Yes, the background of the speed-meter is black, but I used another blendingmode, so the edge of the speed-meter looks smooth. This has nothing to do with transparent color.

Well, here are the new textures (~300 kb) with a pure black background for the trees. Maybe this helps you, but now I got myself problems with the trees, because the transparent color is definitly pink. In case it won't work, lets think about something to replace the trees. Any ideas? :)

Bye

No it doesn't. Maybe, when the TransparentSpriteColor()-Command is removed...

When you have a function code, which i can test, contact me.

It is a little bit funny, that the half has transparent background, the other half of the textures not...

The Problem is TransparentSpriteColor() ! It seems, that this function is buggy.

I have chance to get the code of the XMas-Game viewtopic.php?t=8701 , where the same problem is: Some are transparent, other not.

I remove all transparentSpriteColor() and set the background to true black (RGB(0,0,0)) and where a black color is needed, i change it to RGB(1,1,1). And now it works!

@All:
Please don't use TransparentSpriteColor() or it will don't run on all systems perfekt. When you need a black in your Programm, use RGB(1,1,1). I don't bleave, that somebody can see the diffrent.

@GPI I don't understand !?

What is transparent then ? If you don't use the colour command ?

Standard transparent color is RGB(0, 0, 0).

Just downloaded this example. Crashes

It says can't open fullscreen and in windowed it crashes after a few secs.

What could be wrong?

Mainboard: Shuttle AK32E
CPU: AMD Duron 1300
RAM: 256MB SDRAM
GFX: ATI Radeon 9200SE
SND: Creative SB 16 PCI
OS: Win98SE

I think I was confused and though this might solve my problem with non-transparent 3dsprites....... but it probably wont

Hi here is what I am using:

P4 2.4
512 Mb Ram
ATI RADEON 9800 Pro

I get the pink background on all purebasic programs that have a screen debth of 16. 32 is just fine and I think we can all agree my video card is NOT old.

By the way I love pressing Z and X in the game

Here is a little problem: German keylayout has swap y and z. So make a config-dialog or ask for the scan-codes for the key.

Here's another solution: change from german to a normal keyboard layout!!

Only the scan-codes are saved, so the keyboard layout doesn't matter (even if displayed wrong in the configurations).

I think DriakTravo is just playing with the camera, because you can adjust its height with 'x' and 'z'. This version was not meant to be released, so this 'feature' is still active :)

Are there any other 'features' that we can play with?
