Alpha Tile (Reforged)

[FiX_]

Hello,

How can i use the Alpha Tile in Reforged?

Thanks

You can't as of right now

There is a trigger that hides all terrain though, but that will still make your tiles invisible so it's essentially useless from a terraining perspective unless you're making a very unique type of terrain.

Replace the existing tile texture with a transparent one?

So i can use the old warcraft 3 terrain art path and instead of "alpha tile.blp" i use the "alpha tile.dds" ?

To be fair though I only tried in the Beta, so feel free to try in the released version.

Convert the alpha tile from blp to dds and make sure to keep the alpha channel. Then import it into your map with a HD flag and overwrite the tile path.

So, i convert the Tile with "BLP Lab v0.5.0" and changed the Path to:

TerrainArt\LordearonSummer\Lords_DirtGrass.dds

I tried SD and HD, no changes. Wrong Path?

Nah then it doesn't work.

I imported the alpha file 3 times,set hd and changed the path to this:

terrainart\lordaeronsummer\lords_rock_diffuse.dds
terrainart\lordaeronsummer\lords_rock_normal.dds
terrainart\lordaeronsummer\lords_rock_orm.dds

no alpha test

Noalpha | HIVE

This is wrong.

I'm on my phone now so I can't see too well but from that screenshot it looks like it's working?

I need to run some tests tomorrow then. If they have fixed the alpha issues then that's great.

You can't see "under" the tile. The tree dissappear in the ground and I want to see the full tree.

You're having the same issue I've been seeing and it's that the surface is just a reflection of the sky (which in of itself is also a neat trick). It most likely has to do with the ORM layer not being right because that's the one I least understand.

There must be a way to do this? They can`t remove something like this..

They can and they have. It works better now that you can actually see the skybox below. In the Beta it was just a plain white tile that looked horrendous. It's still useless in its current state though. If you want alpha tile I suggest you stick to classic AKA SD graphics...
