This is easiest explained with a Before & After screenshot. As for why LRR does this, when it comes to levelpicker images, black = transparent. This means that if the greyscale Tool Store or something is black , then, well, that's transparent too - leading you with the strange stuff happening on the left. So I got rid of the 'black' and replaced it with 'very dark grey.' As you can see on the right, my efforts weren't 100% perfect and I'm not quite sure why, but they're much better than the original! The reason this doesn't happen in vanilla LRR is the Levelpicker.bmp has nice black holes in its background where the levels go - so the black is turned into transparency and the layer behind is... more black. However, if you try to put a level anywhere else, or use a different LevelPicker.bmp, you'll notice this play up. Technical note: This was done in GIMP by selecting everything that was black-ish (it has a handy Select By Color tool), cutting it to a new layer , erasing the bits in there that belonged to the picture of the Power Station or whatever just leaving the rock cutout on the outside, sending this layer to top, creating a new layer that was not-quite-black (used R=4 G=4 B=4) , and then exporting as a 24-bit bitmap without color space information. I may put some screenshots of this later. This also means I have my own 'rock cutouts' to use for my own level screenshots, which will come in handy. Download, unzip, and overwrite everything under Levels\GameLevels with it (but backups are always a good idea!)

So this isn't exactly a MOC, I just wanted to post as a topic that I have assembled all the models of the original LRR game and they are now available for download for everyone. This includes some Beta content, such as the Tool Station and the Beta Small Transport Truck. I'd like to include the Canteen as well, but I gotta figure out how to build that first. They have been made in order to be put into my LRR rebuild, Manic Miners Please use these for non-commercial projects only and give credit to me and the LDraw library if you use them! Enjoy!

I don't believe you understand. My save holds no importance, not anymore, and its percentage is naught but a number. Bertha must be diminished, shrunken, defeated, that I might best that leviathan yet.
