Alpha Transparency in 2D

[morlok]

is it possible to draw a transparent 2D bitmap?? (I don't talk about COLOR_KEY, I mean real transparency with a 8 bit Alpha value)

I tried this but it doesn't work: (in the exemple I loaded the "m_pIRRTexture" with the "driver->getTexture(sFileName)" function).

...
short nAlpha=128; //semi transparent
...
IRRDriver->draw2DImage(m_pIRRTexture, core::position2d<s32>(X,Y), rect, 0,video::SColor(nAlpha,255,255,255), true /* or false */);...

(I've forced 32bit textures with "IRRDriver->setTextureCreationFlag(video::ETCF_ALWAYS_32_BIT,true);" changes nothing...)

thanks!

check out this thread http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... .php?t=517

i've found that i had to tweak some directx and opengl settings in the irrlicht source to be able to load 32bit .tga and .png so that the alpha would show properly.
