sorry, I can't remember which post it is in but, i downloaded the overhang mod to help with collectibles.
unfortunately, either i did it wrong or there is a problem with the mod
when i replaced the overhang with the mod, all i got was a big white block.
needless to say i had to change it back.
thankfully i had backed up the images.

also i need to know how do i back up my game?
i thought i saw a post on that once, but now i cant find it.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
and honestly, i am not being lazy, my eyes are crossed from looking for the post

The information about backing up VV3 games is here.

The images in that mod (which is probably Tuna Puzzler's mod) are fine. I've checked them out myself. Are you sure you didn't examine the file in an image editing program that doesn't support transparency and accidentally save it? That would cause it to be a white rectangle. Downloading it again and copying it directly to the images folder should fix that problem.

thank you lady
i tried again, and didn't preview it in anything and again its just white
the 2 map graphics are fine but the tree_overhang.png is just a white square
i just don't know what is going wrong
oh well, guess i will just keep my overhang
many thanks for the link for the backup

That's very strange. It sound like your system is not downloading and saving the file in its original form.

I downloaded the overhang,and a bunch of other mods.They all worked just fine.I had never done anything like that before,but whatever i did worked.I love them all.

I'm curious, if patricia is still paying attention; is it a big white square AROUND a modified image? This would be what I'd expect if the image were re-saved without transparency support. Or is it a white square, period, no image at all, just big white block o' doom?

I assumed that it was all white, since one of the images (the one for the tree overhang) is completely transparent. It would be all white if transparency was not preserved.

you assume correctly lady
it just put a big white square into the overhang area
"just big white block o' doom" LOL
i never did figure out the problem

Why don't you try the mod again, following the instructions in this post exactly, and tell me if you still have the same problem.

i will try again, don't know if it will be today
time to get busy

the same thing happened lady
i got a screen shot
the first 2 images are jpg images
the tree overhand is a png image
i wonder if that makes a difference
you see, its just a white block
oh and i followed the instructions to a "T"

That view looks fine. Notice that in the thumbnail it appears white against the white background but in the large version of the image at the top it appears pale blue? That shows it is transparent. Or at least it should be ...

That's exactly what it should look like. The transparency is fine, and it's appearing as ... well... NOTHING! Which is what it should show up as. When you copy it to the game's images folder, it will let the background show through there, too, which is exactly the point!

thanks, i will try again
i appreciate your patience
