PNGShadows...

Guest_Yoggy_*

I have been making Anira (a game Ledorax started and then gave to me) and when I test the game, all the png images with shadows act strangely (they fail to be transparent on the about 20 left most pixels)

Sorry I can't post a link to screenshot, I must do some stuff before my mom strangles me.

Maybe post a screenshot later.

I had a similar problem, but instead of the transparency being off, everything turned about 20 shades darker.

i'd be willing to take a look at one of the actual files, next time i'm online send me one of the files ( tree or the house )...

(by the by the 20 shades deal tends to be a result of certain versions on photoshop, namely photoshop 5.)

off hand i figured there might be an issue with the alpha channel...not the case, everything was in order.

leddy slid me a copy of the tree graphic, i put it into a test game...my results: (url="http://"http://www.ellrx.com/trees.png")http://www.ellrx.com/trees.png(/url)

i created 2 additional images,
image 2: duplicated, opened in GraphicConvertor--not modified
image 3: copied from image 2, new from clipboard, saved as png graphic.

There is no difference between the 3.
( with the exception that the third tree, is 20% smaller bitwise )

final:
first time i've ever seen this scenario, i was unable to reproduce this error, even on relaunching, there' nothing unusual about the graphics, or the gaame i tested them in. :: shrug ::
