im having an old issue with saving the alpha channel in tga files with photoshop 7..

seems to me, i remember a tga alpha channel file format plugin...

ive searched for it and found nada..

the alpha channel is there when i open a tga file.. but if i save it.. though the alpha cha nel remains in the tga.. the shader shows black in game.

Sounds more like a material issue then if the alpha channel is correct and in the texture (in Photoshop)?

Post either the material and/or the texture .tga

Some previous photoshop versions has problems TGAs, it's fixed in the newer ones.

Should be a fix for 7 around adobes site...

I'm okay with international language people who are trying their best to form proper spelling and sentence structure but making honest mistakes, but you are being cryptic on purpose and it's getting tiring. To be quite frank, start typing with real words from an English dictionary or you will lose your privilege to post here. Yes, posting here is a privilege, not a right. Don't say I didn't warn you.

BTW, see here (first link from the top):

and yet another threat for being unique

obsidian.. you want to stop threatening me and using the synonym warning.. its the same thing..

one type of threat is the same as another type of threat.

A threat is a serious thing.. you want to go down the path of discrimination with me? REALLY?

@skinNCNmaster: Being unique is one thing...but dang, reading your posts is like trying to decipher some ancient code with no reference point.

Being unique is great. I've seen screens of your maps; it is your work makes you unique.

Posting made up words is just kind of annoying imho.

all words are made up. reading anyones posts is that way. the difference between me and you is i let people post ANYTHING. and i wont restrict them from INVENTING

LANGUAGE IS CODE.
MATH.

"YOU KNOW="UNO"=UNE+O=10

when we ask "you know?" we are sending a slang "TEN?" out and asking to confirm touque on firm.

....YOU ..K NOW.

or "uec a now" (uec is cue spelled reversed, or a method of inverting the one into a zero

words define ones and zeros, lights and darks, ups and downs, and dont try to tell me they dont, because the conversations humanity is gibberishing about is a rating methodology.

you rate. rate me rate you rate actions rate objects.

its called -jur(yu

and dependant upon the jur if it is in-jur or purr-jur[re

youguys purr-jur for few things...
and you in-jur many things.

claiming to be in the right you behavin in the wrong

mathematically, we argue with sloppy fractions. words saying up or down.
you guys sure do come to me with a lot of down deliveries...

the difficult thing with humans is they shout and yell and are adamant about just ice and rites, but wont examine the core structure of language itself tool earn about root natural language..

we didnt make these words.... they made us.

What he said isn't a threat. A threat would be of someone telling you that they are going to shot you, or something of that nature.
Trying to be cryptic with everything you say when posting to people in here doesn't help matters, especially if someone is trying to get help with a problem and you come across with "u-singing" "or " FAH *cough "U" doH "P" bitch". Looking at that, someone could answer that first one with, "Nope, I'm not singing".
There are numerous posts from you with stuff like that in it. If you want to help people with mapping and general help items, it would really help them if you were typing/talking in ways that would actually help them and not confuse them.

I've made a comment about trying to figure out what it is you were talking about in a different thread, and I made it because it is tiring to try and figure out what in the hell you are saying. I don't find it amusing to have to go through and try to decrypt your sentences.

Edit: I also want to point out that getting shitty with mods is not a way for you to keep your privilege of posting here. You got mouthy when I posted a general warning to all that were derailing and trolling in Nouren's thread and you have done it in other threads. If you want to flame someone or go on a banter with somebody, do it in the void.

What the fuck?! I am part of the moderation team, moderating posts and trying to keep things in line and appropriate for this forum. That is what I am supposed to do as a mod. If you have a problem with the mods here and think that it is a right to post here, go else where. It is a privilege to post here, not a right.

moder is a slang way to say mother
(french dont pronounce th, it becomes a d (d is the erect penis symbol)
mother-rating us is fun isnt is mom?

was it the celestine prophecy which so aptly defined a few of the "control behaviors" which are much truer roots digging into all sorts of places, like this one for example. Be honest with yourselves. I'm honest with you.
