EMT_TRANSPARENT_ADD_COLOR question

[Bear_130278]

Hello there ))
Is there any possibility to make
EMT_TRANSPARENT_ADD_COLOR
to use not the black color as transparent?
I really need it to be vice versa, white transparent and black opaque.

look at IVideoDriver::makeColorKeyTexture().

Then you should be able to use EMT_TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL instead.

Maybe i need to specify the subject )
with EMT_TRANSPARENT_ADD_COLOR i'm getting nice half transparent color effect, that is what i need, but not with white, but with black.

Now i'm trying to play with EMT_TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL and the texture with AC.

how about invert the color of ur texture?

It's always easier to edit the art files than go hacking around the engine for a function that doesn't really exist.

Paint even has an invert funtion...

But then it's going to be the wrong colour when rendered isn't it?

[jontan6]

sorry, yes it will be different color. but seems difficult... since its add color black should be the transparent

JP another question.
How can i make a semi-transparency with TAChannel material?
It looks, like it still makes pixels or transparent or opaque.

BTW, i'm still using 1.1 version of the engine... due to my usage of .x files for all geometry.
With 1.3 i can not see any geometry rendered, but meshes are loading, 1.4.1 is not working with my MS VC++ 6.0 ))

Just provide semitransparent image in png format and use EMT_TRANSPARENT_ALPHA_CHANNEL

[Bear_130278]

Nah.. i tried it first..
the object is fully opaque, no semi transparency 8((

[arras]

You can set alpha of each pixel, so it is possible to get semitransparency.

Made it ))
Hacked the engine a little bit, with render states ))
