I'm having a problem thought and I don't understand the explanation: Code: The error message: Malfunction W1553 ta where ID = : Can't create alpha Manual: Warning W1553 - Can't create alpha The texture is static and can't be converted to an overlay or alpha texture.

They don't become transparent and just stay black. Well I tried bmap_load using a test script and it works fine. So i got a nasty bug some where in my script -_-'... I'm so screwed.
