Hi all,
I’m creating a 2D game in OpenGL, and I’m using the following texture loader to load up my textures:
http://members.iinet.net.au/~cleathley/openGL/TextureLoader.htm
Some of you may recognise it, and I hope so! Because whenever I try to display a loaded up texture, it just comes out as whatever colour I last set glColor4f() to.
I have a 24 bit bitmap loader that loads the textures and displays them fine, however I can’t set an alpha value with that, so the backgrounds of my sprites show up, which isn’t helpful
So, would anyone be able to either:
A) Explain how to fix the problem I’m having with Chris Leathley’s texture loader.
Or B) Explain how I can make a single colour of a 24 bit bitmap that I’ve loaded up in OpenGL completely transparent (if it’s even possible)
Any help is greatly appreciated
Rob
