Hi frillen, Firstly thank you for the tutorial. Secondly, I was loading up Home Crafter Plus after making the tiles and the tiles shows up the original image (solid) even though they were transparent when I was using them. Just wondering if that was meant to happen? Cheers Luthien |
Sometimes Homecrafter will show them non transparent even though they're transparent when used in the game.
I believe that if the game or Homecrafter+ creates the thumbnails for the floor before you add the transparancy, they will always show them as non-transparent, however if you've done it correctly the transparancy will still work when they're used in the game.
A little warning though: If you edit a transparent tile in Homecrafter+ they will loose the transparancy, besides that they should work just fine!

Thanks for that. 
It does work perfectly except for the tumbnail not reflexing the transparency. Is there any way to create a tumbnail to show the transparency?

If you mean creating your own thumbnails, no that's not possible, but you can force the game to recreate the thumbnails by deleting the following file:
My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Thumbnails\BuildModeThumbnails.package
The next time you start your game it will automatically recreate the thumbnails so they will reflect changes made to textures from within SimPE
The thumbnails in Homecrafter+ will still not show the transparancy, but they will in the game build menu!

Archeron if you look at part 2 of my tutorial, you should be able to do it, it's just a matter of setting the alpha transparancy in your image to a suitable level and leaving your frame solid

Thx... I've tried it... But it got a black transparency... Well, it's at least semi-transparent... I want it like the image... But I don't know how to change the alpha transparency, and create a solid moldure... Sorry, but I'm new to it...Should be easier if you tell me how, but I'll see if i can try it for myself anyway...
EDIT: Alright, Thx, I've got something as nearly as i wanted, i've setted the alpha to grey... It's transparent at the middle, and the moldure is now white...

You will need a guid for the floor tiles to avoid conflicts!
A simple solution would be to ask if someone will clone a certain amount of floor tiles for you.
All other settings in floor tiles can be changed from SimPE
