Alpha dont work with this driver

Post by M4UNOT »

I was trying to draw some 2d Pixel with an alpha channel, but i found out that using: " EDT_SOFTWARE "
Instead of " EDT_BURNINGSVIDEO " driver...dont make the object more transparent ..the alpha show still show up 255 on the screen..

The api says " Runs on all platforms, with every hardware. It should only be used for 2d graphics, but it can also perform some primitive 3d functions. These 3d drawing functions are quite fast, but very inaccurate, and don't even support clipping in 3D mode. "


What wrong with this driver ??
Is there a special Way to do that when using that driver ?
If yes, please show sample and if not, what is it made for then ???

You can only use binary alpha values with teh simple software driver. It's mainly dedicated for GUIs.
