I know this topic is quite old (the newest I can find), but thought I post a snippet to save a lot of searching/reading if people are still looking for help.
I had similar problems as detailed under a 'transparent HUD' search in the forums.
After reading through all the help I could find, including this very helpful thread, I still couldn't get a semi-transparent HUD, even though I was using dds as you definitely must.
I eventually traced the problem to the fact I was saving in X8R8G8B8 instead of A8R8G8B8, using the Nvidia plugin for Photoshop CS2 (D3TXTextureFormat(*.DDS,*.HDR,*.PFM,*PPM)).
So I saved as A8R8G8B8 as posted by Squeegy on 22/04/2004 and only 2 lines were needed to load the texture:
Scr = new TVScreen2DImmediate
sngScroll = TexFactory.LoadTexture("HUDScroll_F2.dds","HUD", -1,-1)
you don't need Scr.Settings_SetAlphaBlending as already mentioned in the forums, and just the normal draw texture code in between Scr.Action begin and end like this:
Scr.Action_Begin2D()
Scr.Draw_Texture(sngScroll, 0, 0, 1024, 768, -1, -1, -1, -1, 0, 0, 1, 1)
Scr.Action_End2D()
I hope this helps anyone who is searching on this topic,
cheers

Same story... a lot of developers still use VB6 for applications geared toward entry-level pc users. it doesnt require the 20mb net download. vb6 will be offically supported in all windows oses until 2017.
I program .Net and VB6... Net for my more 'savy' users, VB6 for my "everybody software" (just dont want the devs to kill the switch on the VB6 version k?  ) |
