I do know that the faction "Zulu" in Harshlands already has one. Looks kind of like a demon ghost thingie. That's the only one I've seen so far.[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]0

Well that was the word on the forums before the latest patches... and they actually implemented it. Anyways, doesn't matter...Vinat - Sanctuary wrote: »i really wish they didnt add this feature. there are a few guilds on my server already with it and i cringe when i see them. morir with a stupid skull icon, some other guild with some red garbage. i really dont know why people think this stuff looks good. it's just clutter, and honestly, makes the game look low-class. kind of like a flea market on some narrow side street.
Some icons actually look nice... I love ours, and the default icon is lame...

For people not in the know with BMP formats and transparencies using a BMP format the RGB color code for a BMP transparency is 255, 0, 255. AKA "Magic Pink"
as for transparencies using a Alpha channel on a BMP format, that is not able to be processed. the transparent color is what I listed above. Most if not all image software will throw out the alpha channel upon saving the file as a BMP. (for most game formats, the "Magic Pink" color is whats always been a BMP transparency color though it usually leaves "hard" edges on the images)
Save as what? 256 Color .BMP or what?Leader of Letum

In our server a lot of factions have been getting their logos already. We have quite a few factions with logos, from TW factions and to smaller, never heard of factions (which I do find amusing to be perfectly honest).
But I am interested in one thing. It was repeatedly stated that we are only to send 16x16 .bmp files, no alpha/magic pink layers added (and yes, magic pink leaves a harsh seam/edge anyway). Then again, one faction in our server has a logo with transparent layer. Now I'm a professional graphic designer so its no brainer to me on how to achieve that, but PWI stated they will not accept such logos.
Not that I mind them having it and I don't wish for it to be removed, but if one gets it - all should be able to if they have the knowledge on how to achieve that.
Our faction followed the instructions and so did everyone else, but this faction so I'm baffled. Can someone with a bit more knowledge explain this to me?

3)The image must be sent in as a 32 bit BMP format and must be 16x16 pixels with a RGB color mode.
4)If you would like it as a transparent back ground please make sure your Alpha Channel (Transparency Control Channel) is correct.
* add an Alpha-channel to your image (using Layer > Transparency > Add Alpha Channel)
* select the Eraser-tool Eraser Tool and erase what you'd like to get rid of or use the magic wand.
The image cannot be inappropriate and we reserve the right to refuse any pictures we deem inappropriate.

A lot has sent theirs before this was stated. Sigh. Is it too much to ask that everyone get the same info when its released?0 -
So I take it you need a program other than paint to achieve this alpha channel effect. My computer has nothing but games on it...maybe I should invest in some other programs?0

Bump to bring this back up. People who haven't got an icon and wish to submit one need to do so the 'cue' will fill up. Otherwise it may be months before anyone who has subbed since they last dumped the cue in the game will get their icons.

Has anyone done this and it work?
If you add the alpha channel what color should be the background. Some people are saying black, some white. b:surrender

I understand that this entire thread has been discussing the steps that need to be taken in order to submit our icons for our factions. However, what I have yet to see is where exactly that I need to go in order to submit this logo. I understand that I need a screenshot of my faction info, and that I need to submit the logo in a certain format and size. I have all of that. What I don't know, is where in the support section am I supposed to submit this? I assumed I would submit it through the ticket system, but under "Select the Problem" there isn't an option for submitting a faction icon. So, instead of giving the so called "instructions" that don't answer my question, can someone please tell me where I am supposed to go, or what option I am supposed to select?0

Here is my current problem with faction icons (logos).. the original leader of the lvl 3 faction i am a member of has left the game and put another in the leader position .. before he left he submitted an icon for the faction logo, as a trial, to see how it worked. He then chose another icon and submitted it 2 weeks later. As yet, the icon has not changed.
1. Are we stuck with the icon we have or can it be changed ..
2. Has it not been changed because leadership of the faction has changed ..3. Does the new leader need to re-submit the icon ticket request?
Help would be greatly appreciated concerning this issue.0 -

The rease it says 32-bit BMP format in step 3 above is that there are 8-bits for Red, Green, Blue, and the Alpha Channel so that's 8 bits/channel x 4 channels = 32 bits. In Adobe Photoshop CS your Alpha Channel is black where you want it to be transparent and white where you want the original image to show through (see 4th channel in the image below). I haven't submitted this yet, but I wanted to clear up that you CAN have an Alpha Channel in a BMP (just not a 24-bit, has to be 32-bit).
