Transparency Revisited

[AGP]

Not having solved the shadow problem yet, I decided to move on to this one. :- ) The following image shows the result of a pressed button not set and set to TRANSPARENCY_MODE_ADD. Obviously, neither is the desired result. I've also tried making the Texture with alpha information (currently, the background is a solic black), but that didn't help either. Please help. Edit: I should mention that these buttons are being blitted onto the FrameBuffer.

[EgonOlsen]

You have to use an alpha channel and create the texture with appropriate constructor (the one that takes the useAlpha-parameter) and blit it in default mode.

[AGP]

Thanks a lot, that did it. Now, I'm trying to get blitting to work on the same screen with the software renderer, but the result is as follows. I'm using the FrameBuffer's Graphics object, in this case, to draw the position of my buttons, because the OpenGL-rendered ones seem to be in the wrong place (does the FrameBuffer use a different coordinate system or should I just translate my mouse coordinates by the title bar's height?). Anyway, either way, it's not working in software.

[AGP]

I should mention that I removed the references to the FrameBuffer's Graphics object to see if it made a difference (did not)  and that the background image is 1024x1024 is 32-bits (which, come to think of it, must be the problem!).

[AGP]

OK, I converted the image to 8 bits and it still looks like the above screenshot. The following is the code that works for hardware but that hasn't been working for the software renderer:

     public void draw(java.awt.Canvas glCanvas) {
buffer.clear(java.awt.Color.black);
buffer.update();
buffer.blit(background, 0, 0, 0, 0, background.getWidth(), background.getHeight(), buffer.getOutputWidth(), buffer.getOutputHeight(), -1, false);
playButton.draw(buffer);
loadButton.draw(buffer);
introButton.draw(buffer);
quitButton.draw(buffer);
if (buffer.usesRenderer(IRenderer.RENDERER_OPENGL)) {
     buffer.displayGLOnly();
     glCanvas.repaint();
}
else buffer.display(glCanvas.getGraphics());
     }


[EgonOlsen]

Scaled blitting in the software renderer uses an Overlay internally. Maybe that doesn't work right (anymore). I'll take a look...

[EgonOlsen]

I made myself a test case blitting a 512*512 texture to a 128*128 quad and one 1024*1024 as a backdrop in 1920*1200...works perfectly fine!? How are you initializing the software renderer? It somehow looks as if you are using the legacy mode instead of opengl. Can you post the part that enables the software renderer?

[AGP]

Isn't OpenGL default, now? I'm not setting it to legacy.

Code Select Expand


     buffer = new FrameBuffer((int)(1024*engineData.widthMul +.5d), (int)(768*engineData.heightMul +.5d), FrameBuffer.SAMPLINGMODE_NORMAL);


[EgonOlsen]

Yes openGL mode is default. There's no additonal enableRenderer call in your code?

[AGP]

No.

[EgonOlsen]

Can you please post the complete log output!?

[AGP]

Looks fine. What are these xxxButton.draw()-methods doing? Does it change something if you remove them and only blit the background? Which version of jPCT are you using? The latest official release?

[AGP]

They blit the FrameBuffer individually. Not drawing them doesn't change anything. Using 1.25.

[EgonOlsen]

I need some test case then. It works fine for me, i can't reproduce this.
