Writing minitutorial (maybe it would help another idiot like me):crazyboy:

How to Export FSH Files to an image with transparency...

GFXPAK was designed to export fsh files with transparency for FIFA 2002. So it won't work with some FIFA 2004 files... here's what i did...

1. Open the desired fsh file to have transparency with fsh tool...
2. Extract the image and the alpha channel image.
3. Then open fshed and create a new file.
3. Add a new object (object > add new > object...) a small screen wil appear...
4. Click on "new" in the graphic object section. Choose the image you want to import (here we will choose the exported image with fsh tool)
5. Type a name for the object in object name section. (this name could be anything ej. ronaldinho)
6. Save it as "yourfile.fsh" (dont forget to put the extension! [.fsh])
7. Go and open the saved fsh file with fshtool.
8. Go to the created directory and replace the alpha image contained in the dir with the one created in step 2.
9. Make sure both images are the same size and import them to the fsh file with fshtool. (open index.fsh with fsh tool)
10. Now export the transparent image with gfxpak and a bat file, edit the .bat file with this is the code:

gfxpak.exe -e XXX.FSH 0000 0000.PNG

Where XXX goes the name of the fsh file.
Where 0000 goes the name of image inside the fsh file. (the name would be "ronaldinho" as i said in step 5)

11. Save it and run it. It's supposed that a png image will appear with the transparency.

I hope you understand because my english is not the best.

Sometimes the step 10 would work directly on a fifa 2004 fsh file, but most times not. So before doing this only do the step 10.

If somewhere exists a program that exports fsh images with transparency.... i just wasted my time:(

If someday you get to use this method for a fiel or patch please give some credits :p
