Tile help

Post by Ed the Monkey »

yeah...so i'm working on these tiles, right? and i end up exporting the tile to an immage file that i edit with photoshop, i get it the way i want, and i import it back into RedViewer, but i still have two problems... first i don't know how to make the background invisable, and second the bounding box appears at the TOP of the Zar I imported to be the tile. a bounding box at the top of something really isn't very useful... so are there any texts I could get to help with this, or is there anyone who could explain?

Make sure you use a transparant layer in photoshop.

As for the bounding box, use the click on the "Edit offset - Picture" option and then click to center the bounding box on your tile. Then to touch up and center it in an easyer fashion, simply use the arrow keys on the keyboard...

I just verified that the ZAR converter supplied in the editor actually makes the transparancy, and it does.
