Hiya

just thought I'd make these a having only one conback transparent spoils the other mods, i have just made some conbacks for the following

BaseQ2
Rogue
Xatrix
Zaero

all at about 0.6 Transparent

i'll attach them as a zip its about 200kb

i made them for r1q2 and also used pngcrush on them to make them as small as possable, place each pak in the correct folders
let me know if they work on other clients.

I may be wrong about this, but I remember (using my Win98 HDD) testing an executable that made the console translucent according to a variable (1 was normal, 0 was invisible). We didn't need specific .pcx or .tga files, and I think that's incredibly inefficient. Is there a reason the technique used in R1Q2 requires completely different files?

Lemonzest · « **Reply #3 on:** April 25, 2006, 02:33:26 AM »

well in most clients there's a cvar called gl_conalpha or something that accepts a range of 0-1 0 being invisible, 1 being fully visible and anything in between such as 0.5 meaning transparent , r1ch can be a little odd when it comes to things like this and the only way you can make the console transparent in r1q2 is by using a png or tga with the alpha channel set to the level of transparency you want, annoying i know. i knocked these up in about 2 mins flat because i was bored using free tools, XnView/Paint.net and Pngcrush lol. glad you like them.

R1CH · « **Reply #13 on:** April 30, 2006, 11:56:47 PM »

That's because there isn't a changelog for R1GL
