your image needs to go in hlthmana.dc6 to be a bubble... but the girl must go in cntrlpanel.dc6

so if i understand correctly, the red "life" part of this image

Image

goes into hlthmana.dc6, while the girl and glass orb around the "life" go into the cntrlpanel.dc6 ?

yes, the bubble part goes in hltmana.dc6 and the decoration around it in 800ctrlpnl7.dc6
If you want to some graphic to go over the red, it will be in overlap.dc6 I think.

That is a very nice orb btw. Is it your work?

Also, off-topic, but what version are you using? because I'm wondering on what version you use that high resolution mod.

i use version 1.12 and i also use multires that high resolution mod.

also, that orb is from another game. and the orb and lady around the orb is one image. so how would i break it up?

edit: i managed to remove the red from the lady.

now i just need to find a way to make the red bubble.

well, it's all about making them the good size. If they aren't aligned right, you have to play with the offsets. offsets are easy to change if you use DC6Creator.

Hold on lets slow down here...

1. If that picture is only 1 image, then you do not need to use overlap.dc6.
2. Mask out the red "orb" and put it in hlthmana.dc6, along with its corresponding mana/poison bubbles (purple orb is unused)
3. The Lady and the other border will go in cntrlpnl.dc6 or 800cntrlpnl.dc6 which ever one you use.

Clarifications:
Since this is 1 image, and not 2, Your orb is not a *full* sphere. Adding an overlap.dc6 is completely pointless.
Just put what you have for the orbs in the .dc6 as they are. Also not forgetting to adjust the x/y offsets, as they will not line up automatically.

Hope this helps you.

What you see on your life orb is part of the already existing overlap.dc6
just open that, delete the frames that are there and insert some blank ones.

also make sure that anything that is NOT part of the orb is black (#000000)
