa with alpha from photoshop, I believe you need to make sure you're exporting as 32 bit, not 24 bit. Otherwise it will only export the three rgb channels (24 = 3x 8 bit channel, 32= 4x 8bit channel), not the fourth alpha channel.
Not that it matters, now that the problem is fixed
