I have been trying to get the masked property to work, according to the Sega500 tutorial, but to no avail. What I've done:
Set a portion of the background to pink (255,0,255). Changed the image to indexed 8-bit color in Photoshop. Set the first color in the pallete to be pink. Did this in both photoshop and using the Bright utility provided by epic.
When I set the canvas style to STY_Masked, the image looks oblique. When I set it to STY_Transparent, the image is all transparent.
I have also tried adding an alpha channel to the image in The GIMP and settign STY_Additive, but again to no results (neither .pcx nor .bmp preserve transparency and .tga will not load for some reason).
My final intent is to have the a spinning oblique map on the HUD, which I made by outputting a camera script rotating around my map in Terragen, saving each frame side by side in a long texture file, and setting a loop to move through the frames as the player's YAW changes. All I need now is to mask out the background and leave just the oblique map, by masking the texture and then using the FB_AlphaBlend property, but its not working so far. Any suggestions on what to do differently? Thanks.
