My 3rd help thread in a week. Wow.

I'm gonna ask a simple question: how do you compile several bitmaps into one file? Like hud_ammo_outlines.bitmap, somewhere in ui\hud\bitmaps\combined.

If you'd look at one of the bitmaps like the grenade icons bitmap, you'd find out how to do it, because when you want to put more then one bitmap together, you do that in photoshop or w/e. It's the same process of compiling the bitmap.


I'm guessing layers. Ok, I'll check, if I do find the time. Homework sucks.

Oh wait now I see. Alphas suck.

It's a sprite. Make all the bitmaps you want, then paste into a picture with a exactly blue background with the blue border being 1 pixel. Put them 1 pixel away from each other. Going downwards.

Borders don't necessarily need to be one pixel thin. I had one with 10-pixel-thick borders.

Well, whatever works. I rarely ever do this.
