I got a pretty image but it either shows the background or the foreground hiding the background. Any help would be greatly appreciated. __________________ If it aint broke mod it. --Cut, paste,spellcheck,cut,paste :) -- Last edited by Chadoz : 08-27-2002 at 11:55 PM.

Not sure what you mean here, your window_pieces04.tga is fine, and the alpha layer is properly done. There shouldn't be any problem using that compass...

Thanks a bunch ) Edit: To be more specific, my problem is... I can see the compass normally, but if I mouse over the "Compass" wheel disapears and all you see is black, with the compass "Pointer". Ideally I'd like the compass to be much more brighter than it normally is. Edit Edit: Now, you can kinda see it, if you set the alpha's to 60/60, but ideally I want a nice bright compass when I mouse over Last edited by Lythander : 08-28-2002 at 06:41 PM.

Meaning, the Alpha channel or transparency is not saved correctly or such. You can test this by using the default compass then switching back. Send me a PM I'd be glad to help if needed. You can send me your window_pieces04.tga file that has problem if possible __________________ -=Forget Fear - Forget Death - Fight Strong and Honorably=- -=EQ PureBlood Heroins=- Elusive Nomads of Norrath
