Tileset problem - None Transparent

Hehe, hi there again!
Okay, I have the trail of XP and I'm helping someone on their game, they need help with a bloody town map and I'm trying to give examples using XP, because that's what he is using.
Anyway, I've tried to clear the background color using paint programs and it works. But when I import them, it gives it color and it messes everything up by using a actual color - white or black.

Is there a way to stop this and make it so where it doesn't have a solid color behind it? I've read through and searched for anything related to this, but I couldn't find anything at all. Some dealt with other problems, and frankly, I know how to do the rest. I can't seem to figure this out, though lol

Anyway, if anyone could help me, I'd be very thankful. Thanks and cheers!

Read the fucking rules.

Moved to the right forum.

Why don't you just keep the color there and then import it? XP gives you the option to pick one color to erase transparency and one color to change the opacity by 50% (for shadows and stuff). I don't know why, but people who use XP feel it necessary to do like every resource with a hot pink or intense green background color. I shouldn't really have to explain any of this. This is all XP 101. Also, don't piss Falcon off!

I thought I was in troubleshooting. My bad, I certainty didn't mean to piss off Falcon. I've read the rules.
It was a simple mistake, which shouldn't be handle like I killed someone.

Oh, and by the way, thanks for the...help, grafikal? I don't have a transparent button to click when I import, which is exactly why I asked if there was another way.
But I appreciate the help you tried to hand to me, at least someone can here on this forum can do it.

But even the default tilesets are creating different, funky colors.

Anyway, again, it was a simple mistake.

Use a different image program and set the transparency there.

Are you using the resource manager in XP? Or are you just dropping the images in the folders yourself. You should be opening XP and then using XP's Resource Editor to import images. If they're the right format, XP will prompt you with a window asking you to choose transparency.

I've used GIMP, Paint, Photoshop and Corel Painter X. They've set the transparently right, but it just doesn't show up in XP.

I've tried the ones already in XP and they worked, but they had a white background. Now, when I import one of my own, it shows a red dot near the top, but I can still use it and everything. It just has background colors.

And when I exported one and imported it again, it allowed me to see the buttons we were talking about, but I've tried nearly every color. Black sometimes gets picked by itself and I won't be able to change it.

I've fixed it.
the place I downloaded this from wasn't the main website for it, it had been lying. I found the real site and download the real trial. It works now, finally.
So, I suggest that if anyone reads this and has the same problems, you downloaded a bad file. Find the homepage...never mind, I'll list it here.

Anyway, if you don't have a transparent box, than it's a bad file. Download the real one >.<
