Blue/black checkered overlay for my background?

Hello while i was trying to switch from my old graphics tileset to my new one and add larger tree's i get this blue/black checkered board overlay for my background i tryed outlineing the whole box with a rectangle and pasteing it into my map but this is what happens i even tried flood fill but that didnt work out to well and it just pasted 1 square covering part of the tree.

Heres what it currently looks like i had to paste each square by hand instead of the whole tree for some reason it only paste 1 square of the of invisableness when trying to pace in rectangle mode option 

It's a transparency issue when the graphic was imported.

When you import a graphic, it will ask you to select the colors for transparency. You just need to make sure you selected it correctly. I often pick a really loud color like hot pink and cover the background in it, then click it for my transparency when I import.

Additionally you can fix the transparency in an editor.

Edit* i found it testing it now :D

Where would this option to change the transparency be? the only options that i have are import export preview and delete :/

Heres a pic of what my options are

No it isn't. You've put your tree onto the A tiles - probably the one you've put into the A5 slot. A tiles are ground, and will replace anything else you have on the ground. Things that have transparency need to go on the B-E tiles.


The blue/black is simply the editor. The colour/pattern doesn't matter. You DON'T want to edit your tiles and make anything a different colour - that'd just introduce a completely new problem and you'd have to go and undo it.


A bit of time looking at the help file under Resources > Tilesets, or doing a bit of a search on creating tilesets would give you a bit more info on what goes where. You can't just put any image on any tile.

Thankyou very much Shaz your brilliant saved me alot of time to gonna check it out now.
