Thanks for those codes cx I tried them, but now it's white instead of black xD
And I gotta correct myself, I'm not trying to get the cursor transparent, but the big arrow that appears whenever you click somewhere with your cursor. I just thought it's the same because the texture files of that arrow are called cursorTex.
Is it even possible to make it transparent?

Mine is currently, transparent, so I'm not sure why yours isn't working...
it is a .png and you changed it to a .png in the code, yes?

I mean, if you want proof it's possible, here's me clicking to move with no cursor showing up:

So it must be something on your end...

EDIT:
Are you certain you've made actual transparency? GIMP works differently than SAI for this. By default, jpgs are flattened and will erase to white, yeah?


So did you add transparency to the layer in order to erase the image to the actual transparency squares, not white?

It finally works!
I did the same on my Windows pc, and there it worked. I'm not sure but I guess mac somehow messed up the material codes before.
Thanks for all that effort Phloxenfree, it helped a lot! :3

Locking this up for you as you have found how to get it working. Have fun with it!

If you define yourself by the power to take life, the desire to dominate, to possess… then you have nothing.
