Nelson,

I had the same problem with a program I'm working on. When you make an
object translucent, you can't just set the MSB and go on your merry
way. The transparent parts of the object need to have a color value of
0x0000, not 0x8000. This was easy for me to fix because I don't use
TIM files. Instead I use my own IMG files created with TGA2IMG. These
files contain the C source for the image and are included in the
build. All I needed to do was edit the bad data and recompile. I've
got to remember to fix the converter sometime soon.
