Loading Sprites

In searching, I found that this topic is covered in various manners... but nothing had the answer I'm looking for.

See, I'm trying to load a new gun sprite I made (its not that great, I just want to get this working). So, I loaded it into my pwad as a png file, and made sure to stick it between "SS_START" and "SS_END". I have its background set to cyan (0,255,255), but for some reason its background still shows up in-game, resulting in a big stupid box around the gun.

What am I doing wrong?

.PNG + cyan background = you're doing it wrong.

When you use the .PNG format, you must use a real transparency for the background, only when you use the Doom Patch format do you set a cyan background. (BTW, the cyan background depends on the wad editor you're using, not all have it as cyan).

ah, well, I think I can manage that then...

Yep, it worked. Thanks!

I detect a hint of 4chan everywhere these days. It's kind of getting on my nerves
