Kirby: Planet Robobot Ripping

[Random Talking Bush]

I figured it would be weird like that. How does one split the channels, though? I've never been able to figure that out.

Reason being is because many of the textures, even with removed alpha channel, simply have obtrusive black spots all over them rather than actual colors. It's like this for almost all I'm trying to get, such as President Haltmann, Susie, their mechs, Dark Matter...

Also the model of Taranza in Triple Deluxe had a fully blank texture that just defaulted to black no matter what I did. Can someone walk me through this process so I can get the actual textures?

Try using Noesis to convert the unmodified PNGs into TGAs, I find those much easier to work with when I need to split the alpha channels into separate textures (like with my Pokémon X/Y rips). Either that, or convert those to BMPs since the alpha channel is removed for those, and then you can extract the transparency from the PNG afterwards.
