It seems I have there's not much choice for me, so I would ask for everyone's help and advice.

How do I index something like this:


That would make a result like this on mugen:

If anybody knows please show me some tutorials or teach me how to do it, I'll be all eyes! And I need all the help I can get.

When I tried to index it this is my result so far:

It's my biggest problem at the moment. :wutnow: 

Notice: I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS3 to index images.

well that isnt really a "index" issue to make it look like that u need to perfectly cut that moon basically get rid of the glowing parts and after that add a trasparent 2nd layer with the glowing moon to make it look like that.

Sorry to bother, but can you show me a sample? A shot and a Code at the same time.

Code:

Trans = add

Go crazy.

You mean something like this:

[BG RedMoon]
type = normal
spriteno = 3,1
start = -250,-225
delta = .75,.75
mask = 1

[BG RedMoon2]
type = normal
spriteno = 3,2
start = -250,-225
delta = .75,.75
mask = 1
trans = add

@Madlax

yes something like that would od that efect.

Ok thanks. I'll try that out.

Man that's gonna be tight! Where do you get your sources?

Simply adding trans to that single sprite (no need for two separate code lines) will do exactly what you need. adding a trans layer removes the black.

It's a free PSD that ExShadow shared via MFG.

Actually he didn't share it via MFG, he gave it to me to work on it, and find alternatives like particle , and the pink waterfall animations of this stage on my own.

@Vegaz: Indeed this is gonna be tight.

YES! I did it! Thank You GLB, your a life saver!  

Also MadLax, try using trans=addalpha if you want to have more control over the alphas (brightness/transparency) of your sprites.

You just change the trans=add line to trans=addalpha and add another line under it as alpha=200,255

Like this

[BG RedMoon2]
type = normal
spriteno = 3,2
start = -250,-225
delta = .75,.75
mask = 1
trans = addalpha
alpha =x,y


The x value is the brightness and the y value controls how much black you want. Try out 200,255 and mess around with the 200 to adjust your brightness.

Thanks! I'll try on experimenting that.
