I have another problem i made a few hud objects

Just a few for reference all pictures are made the same. Anyway the image shows great but the parts that i want to be transparent just aren't, why. And is there a way i can re-size them by just scripting it in like
framescale = #

No offense but might I suggest finding an artist? As far as hud objects I never got them to work because the coordinates of the screen in RF were only roughly defined in the eBook and I've never seen anything else about it...

If I remember correctly, frames are drawn on top of indicators, so you will have to make those areas transparent in the frame image (i.e. black in the alpha image). Or do you mean there's no transparency at all? Is the alpha image specified correctly? What format are the images (bmp, 24bit, ...) ?

There's currently no way to resize the HUD images in game.

I suggest reading the section about the HUD.ini file in the RF manual.
