I guess I should share this. Had it laying around for quite some time, but I think it could still be very useful to people.

(right click, save target as, keep the PNG file extension or the Alpha Channel will be destroyed)
Dont worry if your Browser doesnt render it correctly, it renders right in game.

looks great. nice mapping skills also.
I don't know why I didn't mention this earlier, but if you want to see that Alpha Channel Fog in action, check it out in this demo I made a while back. Its a bit laggy, but other versions that I havent released have taken care of all the lag!

You'll have to select Lightgeist Mountain from the initial menu. I think it provides a pretty spectacular effect! And, those mapping skills weren't just limited to one screen! Its a full-on experimental Dungeon!
Mods: How come this never got moved to Resources? Do I need to reformat my original post or something?
