in the engine when i want to change one of the texture for the ground/floor nothing happens, i pushright mouse i select in a folder a png image but image is not imported, i make a 24bits RGB png+alpha in photoshop and then export that to the default folder of GG texture.

NOTHING WORKS !!!!
IMPOSSIBLE TO LOAD TEXTURES AND APPLY TO THE GROUND !!!

that's because they need to be 32 bit png it has been discussed on the forums a few times now SEARCH IS YOUR FRIEND I can shout too

i CANT DO a 32bits PNG in photoshop !!!

Oh come on …
Just google …. photoshop 32 bit png
Even I found it in seconds and I don't use it … A little effort wouldn't go amiss you know .
Otherwise users will just stop responding .

Simply save/export a PNG24 image using Adobe Photoshop which contains transparency. Transparency is the remaining 8 bits.

24Bit PNG = 8 bits red, 8 bits blue, 8 bits green

32bit PNG = 8 bits red, 8 bits blue, 8 bits green, 8 bits alpha

Photoshop automatically creates a 32bit PNG image if you save a 24Bit PNG that contains transparent areas.

PNG is an RGB-only format.
Eight bits per RGB channel (24 bits).
When you save it with "transparency", you are actually saving a fourth eight-bit grayscale channel used to define the transparency mask (therefore, 32 bits).
terrain and EBE textures need the Alpha to work.

Another quick and easy option is to install Paint.net and save as PNG you will then have an option of PNG type just choose 32Bit

I came across a similar sounding problem earlier today when attempting to import some free GG textures into my GG environment.

I think the problem you were having has to do with the fact that the Background Layer in Photoshop does not behave like other layers. If your image is sitting in the Background Layer and you export a PNG you get a 24 bit PNG file (RGB). However, if your image is sitting in another layer (not the Background Layer) this forces Photoshop to export a 32 bit PNG file (RGB + Alpha Channel).

Try this ...

If the Layers Window is not already visible, make it so by selecting the Layers menu option from the Window Menu, or by pressing the F7 function key on your keyboard.

Select All (CTRL-A)
Copy (CRTL-C)
Paste (CRTL-V)

This will move your image from the Background Layer to it's own layer.

Now, delete the Background Layer by dragging it onto the Trash Icon in the bottom right corner of the Layers Window.

Save your Photoshop file to save the changes.

Now use Save As ... to export a PNG file. This will produce a 32 bit PNG file.

n.b. it is not necessary for your layer to have any transparent areas - either by the use of a channel mask or by using a layer opacity setting other than 100%.

BTW - I have been teaching Photoshop since Version 2.0 was released, and I have seen this particular quirk confound both newbies and professionals alike. In general, I recommend that whenever you open a new file in Photoshop, the first thing you should do is delete the background layer!

That’s realy interesting Learnability,thank you
