Title: character animation and objects
Post by: unknownusername on Thu 26/01/2012 19:35:13
Ok no matter how I draw I always seem to have a line outline around my characters and objects.  I have tried using the free paint program that comes with windows using the pencil tool and this is the only way that I have been able to get rid of it.  I like had drawn art (scanned art)  so that's what I am aiming for.  Is there any way to completely get rid of the transparent color?

Asked and answered hundreds of times already.

You're using brushes which basically create semi-transparent pixels at the edges. Since AGS by default only turns one RGB value transparent, everything else ends up showing more or less of the original background color.
There are two ways to fix this: either clean up the outlines in Photoshop using a hard eraser or the magic wand tools or something like that, or turn your AGS game to 32bit in the General settings, then re-import every sprite.

thanks, sounds simple enough.  Sorry about the repeat question.
