Okay guys, I need a bit of help!

So, I've used similar coding to the blood used in Rise of Rome, when the blood sprays, and a decal is placed
on the ground after death yeah?

and this is what happens...

 BFME_2_death.bmp   1.05MB   83 downloads

Okay, so this is my code in
fxlist.ini

CODE

FXList FX_InfantryDeath
ParticleSystem
Name = InfantryDeath
End
DynamicDecal
DecalName = SCCInfantryDeath
Size = 5
Color = R:180 G:20 B:20

OpacityStart = 0
OpacityFadeTimeOne = 1000
OpacityPeak = 255
OpacityPeakTime = 750
OpacityFadeTimeTwo = 5000
OpacityEnd = 100

StartingDelay = 0
Lifetime = 9999999
End
End

yeah i created an asset.dat
im not sure if im doing the right thing with the decal though... what should it look like?
and which bits should be alpha'd and stuff?
I'm really unknowledgable about alphas arghhh

well... you should have part of the TGA be "see through" when you open it with your image editing program, if its not then thats the problem

ahhh really? hangon, so then what do I draw? If i wanted to draw a pool of blood, how would i draw it then, if everythings just see through from
the alpha channel?
this is frikn confusing hahahha

[Ridder Geel]

I suggest you find some alpha channel tutorial, such as how it works I cant really explain it in a way you would understand
