I was wondering if you (Randy) could add a new arg for translucency, or some other way to make text somewhat translucent, by a variable amount. I ask because graphics displayed on screen, and custom huds (like the ones LilWhiteMouse makes) could benefit.

How about a translucensy value for each pixel color on the image, so we could make some part of them solid and some parts ghost-like?

Yay alpha maps!

I think that'd be quite a cool idea actuallt.

my guess would be yes.

I'd guess no since they're probably mapped down to the current palette, and into whatever internal format it uses. Though I wonder if the resultant transparency has any bias from the alpha channel.
