This is a sprite I made, but the background of the tank hull turns black even though it is transparent... Does anyone know why?
Uploading a screenshot along with the sprite I created.

The size of the modded graphics are different in this other example.

96x173 pixels for the hull.

90x310 for the turret.

However in your example both are 50x200.

Thanks for the help, but unfortunately changing the size of the sprite didn't solve the problem...
I'm still trying to solve the sprite error.

I think it's an indexed image. Perhaps that's why it doesn't work properly in the game.

If so, how can I solve this problem? Could a solution be to add some different colors to the outside of the tank sprite?

In Gimp I select Image > Mode, and there are the options RGB, Grayscale, and Indexed. You can try to use RGB instead of Indexed, which seems to be enabled in your image.

I use Paint.NET instead of Gimp. I'll trying to find out if there is a similar function. Thanks for help!
