did you follow the part of the tut concerning alpha channels? thats v important. And be sure to click the "transparenc check box before saving as tga. that should work

haha nice sig cpt that songs ace.

is there a way i can put multiple layers on to one layer? :?

You can link layers together: When layers are linked, you can move their contents together. You can also copy, paste, merge, and apply transformations to all linked layers simultaneously. At some point, you may want to edit or move one linked layer. You can simply unlink the layers to work on one layer at a time.

nope, theres a proper way, i just found it. ctrl+shift+alt+e
