translucent polygons

[haunter]

I was playing around with polygons, but when i tried to make it translucent, it didnt work... It changes color, but the alpha doesn't change...

Am I doing something wrong? Was it made not to work? Or is it a bug? (if its a bug, would a mod please move this thread)...

NPC Code:

---

// NPC made by Shadowless

if (created) {

  showpoly i,{

    x,y,

    x+5,y+5,

    x+4,y-7

        };

  changeimgcolors i,1,0,1,.2;

}

Only graal version3+ supports alpha blending polygons.

Ok, thank you.

[MrGannondorf]

likewise for showtext, it can only be transparent in v3, right?

[DustyPorViva]

Yup.

----------------------------
New features/bug fixes in v3
----------------------------

v3 has several little improvements over the old Graal,
more will be added soon. Here a list of the
new things:

- polygons and texts can be transparent, so
you can use the script commands showpoly and
showtext together with changeimgcolors and
changeimgmode
- onwall2(x,y,width,height) to test a rectangular area
for blocking things
- more efficient speach support, it should work on Linux
too when microphone support is installed
- support for 24bit-pngs and jpegs

Things that are not supported anymore:
- setbackpal
- playersays()

[MrGannondorf]

oo better png support, finaly.

It is in the windows version of 3.0

Actualy, rev1 of it is already out. And you don't need vip anymore. And its not worth you time, just yet. Far to glitchy for my tastes, and the older layout is much easier to use, at this time.

I doubt ONLY a month, it would be sad if it did turn about to be only a month. Having such a long time of work to go directly to waste after one month.

I meant figuring it all out, for some of us it won't even take that long though
