Dts .tif TGE compatible?

by Tyler Slabinski · in Technical Issues · 05/26/2008 (2:20 pm) · 8 replies

I was wondering if .tif textures on .dts objects are supported in TGE. I know that .png and .jpg are supported, but those .jpg won't support alpha, and .png keeps messing up.

I don't believe TIFF is a supported format. What's messing up with your PNG's?

I don't know, but it keeps showing up a bunch of extra pixels in my alpha space... BMP does the same thing.

What are you using to create the PNG's?

I am guessing that PNGs take everyone either 100% alpha or 0% alpha, because that is what it seems to be happening...

You should make sure to use SuperPNG with Photoshop. I also like to recommend OptiPNG for the Mac (or Windows) to get rid of any header junk that a lot of programs generate.

Photoshop's PNG implementation was a bit sketchy back in the day, and I'm not sure if it's gotten any better. SuperPNG was a plugin that created PNG's correctly.
