Removing Terrain

[LazyCoder]

Hi, I played this one map called Peppar's Chess or something like that, and in the map there is no terrain (just a chessboard). I don't mean it's flat, I mean it's just gone! So you can see through to the sky layer.

In order to do this, I think you can make a tileset that is 100% transparent.

Make a 1x1 tile with 100% transparency. I assume that's what they did (I've seen the map you're talking about, by the way)

EDIT: Blarg, donut beat me to it.

What do you mean?

Do you mean make an image to replace the tile images except have the image be 100% transparent? That doesn't work.

EDIT: Figured it out. You gotta take one of the terrain doodads (I chose ruined ground 4x4) and set it's model file to NONE.

Yes it does. I've done it several times, as have many other people.

Well huh. That's odd. I've never managed to get alpha channels to work. Oh well. Now I've got photoshop.
