directx10 does not support tga files even though directx9 did
is the a good converter that will convert the tga to a file format that directx10 can use and still keep the parts that are transparret.
i have tryed converting it and i have not had any succsess so far
tga file format and directx 10
The DX SDK still comes with the texconv tool, which can convert to DDS on the command line. There's also the DirectX Texture Tool which has a GUI, if you prefer that. There's also ImageMagick, which can convert pretty much anything.
I'd personally suggest ditching TGA, period, and moving to DDS, as it's a much better overall 'game' format. MJP mentions the official texture conversion tool, but there are also excellent libraries out there for texture cooking/compression that may also be worth looking into depending on the needs of your renderer. nvtt, or the nVidia Texture Tools, comes personally recommended.
You can load TGAs but you need to write your own loader. That means loading and unpacking the raw binary data and calling CreateTexture2D and CreateShaderResourceView directly instead of relying on the D3DX helpers.
If that sounds like too much work at the moment then do like the other's said and use a different format.
