for the alpha map thing, png's support 8 bit alpha which lets you specify
pixels as full transparent, full opaque, or anywhere in between.
so if you use a png texture on something, you can use the 8 bit alpha and do
semi or full transparency where needed. The game can handle that just fine.
Not sure about the look we are goin for though (for the green liquid etc) so
not responding to that stuff hehe :P
