How do you get it to show the alpha channel?

I have yet to figure that out with photoshop.

Um... My translator, although it is in progress, isn't finished. What's it say?

Itani Nation.
Duh! :p

Heh, my mind ran a quick check when i looked at it to be sure.
First and last letter of each word is the same, good enough for me.

Hey Sam, how much for us to exclusively license that from you? (by us I mean the INC/INM)

I was kinda hoping the devs could put it on the itani ships as a place holder till a real one is made (if they wanted to i would give it to them free of charge to be used as they see fit).


But... Hehehe, how much are you offering?

Lemming, have everything you want in the alpha channel a certain color (i picked red in that design simply because nothing in the picture was red) then there should be a tool on the toolbar, usualy a little fairy wond i think, maybe has the letter "t" next to it, just use that tool and click on the color in the image you want transparent.

Save as a PNG.


At least, that's the grpahic converter way... donno about photoshop

I don't like the red background....other then that...

/me joins Roguelazers negotiotion team

Urza...looks like it would make a great cigar band!

Seriously, very nice work!

Don't want to sound overly picky, but isn't there a single token from the symbolic alphabet that reads "nation"? As a relatively new space pilot I would prefer that single sign over refering repeatedly to the "normal" alphabetic chart...

laern to read waylononics.

Nation is slightly less than half way down the second chart to the left

writing it out looks much better i think though

I'm with you on that aspect of looking better. So, why not create/invent/define a symbol for each race? :))

I could try for that... ;)

ah, well IQ.Gobo 'nation' isn't in the ttf set (yet)... maybe it should be added to it..

/me looks around

what?

It seems to me the alphabet is missing a few other things as well. Such as "c", "q", "x" and "y" at least...

Don't tell me they arn't needed, there are even cells left in the matrix for them to fill ;)

They aren't needed. It's a phonetic language.
