Clear, Smoke, White - transparent textures messed up?

I noticed the windows of my store had a new texture, they used to be clear. I went to fix them and clear isnt clear anymore. I tried a workaround of smoke and the same deal, a texure is where one wasnt. Again I tried, this time with White- transparent. No good. This latest update did "something" to these textures. Is it possible they were inadvertantly globally changed?

I have never seen these replacement textures before, the names are correct but whats in em is all wrong.

I'm not sure if this is related, but when I try to set an object to "BLANK," instead of turning white like it used to, it turns into a cloudy transparent texture.

I've also been having a few problems with some other textures showing inside others when they overlap, but that might just be how I'm making them... (:

Weird. Sounds like "Blank" is now what "smoke" was??

Well... after today's patch, my blank is white again...

wierd. (8

I'll post if I get the transparent one again...

BLAH never mind... I log out to type this, and log back in game and the top of my cottage wall is transparent again.

That's wierd that it showed up as white for a sec... I wish it would stay, because the transparent texture is fairly annoying... if I want something transparent, I'll set the transparency percentage! (8

Yeah Mis, the new texture reminds me of smoke... as a side note, Ama said he's not having this problem. Why do these problems single out those who like messing with textures a lot?

Just FYI...

The translucent "smoke" texture is what you see when you're looking at a texture that hasn't downloaded yet...or, thanks to a bug, isn't loading correctly.

I've had this problem alot within the last week when i go to desktop and then bring the game back up again. Something about the reloading/precaching process or whatever it is. If I have objects of mine nearby, they all seem to go semi-transparent/smokey like. They never seem to correct themselves and the only way i can get everything back to normal is to restart the game completely. Also I seem to have that exact problem like your describe...textures in the selection screen seem to look like smoke and it seems to only have gotten worse lately.

Here is a question: Do the textures etc. look ok if you just log in and mess with them? Do they only look bad if you flip to desktop and back, or do they always look wrong? I ask because since .7.0 if I switch to desktop and come back I have texture problems. I am running on a subpar graphics card though so I figured it was just me.

Yep, I use windows mode and play SL & PS at the same time. I will try the posted workarounf and see what happens. Since I make clothes this is my normal play mode and I am constantly trying on creations so I may just have to live with it. It kind of bites though since other people see me that way too and may assume my creations are flawed with htey are not
