TXD Workshop alpha problem

[DJS]

So basically whenever I try import a alpha into txd workshop it doesn't work, it just replaces the "image" image instead of the "alpha" one.

 

Any help?

[MrMateczko]

Make sure that the texture you're importing is TGA.

[DJS]

Is this a new thing? I have imported BMP files before as alphas but its been a while.

[MrMateczko]

It was always there, when I've encountered problems with alphas, I've switched to TGA, and everything was importing correctly. It's the safest choice.

Cool, will try it out. Probably due to windows 7. Worked fine on XP

 

Edit: Still doesnt work

The program works fine on Windows 7 for me.

I think you must import a texture with both image and alpha, and not just the alpha.

[DJS]

Tried that too, did you change any of the compatibility settings?

[MrMateczko]

No, I didn't. When I was changing textures in my SA, I simply grabbed a TGA from texture with alpha from one TXD file, imported that into other TXD file, and it worked fine.

[DJS]

Fixed it, got txd workshop 4.5.

 

Thanks for your help though!

[MrMateczko]

Oh I see. But there's a newer version of TXD Workshop than 4.5, there's 5.0 here if you want it:

I mean i got it working with the older version 4.5. The newer versions weren't working .

I apologise for the bump, but the question hasn't been answered, so my response will be useful for anyone who stumbles upon this thread in the future.

 

For the alpha to work it must be a 16-bit image (I used bmp).
