Last Try: Texture with alpha channel

hi there,

i am trying this for weeks now, and finally i have a code that should show a plane with a texture that has transparent parts, but it does not…
there are 2 planes and as one is behind the other i should see it through the ‘hols’ ( alpha 0 parts ) of the one in front… but nothing happens…

i will post the complete code here so you may test it on your system and tell me what i am doing wrong.

Thanx a lot for any ideea, if i cant get thisone done i will give up on programming opengl …

Add this to your display function:


glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glBlendFunc(GL_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
