Hey, firstly I couldnt seem to find my gamecore\huds\pointer.tga,
i looked at the destination (and also the gamecore folder in the language bank- why are there two!?) and I could only find pointer.DDS not TGA.

Anywho, I made a pointer(or cursor) and placed it in there regardless, saved as.tga and it worked fine BUT it has an annoying white box around it.

I am using photoshop and I have both tried saving the pointer with a "transparant" background and also with a Black Alpha background and neither of them worked. (Edit: Have also just tried a .DDS plugin for photoshop and the get an image wont load error)

TLDR: How do i make the areas surrounding my cursor transparant?

Many thanks,
Toffee

I am having a bit of luck with this nvidia .dds plugin, but still cant seem to get the pointer spot on - there are literally hundreds of different ways to save a .dds and I am not sure which is the correct way!


EDIT:

Got it, turns out it needs to be saved as some sort of GX5 DDS, one mode out of many. But problem solved.
