[Potatoman]

I've begun a MOD to change Tien'Chi into a nation loosely based on feudal Japan; Samurai, ninjas, Oni, I'm sure you know the theme.

Anyhow, I've been working on forging some nice .tga sprites for my men, but I've run into a rather annoying problem. I can't figure out how to give my men shadows, outside of just coloring them in with RGB=0 0 1 almost-black. I've been using the hoburg mod as my guide for most of this, and the units in that seem to use a peculiar shade of purple which, when cut & pasted, dissapears and has no effect in game.

Anyone know a way around this (aside from vampirism, that is)?
