So I recently just upgraded to the current byond version and upon editing one of my games maps I realized that the bmp images I placed down lost their transparency.
Now I remember that back in 3.5 you could just fill gray as the background color on your bmp and it would be transparent, so was that removed or did that color change?

Why are you using BMP files exactly? DMI files support transparency (as do PNG's; DMI = PNG) and their a lot smaller.

So I should use PNG instead, and it should be transparent if I use that same transparent color in dmi's?

Ok, I cant figure out how to make my PNG transparent when I add it to my map. I've messed around with some colors but none of them seem to work. Can someone upload a png that has the needed color value to make it transparent?

You need to change the alpha of the parts of the image you want to change to transparent.
