Image has transparent bits which come out black when loaded

[Mani2010]

My image has transparent bits which come out black when loaded into the game. i have left bits of it transparent on purpose but something happens to it when it get loaded, all the transparent bits become black.

The image is .png and 32x32 if that helps

Anyone know whats going on?

You have to load it with the right settings. If you're applying it to a node, you must set the nodes material type to EMT_TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL with

Code: Select all

node->setMaterialType(E_MATERIAL_TYPE);

for example.

Found it!

I had a look at the drawImage() function again and right at the end is a "bool useAlphaChannelOfTexture = false". Works great now.

Thanks for the reply, will need that for my 3d objects
