Okay, well firstly, this has nothing to do with scripts, so would better be posted in chat, or models and media.
Open a new image with File-New, and input the size you want in the boxes for your HUD image, make sure you have "Background Contents" set to "Transparent". Add text,save.

Okay Abdulilah, seems strange, I usually work in .png or .dds format. Not sure about the export settings for .tga, it should support transparency, but perhaps it is how they are set.
I would try .png and see if that works. I don't think you have to , but just to be sure, run the "FPSCreatorCleaner" before you start FPSC. From the image, the transparency on the other HUD images is working, so that's not the problem.
Also there is a Nvidia .dds plugin that you can install for photoshop. It's been awhile since I played with HUD images, and perhaps they have to be .dds?

The topic is fine in the scripts section. It does relate to scripts and huds. He will get a better chance of a reply here than anywhere else.

The problem is not the plugin or the fact it is in TGA, but how you are doing it. First off, if you are using the default "languagebank\english\gamecore\text\pressentertouse.tga", you need to open it, delete all channels in the channel tab, then make the layer transparent and do your text. It does work, but you forgot that the "black" is actually an "alpha channel" to render the text only in the hud.

Second, check your folder I specified. If there are the TGA files and DDS files that are the same, then you have the setting "dividetexturesize=0" (File>Preferences>Texture Quality>High (no reduction)). This means that any file you modify/create in TGA will be rendered to DDS, BUT your change will NOT show in the DDS because the engine does not recreate the DDS file. For example, I have my settings to "dividetexturesize=0" in my setup.ini, I open a level to run a test, make a change to a TGA hud, test again but forget to delete the DDS of that TGA file before running my test- no changes will show.

You can use either "dividetexturesize=0" which creates DDS of any texture file, or "dividetexturesize=2" which will not render any texture file you make into DDS and uses the file you specify. DDS, PNG, TGA are good if you need transparency or alpha channel. Stay away from JPG if you need shader applied to the texture.

There's no problem that can't be solved without applying a little scripting.

Yes I think there is a language barrier in trying to help you.
I like to use Gimp for my FPSC text work. http://www.gimp.org/
It's free.
You will need the .dds plugin if you want to use .dds. http://registry.gimp.org/node/70
In Gimp Create-New-Banner, from file menu.
