A default File's properties appear on working skin in viewer.

I've been practicing on the Macchi 205 skin, but cant get rid of some default file's art on skin. A BMP. file named C205Art and text file C205ART_a in the default folder that are absent in the working folder. When working skin is loaded in skin viewer application, the default's art work is present on working skin. Deleting file in default folder has not worked, and I haven't been successful in manipulating files alpha value where it doesn't show. I've made copy of file into working folder and tried to change alpha value but still no success. Any ideas?

I don't seem to recall having that problem when I did my 205 skins.

However, it is definitely doing it now. Perhaps a recent bug, introduced in a later patch?

I did get a workaround running, though:

You don't need to play with the file's alpha layer in the .txt, just leave that as-is. Right-click the art bitmap, hit "edit" (which will load MS paint), eye dropper the purple alpha color, then select all (ctrl a) then delete, then color fill the purple you previously selected back into the area. Save file, close, and you're good to go.

I say MS Paint because it won't re-save the indexing of the colors, and you can leave the alpha txt file as-is. If you open in photoshop, and it re-saves the color indexing, you have to find out which color is the right one to enter into the .txt and my way just avoids that.

Thanks Krusty, I appreciate your assistance. Working as planned.
