When I load an Image for example.
LoadImage (1,"player.jpg")

and set the Transparent Color to black.

LoadImage (1, "Player.jpg" )
SetImageTransparentColor ( 1,0,0,0 )

It is not setting the color to transparent. I have been looking at the RGB colors in Paint and know the color is set to the right RGB.

Am I missing something?

Looks right from the docs but I don't use it as I just do the transparent part when drawing and save as .PNG file as I find it easier and you don't have to add extra code as it loads in correct.

Is it anything to do with this also:

SetSpriteTransparency( iSpriteIndex, mode )


iSpriteIndex - The ID of the sprite to modify.

mode - The transparency mode for this sprite, 0=off, 1=alpha transparency, 2=additive blending

Thanks Paul! SetSpriteTransparency (Player, 1) did the trick.

I still cant get SetImageTransparentColor (id,r,g,b) to work.

Does paints RGB colors not match AGKS? I think its a user error(Points at myself).
I can just spend the time redoing all my backgrounds of my sprites to black.

I think AppGameKit auto uses RGB black as transparent.

Paint should be standard for rgb values but you could always try Gimp, its free and you never know. Worth a try you can also use Gimp to set transparent and save as .PNG so you don't have the messing, that's what I do. Easier lol.
