This is annoying

[Wayne Rayner]

I have been trying to load image including transparency but it does all kinds of weird things.

there are two images in the zip folder. One is a screenshot of what basic4Gl does to the image bar.gif

also the code I have is here.

dim tex (1)        
dim bar, tower1

tex (0) = LoadTex ("Resources/graphics/bar.gif")

bar = NewSprite (tex (0))
SprSetPos (600,300)
SprSetSize (200,600)
SetTexTransparentCol(255, 0, 255)
bindSprite (bar)

your help
would
be gratefull

Well for a start the image that is supposed to be a GIF is in the PSD format & it's the incorrect size.

The width & height of your image have to be in a Power of Two.

So sizes such as 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 etc are acceptable. Sizes like 200 x 600 aren't.

Okay, I've solved the problem.

I changed the image from a PSD to a PNG file & then resized it to 128 x 512 pixels.

I also changed your program so SetTexTransparentCol gets called before the sprite is loaded.
