Lumireaver Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) I imagine DE will help you out without charging you again for another submission, but thanks for the warning. Just throw a support ticket their way. Nice emblem by the way. :-) Edited July 15, 2013 by Lumireaver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollow_Knight Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) Personally, I think this is kinda DE's problem to solve, transparency is fairly well understood, so why is the black being converted into transparency instead? The image provided makes it fairly clear what we wanted to see in game, and since we weren't told what the rules were.... Fixed or I'd like my platinum back, costs 150 for a Warlord to upload an image. Edited July 15, 2013 by Hollow_Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BinoAl Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) I had the same issue; I put in a ticket. I'm gonna be &!$$ed beyond belief if they make me pay the 150 plat again simply to have it fixed. Edited July 16, 2013 by BinoAl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixnalia Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) Hey there, I 'll be submitting an image of my own for my clan. I was curious if any of you could give me some pointers so I can avoid having my submission messed up. Black = Transparent then?

Hollow_Knight Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 As far as we're aware, yes, those should appear as you want them. As a disclaimer, I'll say that it may NOT work, as Firetempest's emblem appears to have given him a red background and then a white border...

Firetempest Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Sixnalia, I wouldn't waste any money on this tell they get it sorted out. Some work, some don't, some times black is transparent, other times it seems not. Plenty of white bordered ones like mine, other with weird tiled artifacting... its a bit of a mess.

Phatose Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Well, to answer the actual question of the topic, take a good look at FireTempest's image. The Clan Emblems are light projections, so they use additive color. They aren't decals on armor, and "black" light makes no sense at all. You can see in FireTempest's image that you can actually see through the emblem, and it adds color. Black isn't transparent per se - it's just that black adds no color whatsoever since it's (0,0,0). I wouldn't expect a fix where png transparency works in the way you expect - transparency doesn't make any sense here, since the emblems are transparent to begin with.

Love2Camp Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) There was no mention of that being the terms. Logic dictates that the transparency in the png is transparent. Imagine if they were to add some sort of clan listing on the website, should everyone have black squares with a picture on it as their logo? I'm kinda baffled myself. We too have a white square, and there is no white (or black) in our logo, only transparency and red. If that transparency converts into white, you'd think they could change it when converting it to ingame resources? I'm really annoyed, but, I do think DE will fix this, at least that's what I'm hoping. They've been fair with so many other things. Oh, and with bloom on, I now have a flashlight on my shoulder :< /e: typo's! Edited July 16, 2013 by Love2Camp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst that makes a fair bit of sense... A. They didn't tell us this was how it works, the only guidelines we were given was '128x128 .PNG' B. Given that the image is ACTUALLY just the texture raised into open space, you could display the black just fine, even if it doesn't technically make sense in that it's a hologram.

Phatose Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Well, it's not just the texture raised into space - it's being used as an emissive light. I expect the devs will probably let you upload a new version at no charge if you contact them. In the meantime, I've created a tool to correct your current logos as much as possible. https://forums.warframe.com/index.php?/topic/80309-another-emblem-issue/?view=findpost&p=880501 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cul513 Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 We have a problem too. Our clan emblem have transparent (invisible) parts on it, but in game these parts are filled with collor. Its a standart .PNG 128*128 image created in photoshop. Its looks not as I expected.http://steamcommunit.../?id=160593263� - screenshots in steam.How can I fix it? Maby RBG 0;0;255 color should be in place of transparent elements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatose Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 In the thread linked in my post above, I have a tool specifically for reprocessing. Try that. Otherwise, 0,0,0 is going to be transparent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-WARP-Xaero Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Okay but have you actually done that and had it show up properly in-game? Otherwise it's not even worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love2Camp Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 It's probably a nice tool and all, but it shouldn't be necessary to use a third-party tool to get the expected results. Also, I'm not spending more plat on this, at least not until DE comments on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect DE will either fix the system to display transparency, making it so we don't need to re-upload (except for those that used black as a part of their emblem, rather than transparency), or allow everyone who has uploaded once to re-upload, and explain how it works more clearly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phatose Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Okay but have you actually done that and had it show up properly in-game? Otherwise it's not even worth it. No, I have not. It's based on the information here and in the other related threads. If you'd prefer to make the edits yourself, or just wait, that's cool - I'm just trying to make it easier for you. It's probably a nice tool and all, but it shouldn't be necessary to use a third-party tool to get the expected results. Also, I'm not spending more plat on this, at least not until DE comments on it. You did file a support ticket, yes? Because this is pretty clearly DE not explaining things anywhere near well enough, and I'd expect to get a re-upload at the very least, but you'd need to go through support for that. I suspect DE will either fix the system to display transparency, making it so we don't need to re-upload (except for those that used black as a part of their emblem, rather than transparency), or allow everyone who has uploaded once to re-upload, and explain how it works more clearly I would expect the latter. From all the posts around here, they were anything but clear on how the emblem was going to function in game, or that png transparency was going to be ignored because of the way it's functioning.

Their big faults were in transparency not showing up, and failing to be more descriptive on how it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
