New Marble Textures

by Eric Litton · in Marble Blast · 01/30/2003 (2:50 pm) · 16 replies

Hello,

I really like the rainbow colored marble in the game, however, since I cant make levels, currently, I decided to make some textures for the marble. :)
There are some basic patterns, and some more complex stuff.

To change the marble texture Open up the Marbles folder, then the data folder, then the shapes folder, then the balls folder and replace the "base.marble.png" file with one of the ones with similiar name in the zip.
On a Mac you need to control click the program, choose "show package contents" and then follow the instructions above.

:)

    I just tried fire and sun, moon, stars. I noticed that they look a little dull when you're just seeing a preview image, but on the marble they look really cool.

    Thanks, that helped. You see, I tried going into Appleworks to draw one myself, but it got twisted up on the marble so I had to ask you.

    Please make a new topic next time rather than bumping a 4 year old topic..

    But, open the image in preview and click the instant alpha button, make the alpha channel between 80% and 100%, I think full alpha is best (meaning solid, no transparency in game).
