Hi guys, I am mid way through creating my first DMod, for some reason there is white around all sprites on my screen and this makes it really hard to see everything and how things will look after mapping is completed. Can someone advise me how to get rid of it (It didnt happen when I first started but is now even on other peoples DMods when I am 'editing' them for a look at how things were done) I am using a mixture of the editors available.
Hm, I sometimes get a white background over my sprites, but it's solved by restarting WinDinkEdit Plus. And it's just on some sprites and not every one.
It can be solved if you look into the Dink.ini file... If the sequence has a black background it useful to set the sprite to "BLACK", so it disappears. However if you got a white background on your sprites, it might be because you have the ini line set to remove all black around the sprite, thus saving the white annoying background. Simply open the ini file and remove the "BLACK" at the end of your graphic.

That's good for new graphics but she said it's happening with every D-Mod...
Maybe try reinstalling the editors? Not sure

Seems like your computer has some problems displaying transparency. Have you formatted the computer recently or done anything with the video drivers?
You could try updating those. If you haven't yet, though, just try restarting the computer as the very first thing.

I missed that, sorry.

Scratcher is right, it's the drivers or a bad graphics card.
