This addon is dependent on the bug fix from that thread. Once that fix is made. You can make images have their own individual colors (including tranparencies) by doing this:

Add this to IGUIImage.h:
virtual void setOverrideColor(video ...

I just read in the other thread that you'll actually use the cvs for bug fixes... that's great!

Hooray!!!!!!!

I'll happily start contributing if I see that Niko supports this, and uses these bug fixes for the official releases of Irrlicht.

I don't understand what you're trying to say.

Do them yourself.
I recently found one bug. And posted it here. If you look at the other threads on this board, there many other bug fixes that are made by the community.

if they make you mad
If doing bug fixes makes me mad??? What are you talking ...

That sucks.

Has this been resolved, other than the quick hack?

Some of these bug reports seem to go unacknowledged by Niko. So I'm worried that they don't even make it into official releases. What's happened in the past?

I have a Geforce 5950.... so it may be different, but it's still Nvidia:

Right click on desktop->properties->settings tab-> advanced button->Performance and Quality Settings

And this is what I have mine set to:

there should be some option for your video card to "disable vsync"

I'm still only partially convinced by the arguments against the CVS server. I agree one that has the latest features on it would be troublesome. But what about one that ONLY has bug fixes, no new buggy features. I'm not only asking saigumi this, but I'm using what he said to explain what I'm not ...

But but but.... Isn't text drawn using textures

It works in my simple test program. I haven't done any comprehensive testing. I can get back to you on that as I use it more.

I also tweaked that 2nd snippet a little bit to be:


if(alpha) {
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
}
else {
glDisable(GL_BLEND ...

Text doesn't render transparent for me using OpenGL + setOverrideColor + enableOverrideColor. If alpha is 0... the text is invisible, if it is anything greater it is opaque, nothing in between.

Is this a known issue?

EDIT:

I went into CVideoOpenGL.cpp in draw2DImage:
I changed the ...

Yes... but when?
