Make sure you are using an image editing application that supports alpha channels. (Paint doesn't support it, try a free image editing application like GIMP or Paint.NET)
First remove the white background from your image. Then add an alpha layer in your Red, Green, Blue channels and remove the background that should be transparent from the alpha
(keep the rest that should be non-transparent inside the alpha layer. Usually this is a red layer on top of your original image.)

Now you should be abled to save that file as tga (which supports alpha channels), and convert it to blp. In order to have transparency in your image.

If you can't find out how to use alpha layers in the application that you're using, google it

lol i dont talked about alpha and transparency....

it is a 171x21 pixel image, i dont need alpha or anything like that, just it is square in game, when it must be rect (like tube) so my problem is this image look dumb in game (game show the image but make bigger crap from it)

bump....

still i dont understand why scretch a image if i seted size same than the image size :/

why i cant set the size correctly?

local image Img = CreateImage(udg_Background,width, height, 0, x,y, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1)

if width =10 and height =10 still it around 100x100 or bigger or if i make width = 16 and height = 128 still same size than with 10,10

You need to leave some pixels free in the sides of any image( with alpha channel ). To see what I mean:

Hidden

I don't really know why, but if the image has borders you will get this error, to avoid it, leave in any image like 2px-5px in the sides.

Also, ubersplat has the same error.

I fixed your image, you should get this in-game:

Hidden

New size:

call CreateImage( "Textures\\New1.tga", 177, 18, 0, 0, 0, 10, 0, 0, 0, 2 )

lol now aint better :/ check pls the screenshot

have huge border what also not transparent (something like gray), size is far less than it must be etc

local image img = CreateImage("Black.tga", 200, 1000, 1, 0, 0,1, 0, 0, 0, 1)
call SetImageRenderAlways(img, true)
call SetImageColor(img, 255, 255, 255, 200)

My mistake, try it now. Anyway, small textures are distorted when you scale up. So, if you want the side without the blur, you need a big picture.

I imported all the fixed textures.
