We're sure you've seen them! Windows that allow you to look "through" the walls of your buiding. All the "masters" use them once in a while. We tell you how to make them!

First you need to select the size of your paint. It has to be a square and a multiple of 16. Sixteen pixels is equal to one square in BAT. This should then be painted with RGB (255,0,255) , the bright pink colour in paint. After that has been done, you can finsih your decal off as a window, a door, a skylight, a greenhouse.....

Now to save it. Save the decal as a bitmap (.bmp) in your /paints folder. If you save it as a .tga it will NOT work. These decals can be used just like any other decal.
