I am somewhat embarrassed to ask this, but here goes. :surrender:
I need a TGA making for the basic tee marker but with the color dark green

(this is a JPG export of my XCF file,) i.e. a sphere that is green in a TGA that is 32x32.
I have spent more than an hour with GIMP trying to make it but when I place the TGA" file in APCD and load it into Links, there are white lines around the circle.
I would appreciate it if a kind sole could PM me with the TGA attached. (I don't really want to spend a lot of time making 180 3D tee markers
Thank you
Ian

Hi Ian...

If all you want are different colored tee markers just like the round ones in the APCD, you can change them to CUSTOM colors in the APCD.
Open the course in the APCD and at the top menu select EDIT and then COURSE PROPERTIES. Next follow the instructions in the picture...

Dan's solution ought to conclude this topic, however just for science I will pitch in that I have encountered some weird and hard-to-explain alpha channel problems similar to what you describe Ian, and I've reached the conclusion that sometimes tga files just act weird, at least within APCD, and that the solution is to delete the alpha channel and remake it from scratch. With my panorama for example I know for a fact that I remade the alpha channel to EXACTLY IDENTICAL state as the one I deleted, and it somehow got rid of the white border. Very weird.

Danny,
Now I am totally embarrassed! :oops:
Thank you. :tiphat:

Adelade,
Thanks for those words, but I think in my case it is just my inability to use GIMP.
