Hi,

I know there are tutorials for making non decal flags. I have gone through them and tried. The issue i get is, i can get the image to appear in game, but it only appears in shades of grey.
i am using photoshop 7.0, from trial and error, i figured out i need an alpha channel, the problem is, i can only create an alpha channel from one of the R,G or B channels, so it comes out a shade of grey. i cant get the alpha channel to be in colour.

i have the image, i resize to 128x128, i create the alpha channel by copying one of the single colour channels.
i save as a BMP file. when i open the BMP file, i select the alpha channel and l click image-adjustments-threshold, and change to 255. this turns the other channels black. i save as a DDS DXT3 and then try in game. the image works, but i cant get the colours. can someone help?
 
worked it out, in the end it was so simple, i blacked out the alpha channel, before i was blacking out the RGB channels.
