Re: 2024 Game Updates
 

I was fourteen when I first started playing this game. I turned twenty-nine last week so I'm not nearly as old as everyone else, but it feels kinda bittersweet seeing the game finally wrapping up. It's been a long, LONG ride, but it's been real fun. I hope this game continues to get enjoyed far into the future -- it scratches an itch nothing else can.

I can't assume everyone looks at the MBT Thread so, I've "cut and pasted" Dons latest post from there to here knowing most are focused on this Thread at this time.

I wish the news could be better...

From MBT Thread Post #1935

"Guys

Dear Don;

Sorry for taking so long to get around to this. I've been a bit distracted/busy.

How are you holding up?

Are you trying to make a transparent square or a pink-ish square?

There is a specific color that is designated "transparent" by the game code; it's pink-ish in color.

The exact value of this transparent color is:

#ffe6e6 (HTML code to cut and paste into Paint Shop Pro Color Picker)

R: 255
G: 230
B: 230
H: 255
S: 255
L: 243

ANYTHING THIS COLOR WILL BE TREATED AS TRANSPARENT (BLANK) BY THE GAME CODE

If you're trying to add a transparent bitmap into an existing SHP file using SHPEd, I can walk you through this process tomorrow.
