All my TGA files open as jsut a white(blank) space. They have worked before though. They do this, now, with Photoshop, paintshop pro, and GIMP. How do I fix them?

The image is 100% white and alpha.
Apparently your editor uses white as a background behind the alpha.
You can probably change it somewhere.
Any maps not in the MG repo?  Email me or come to irc.freenode.net/#mg.

My words are mine and mine alone.  I can't speak for anyone else, and there is no one who can speak for me.  If I ever make a post that gives the opinions or positions of other users or groups, then they will be clearly labeled as such.
I'm disappointed that people's past actions have forced me to state what should be obvious.
I am not a dev.  Nothing I say counts for anything.

TGA format has four channels:

R G B A.

Red, Green, Blue and Alpha. Alpha is the transparency/opacity of a layer.

Well, by post a few I meant upload the actual TGAs somewhere so we can download them and see them for ourselves.

Oh well, I guess the problem has been fixed anyway.
