Is there a way to enable masking of bmps or pngs so that a certain color is transparent? IE can I make color slot 0 be the mask color so that if I place the bmp/png on a map, turfs underneath will show through?

Hrm. Well I use Adobe Photoshop and have tried saving png's with transparency, but the "transparent" shows up white in DM and DS. Have you gotten the transparency to work when using a png on a map?

I haven't tried using PNG on a map, but supposedly this should work just fine. Have you verified that the PNG file is actually transparent? Lummox JR | |

PNGs have transparency support built in; BMPs do not. Last I knew, 192,192,192 was still the color representing transparency in BMPs in BYOND, though PNG files don't have this behavior because they can be given transparency in an image editor.
