    Default Weird error with info_pics. Help!

    I'm currently doing the info_pics for some of the new units.
    The pictures have the correct size and (I think) the correct resolution. In fact they are shown correctly when the card is right-clicked.


    But I was shocked when I saw the same picture in the pannel of recruitment information:


    If I'm not wrong, both images use the same picture.
    Why is then the reason for this different behaviour?
    Any idea?

    it's because the 2nd screenshot doesn't use the alpha channel properly. I haven't tried but maybe you can try saving the file with different settings or using different GFX editors.

    Could you explain this with more detail?
    I'm using the same method I described in this thread:

    In summary: eliminating the background of the screenshot and saving the 32 bits tga. In this way the file works for the first purpose (unit information) but not for the second one (recruitment info).
