semi transparnt images in lua

[Buddy4point0]

hey i have been trying to figure out how to use semi transparent images in lua. i have my semi transparent image in png format, but when i use it in my game its opaque. if someone could tell me how, if its even posible, it would be greatly appreciated.:confused:

try use the alpha flag (opt. arg #8 to img:blit())

[Buddy4point0]

can u use that in an example? plz

here is what i im writing now

screen:blit(0,0,clouds)
so how would that look useing the alpha flag?

[dangee]

local U=nil ; screen:blit(0,0,clouds,U,U,U,U,true)

local im=clouds ;
screen:blit(0,0,im,0,0,im:width(),im:height(),true ) -- more reliable

[Buddy4point0]

it doesnt work. it just makes a bunch of weird likes and stuff

It's opaque on Windows Lua Player, while it's semi-transparent on the PSP ;).

oh! really! thanks lemme try that now

[dangee]

It's opaque on Windows Lua Player, while it's semi-transparent on the PSP ;).

..so (alphaFlag=true) means
PSP: blit semi-trans.
PC: blit opaque

?

hi can i just ask what do i use to change .mid music to a format that lua can play

[dangee]

I played mono .wav in luaplayer PSP 2.0 but not stereo .

dont know a homebrew sound file converter..

PSPRHYTHM 7.1 have some new sound file capability..

[dangee]

local U=nil ; screen:blit(0,0,clouds,U,U,U,U,true)

local im=clouds ;
screen:blit(0,0,im,0,0,im:width(),im:height(),true ) -- more reliable
--
the im: versions ok
the U versions rong

if the 4 subimage args #4-#7 are Undefined ,
the alpha flag becomes opt. arg #4
so..

screen:blit(0,0,clouds,true)

..should work
NE1 confirm it?

DL modTracker (google it) then open your midi file (mid) and just save as an it. file, load it like "NameOfSong.it", Get a soda to complement your satisfaction for coding something that works, Donate 100 $ to me, and then your done!
