Low Priority Ghosts

[Grey Roger]

Normally when using TX Convertor to make a character texture, I use A1R5G5B5 if it has an alpha channel. 1 bit alpha is enough to make areas visible or invisible.

It turns out that characters obey 4 bit alpha, to some extent. Photoshop allows the colour to be set by sliders or by typing numbers:


Some experimenting shows that the brightness must be at least 74. At 73, the character is completely invisible. At 74, meet the ghost of Nathaniel Hawk:


Those of you interested in the supernatural can probably find uses for this...

 

[The Nameless Pirate]

Now that is interesting!

I might use it at some point, thanks for sharing this!

 

[BathtubPirate]

Yeah, lots of potential with this one. Perhaps a small quest that involves the ghost of a pirate.

 

[Jack Rackham]

That's looks very good!

 

[Pieter Boelen]

Very nice!
Something could be made of that for sure.

I wonder what a character would look like with some parts alpha'ed and some parts solid.
Hmm....

 

[BathtubPirate]

I even have a little idea already.

Maybe after my current "test quest" I could try something...

 

[Bartolomeu o Portugues]

Very interesting for the next Bartolomeu Storyline's quest...
Indeed, you must fight some "supernatural" conquistadors at some point.

 

[Grey Roger]

Very interesting for the next Bartolomeu Storyline's quest...

Or even the existing quest. The ghost of Nathaniel could equally well be the ghost of Charles Baxter...
