Particle sprites already are and have always been translucent. Model textures, I don't think so: you can assign pure black to transparent, but you can't do gradients and such via the alpha channel like bunny is doing here.

If I understand this correctly. You make changes in dialog.mdl which basically enables the .png 's alpha channel in any of the panes?
If so, could I suggest that someone take the default dialog.mdl, replace all the image loading things with the version that lets you use alpha, and also make corrisponding text bmp.mdl s to replace all the normal bmp.mdl s. The .png s should be available in the art SVN in the 32bitpng section.
well, i guess that would be the desired next step, but KGJV says here that the whole alpha channel support is kind of a fortunate side effect. It is unclear how many functions don't really support it yet.
I'm not entirely sure, but i think GaugeImageRect() doesn't like alpha channels yet, for instance. I'll have to check.
