Transparency RGB Value

[Snake323CO]

Hi…
I’m sure this has been asked and answered, but please indulge me.
What is the transparency RGB value for BMS? I’ve done a custom .dds fie, and was informed the transparency value was 0,0,0, including the alpha channel. However, all this is doing is creating a black surface…not transparent.
Thanks a ton

For things in the UI, e.g. squadron patches TGA’s, the colour that becomes transparent is pink:
RGB: 255 - 0 - 255
Code: ff00ff

Not experienced in skinning etc., so don’t know if there’s a special value there, but it would seem easier to me to just not paint there, and remove the background?
