Because semitransparent pixels can not be used, shadows outside the main shape of the image must be done with opaque color. RGB color #353535 is fairly common, but you can use something else too. | Because semitransparent pixels can not be used, shadows outside the main shape of the image must be done with opaque color.

== Adding tiles to existing images == | |||
* If the image has completely transparent tiles, you can safely use those for new tiles. | |||
* <b>Never increase the width of an image, that is used by any map, and is higher than 1 tile!</b> The tiles would get renumbered, and every map using tiles from row 2 or below, would get broken.[[#Notes|[2] ]] | |||
* You can add more rows to images, below the old ones. | |||
* Preferably do not change the size of images in the cvs, unless someone has already broken the cvs clients compatibility with the standard server. Many developers use the cvs client in the main server too, giving it more testing than it would get otherwise. | |||

[1] There are valid reasons to break most rules, but do not break a rule unless you understand the reason for it (and, by extension, the reason why it does not apply to your particular image). | [1] There are valid reasons to break most rules, but do not break a rule unless you understand the reason for it (and, by extension, the reason why it does not apply to your particular image).<br> | ||
[2] Strictly speaking, it's possible to add to the width too, while keeping the tile numbering constant. Don't do that unless you really know what you are doing. | |||
