Unhappy Evil Transparencies! Grrr.....
I decided to take a little stroll through Graal and took pictures of transparencies that have been bugging me for ever.
I know they look fine if you turn on DirectX, but I don't use DirectX because it slows down graal for me and I can't see light effects anyway. But are the transparencies ever going to be fixed for those of us who don't turn on DirectX?

It could be a video card issue.
I'm glad you turn off the lighting effects, they're ugly and scattered EVERYWHERE.

Try updating your video card drivers to the latest version.

On the system I used before this one, I had a similar problem. Even with directx on, everything would have either a problem with transparencies or just get covered by black boxes. I never figured out how to fix it.

You dont need special video cards to need drivers, you just have to have a video card

I have yet to be able to play Graal with Direct X on, simply because it lags me so badly. I want to be able to see the lightning effect once though.

I dont get any of that Evil Transparencies. Everything on graal is fine for me but when I have direct x on its slow I dont really care for the night and day so it doesn't matter to me

Graal always use DirectX, that checkbox in the
options window is only for enabling direct3d using
the interfaces of directx7 and directx8
The light effects really make the game more
interesting because things look more cooler,
when we have time then we will use a special
graphics SDK to support OpenGL. The main problem
is to use 3D stuff on newer cards and 2D stuff
on older cards, the existing 3D engines only
support 3D-enabled cards, and have some more
problems (no windows or such stuff in voodoo
full screen mode)

I don't know what the problem with the transparency
is, graal uses the standard functions for setting/getting
transparent colors and I have only seen problems
on cards that are crappy on windows (which means
they don't support the windows API like they are
supposed to do)
