Meh, I've been told off and on "it's the card," "no it's not," "yes it is," "no it's not," but Mancubus told me it is and since he knows more about that area of computers than anyone else I know, I trust his word.

Besides, which software? My OS or the program it's running in? jDoom shows black instead of transparency for me.
Have you tried updating the card drivers? This seems like something that could be resolved in software.

BTW, what card do you have?

That's something different but it doesn't have to do with the PNG file itself. Your graphics card apparently does not support a transparency mode jDoom uses but since I have absolutely no idea what it does with the PNG, I cannot say what is wrong. The only thing I know is that the PNG format is not at fault. BTW, what kind of card do you have?

May as well have a gif though...

you can make transparent pngs that ie users can see correctly, but they need to be 256 colors and you need to pick a color to be transparent

Indeed. I had to make my avatar a gif just for all these IE users.

Blame your software not your video card. The video card can only display what it is given by the software currently running.

I think its time for a smiley...

Come on, even among the members of this project you are the only one who is bothered by this. Probably you are the only one in the entire world who is. Is something as irrelevant as font spacing really worth the effort you are making here?

No, it's not a hub. If I recall correctly, ENTER scripts only work the first time you enter the level, so a hub wouldn't be desirable.

by Cyb » Sat Nov 15, 2003 11:08 am

sargebaldy want something stupid? I FIND THAT HARD TO BELIEVE

isn't Zoom a hub anyways? Does it actually use intermission screens? (I can't remember, I haven't played a beta in a while)

by Chilvence » Sat Nov 15, 2003 7:34 am

I have nothing to say.

THE SPACING IS UNIMPORTANT

*cough*

by Graf Zahl » Sat Nov 15, 2003 7:23 am

Somebody apparently does, as pointless as it is... ;)


And yes, it does not only sound stupid, it is! :P
