Ah, then what do you mean about transparent images? Doing a grayscaled out image would be the easiest course of action.

Well I assume the way to do it would be to send a value along with the image saying 'this image should be displayed at 50% transparancy', and having the client obey.

But then I don't know gtk, and have never looked at the client in any depth whatsoever, so have no idea how it occurs.

You will first have to look into chaning the code that makes the image blink.

I know, but /I/ wouldn't do this anyway. Graphical stuff just isn't my thing, in any language.

i would prefer more images, for it might be fun to have invis npc's that are 50% transparant after casting show invisible

That is why you would want to do it as a client side transformation, anything can be displayed transparently that way. Even walls (possible way to show X-ray a little better?)

Ah, you mean also 75% transparent walls with X-ray, on the more asthetic sense?
Client can do a lot of things, the question is of how convuluted the code is.

Well, yes, this is why I said that what is needed is someone who knows libPNG (since AFAIK this is what the client uses to display images)

I was looking through the client code, and unless someone knows exactly where it is, I believe the image blink capability is stored in the server code.
Soo, I'm at a loss here, because it seems to be a server only thing.
