Masks

When I put the masks for my ships in EV-Edit and play EV the mask dosen't look like it is aligned right with the sprite. Can some one help me?

Do I ask too many questions?
I wonder...

first, dont use EV-Edit. learn to use res-edit, and if the problem is still there afterwards, ask again.

I suggest this:

  1. Download Graphic Converter, its free from download.com
  2. Open a copy of your ship sprite file with Graphic converter
  3. Choose <b> Effect > Threshold </b> and put the slider down low enough that all your parts that are not dead black are now white, this will be a lower value if you rendered with anti-aliasing on
  4. Save this as your mask file
  5. There is no step 5 😄

Oh yeah, and use res-edit too . . .

Heh. I had the oddest vision. "And thou shalt put all masks after the sprites. And thou shalt put all ships after 999, so that it starts at 1000" 😉
