Sprite surrounded by white??

[vintagemoonlight]

Hey all, I'm really new to making these, thought I'd give it a shot after 24 years of playing the hell out of adventure games. I imported a sprite for my main character. The "transparent" color was set to the correct one, but now my lil character has a white box all around her. how do i fix that? Thanks!!

I've had problems with that too. Somehow AGS has decided that your background color (which sounds like it was transparent in the original picture) should be displayed as opaque. When you imported your sprite, what option did you select in the "Transparent color" pull-down?

Is your sprite drawn on a square piece of white? If so, set transparent colour (the pull down menu when importing a sprite) to "top left", or the colour white on your palette.

If not, try setting transparent to "palette index 0". It normally works for me.
