Adding Alpha Channel

[DiggetyBo]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to add an slpha channel to this one texture called Energy1.blp

Basically I need an alpha channel on it so I can create a black colored particle emitter using Energy1.blp as a texture. (ortherwise in magos, and in game it doesn't display properly)

The root of the problem is this texture doesn't have an alpha channel. I tried using BLP lab to add one using the 'Add opaque alpha channel' but that did not work either.

Has anyone tried tinkering with alphas?

Let me know if anything comes to mind.

Thanks for reading

btw i attached Energy1.blp in this thread for easier reference:

Best way to tinker with Alpha channels is to use Photoshop or.. not sure with this one since I haven't used this... GIMP.
