Hey

If I set image floor in a room to a .png file, and it has some transparent parts, it works ok for a while, normal floor image is used "below" transparent parts.

Now exit editor, DROD, and run it again. After launching editor again, first select any room (without editing), then the one with partially transparent .png.

Messy, isn't it ? Previously selected room should be visible on transparent parts of image floor.

If you test the room F5, it works normally and .png looks as it should.

The graphics engine doesn't render normal floor underneath the special image floor, so the result of using partially transparent images is undefined.

Take a screenshot of your room without the picture, and put it underneath your picture in the Gimp. Crop, save and re-import.

I'm going to use this technique to do a glass wall.

O_o
Ok how the Heck are you going to make the image floor as a "glass wall" stop people? Because any type of 'Wall' is sposped to stop a person from moving.
