Is there any way to make them transparent at all? I am doubtful...

There must be a way, since ethereals are transparent. But that probably requires knowing what part of the code handles transparency for an ethereal, but not bringing in the other properties of ethereal---and knowing how to get the program to use only that part of the code. It isn't like we can put a function's starting address in a txt file...

That's what I meant, you'd need code editing to do this. There isn't some seperate part of the pallete reserved for transparent objects, just a flag for drawing them transparently or not.

What i am trying to do is get the backround of my image invisible i should say . If i can do that i can probly emulate the etheral look by editing the image its self . i fine now with the backround of my item being invisible . problem now is the stupid color is off sigh.

This might be too simple after all---here we are chasing after code demons

In armor.txt, misc.txt, and weapons.txt there is a column labeled transparent. Have you tried putting a 1 in there for your new items? It would probably be a Boolean column, an item is either transparent or not.

I will have to toy around with that etheal stuff later on would be neat to see basic weapons having the etheral look. I am having trouble with the colors being off in my game on my inventory items. Does any know what i gotta do to fix this. thx alot
