hey all, I'm having a problem making multi tiles (it just holds the top of the hair really) to have the same color as the bottom icon's rgb... I have it as a obj right now and then overlay, but I want to get it so it's rgb is what the player puts in at the begining.... If you didn't really understand that, here's a picture :P

As you can see the very tip of the hair is black (that's where the next icon starts), is there any way I can get it so it's the same as the bottom with it still able to be taken off like the bottom (the bottom is set as a var, so I do overlays -= hairbottom since I can't take off rgb overlays...)

P.S: Sorry If that sounded a little wierd...that's why I included the picture :P

ThreeFingerPete	Two rows, and a total of three pixels in a icon? You would be better off just reworking your icon so that it fits in 32x32. It would reduce lag... and simplify your code.

RVegeta	well, I would but It looks a little messed up any shorter and actually it's treated as an overlay so it won't really cause lag (even if it caused the slightest, I have a oc-48 host so it won't matter). Also, there's other icon states that require even more use of the top icon so if I took it out it would also conflict with those.

ThreeFingerPete	Ok. thats not so bad. how about drawing him larger, so that he fills more of the second tile? That way you can squeeze more detail into your already excellent art?

RVegeta	Well, I have 3 sizes, small, medium,and tall. that one there is medium so tall will use most of that ;) (small won't even require a multi-tile). P.S: I didn't do the icon..just the hair >< lol, I'll tell my icon artist you said it was good though.

Shadowdarke	Hmm, thought I replied to this a while ago. I must not have hit the post button. Whatever RGB manipulation you are doing to hairbottom, do the same thing to the top hair icon before you add it to the overlays. Unless the hair is more than 32 px high, it might be better if you just use one icon for all the hair with a pixel offset to put it in the right position.
