Addon Question

[Vormex]

I'm seeing a lot of videos on youtube with transparent "glass" like roads on which the ships ride on. I was wondering ow would I be able to get this effect as well? I've tried adding my own sky sphere but the road still remains white,black,grey.

It's been asked a few times: http://www.audio-surf.com/forum/index.php/topic,6046.0.html
There's just certain textures that need changing to completely transparent for it.

[Vormex]

Which texture is that?

If you use YAAP (Yet Another Audiosurf Player (search)) you can turn the roads off, which gives the glass road effect.

Thanks the road is transparent now but is it possible to get rid of the part under the road? So I'm only riding on the glass like road.

Here's a picture to explain what I mean

You'll want to set a transparent PNG file as the road texture. You can do this by replacing the texture manually or using a program such as ASTMan (Audiosurf texture manager)

I'd like to replace it manually but which one of the textures is the road you're talking about? Thanks again.

Code: [Select]

%Steam%\SteamApps\common\audiosurf\engine\textures\ [cliff1-1.png|cliff1-2.png|cliff2-1.png|cliff2-2.png]
The game uses cliff1-1.png/cliff1-2.png for white and cliff2-1.png/cliff2-2.png for black.

Ok so I made the textures transparent using Photoshop...but I can still see the colored road Am I doing something wrong? Here's what I see after editing the cliff textures:

I want to get rid of the purple road under the track...

Am I doing something wrong?

In short: yes.

The way PS encodes 'transparency' Audiosurf doesn't like. Try Paint.net (this issue has been discusses a few times before, search if you want more info)

Hmm I used paint.net but now the bottom road is black and black throughout the entire song. Need your help once more

EDIT: The black road only shows in a white background but in the grey/black ones it is transparent. Why is that? Must've edited the cliff1-1, 1-2 wrongly. If its not too much could you just edit a transparent cliff1-1.png for me?

[lavacano201014]

Did you edit cliff2-1 and cliff 2-2 as well?

[Vormex]

Did you edit cliff2-1 and cliff 2-2 as well?

Yeah, they're both transparent but when ever I play on a white background I can see the bottom road fully black. On a black/grey background however the bottom road is completely transparent.

[blue_h3x]

IIRC from when I did work on textures, on a white background, white is taken as transparent for cliff textures, where as the tile, hit and particle textures actually needs to be transparent.
