Do Wenoth graphic alpha channels sometimes have values
other then 255 and 0?
How about just along the edges of images; does the edge of
some creature ever blend a little? Or is it always a 255->0
alpha transition?
We use transparency _extensively_. All sprites have non 255->0
transitions. The newer and more advanced ones have those on their
edges as well - they've been anti-aliased by hand.

Really, the point at which this billinear filter is being inserted is
the wrong one (bilinearly filtering the tiles introduces issues that
bilinearly filtering an entire game-window-sized image would not.
However, therein lies the problem, just a basic point-of-design in
our graphics engine. The "right place to insert it" might not exist
- though I need to look at the code before making that kind of
judgement.
Having a bilinear filter available is very, very nice for other
things, though, like map images and such.
Thanks a ton for working on this.
