In both cases you were notified and action was taken. The unclaimed auction in November 2007 was reclaimed and you were credited with 80% of the winning amount as per policy at that time. When auctioned land is unclaimed it can be put back up for auction as was done in this case. The 397000$ Lindens acquired by you from a fraudulent source were assessed and removed from your account June 18, 2007. I apologize for any confusion, though there is no other action that can be taken at this point with either one of these issues. Sincerely, Linden Lab once again your so called "solution" does not solve anything from my point of view, not only is the statement "In both cases you were notified and action was taken" is incorrect you completly failed to be able to view this whole episode fairly.I have on several occassion made it clear that i did not acquire lindens from a fruadulent source, if you accuse me of obtaining lindens in that way I would be interested in knowing who or what is that source,as far as being notified that my land was to be reclaimed, please provide me with the notification as I have not received any such notification to date.Also you have denied me access to my transaction history, you again make the statement "When auctioned land is unclaimed it can be put back up for auction as was done in this case" how much did the land bring at auction ? what is 80% of that amount ? where is the transaction information regarding the sale etc ? Your apology is meaningless as you have taken my money illegally and you have failed again to put the rights of your customers first. I will pursue this outside your corrupt and dishonest system. space. Dear Space Rockett,

I have reviewed your account and there are two issues here; one is the unclaimed auction 26203869 in Sababurg, and the other is the you received 397000$ Lindens from a fraudulent source.

In both cases you were notified and action was taken.

The unclaimed auction in November 2007 was reclaimed and you were credited with 80% of the winning amount as per policy at that time. When auctioned land is unclaimed it can be put back up for auction as was done in this case.

The 397000$ Lindens acquired by you from a fraudulent source were assessed and removed from your account June 18, 2007.

I apologize for any confusion, though there is no other action that can be taken at this point with either one of these issues.

Sincerely,

Linden Lab

Many people have a problem with a "halo" at the edges of their transparency when they don't use an alpha channel. I would still recommend that approach for more advanced use of alpha textures, especially clothes and tattoos and such. Also, it's just easier to edit a single alpha channel, than multiple layer transparencies. Some people commenting seem to have that backwards.

Seriously, the actual data stored in a TGA with an alpha channel and a PNG file with alpha is the same: they both internally have channels for red, green, blue, and alpha, usually 8 bits for each, whether they're explicitly described as layers or not. It's not a matter of whether it's TGA or PNG, it's how you create the texture. @69 @72: you can do the exact same thing with PNG files.

It can however take a bit more practice and might be easier to simply use a tga... @69…. you can do something similar with PNG files….
