I am having an issue when I open a terrain.png file. It opens just fine but I notice that the background turns instantly white and removes the transparency from the terrain.png file. How does one fix this? Also my settings for the background is set to transparent so you can see why it is a problem. Any help would be appreciated

Oh it does. Also, he require Illustrator as he is making a Vector based pack. I have no idea. Try the Adobe help files or search it on your preferred search engine. Mine's Google.
I guess it doesn't support transparency, use a different program like Gimp or Paint.net.
Adobe Illustrator is a premium Graphic Design software. Why wouldn't it support transparency?
hmm.. try exporting. I dunno, never used illustrator.
.svg supports transparency, right? You could open an SVG in another editor, such as GIMP, and resave it.
When you go to save your pack. Go to Save For Web & Devices Export as png 24 bit and check "transparency". There you go. as long as your pack truly has no 'white' for the background, it will export transparent.
If you do still have white, then you have something behind your image that you can just delete.
If you STILL get white and have photoshop,
Go to File> Export Photoshop save a layered Photoshop file. Now open photoshop and you should be able to grab the layer that has the white and remove it.
Resave your file and be done. :3
I know Adobe Illustrator supports transparency, but I think transparency displays it as white, or more specifically, the "canvas" is white (not sure if you can change this). as long as you save it as a .PNG, and don't add any white objects, you should have transparency.
Edit: I looked and couldn't find a way, and Inkscape and a few other vector editors are the same way. I think it's because one of the main uses of vector editors is making icon-like textures (things with a lot of transparency), so having the transparency checkerboard would be disorienting to the artist, (especially when the shapes are small), or you're working with partial transparency (and the colors of the background affect that).

It’s the unpleasantness of the system that keeps me out.
I’d rather be in, in a good system. That’s where my discontent comes from:
being forced to choose to stay outside.
My advice: Just keep movin’ straight ahead.
Every now and then you find yourself in a different place."
