Almost newbie question...
« on: May 15, 2005, 05:49:15 AM »
OK, I know I saw a message talking about editing the alpha bmp to allow lvts to enter rivers. For the life of me I can't find it now. Any ideas where it is?

And here's the question I think I know the answer to. Is the terrain tile blending hard coded into the TE? Or, is there an alpha bmp I'm unaware of?

I'm hoping it's not hard coded.

You're right, I can't find the thread either.  It was about running PT boats up the river and turning the engine off to pass under bridges.

I think it was Pokie or Nutz who posted an alpha bit map which allowed it.

The deletion of the thread makes me wonder if it stepped on htc toes.

That's the one! Thanks.

Now on to the hardcoded tile blending question. :)
