Transparency fail on the KS Editor Mod?
« on: March 20, 2010, 03:01:58 »
I'm using Looki's KS Editor Mod, and the transparency decided to break on me. I dunno why, but if I make a tileset from scratch, it won't transparencify on the KS Editor Mod. :< So this is both a help topic and a tileset release topic, 'cause I haven't released the latest (and final!) version publicly yet. :) The tileset in question is attached.

EDIT: Also, I tried the Patronizingly Simple Transparentizer, and it froze after I tried transparencifying it.

I'm not dead. Not entirely. And yes, I'm embarrassed by most of the posts I made here.

noob pumpkinbot can't transparency. Very nice tileset, I demand a great level from you with this!  :)
No, noob Level Editor Mod can't use transparency. :) I can do it in GraphicsGale and Windows even says it's transparent, but it usually has either a magenta, black, or white background.

And I just thought of using Iaza.com to transparencify it. *headdesk* Let's see if it'll work.

EDIT: Iaza made it transparent, but, for some reason, the LevEdMod won't recognize it at all. :<

Eh... your attachment isn't transprent, Pumpkinbot.
Both KS and the editor will either use the alpha channel, the PNG's transprent color or #ff00ff if there is none set.
But your image uses white as background.
I didn't change any of the related code..
I really don't know why it should be working in the first place.

*facepalm* I know it's not transparent. Yes, I've tried magenta 255,0,255, and it didn't work. :( I've tried setting the layer transparency to magenta, nothing. Frame transparency to magenta, nothing. Neither as transparency, nothing.

EDIT: Okay...I have no idea what I did, but I made it transparent. :P Whatever, I'll post the tileset in my tileset thread, if I can find it...
