Sprites

HL1 sprites are in a black 2d square, I want to know how to remove it...

Set render mode to "additive".

For FX Amount, you can choose from 1 to 255. If you want all the non-black areas totally solid, use 255. If it's for a glow around a light or something, set it around 30-50 so it's transparent.

Here are some custom light flare sprites if you want something snazzier than the default HL sprites:

Thanks...
