I put together a very simple function to overlay two images (the top image uses transparency to see the one underneath) and get a new one from it.

The problem is not HOW to do it, but how to make it USEABLE!

Here is the code I have so far:



As you can see, the new image is rather large. It'd be easy to just accept any two values for the size of the new image, but in my specific case, I need it to be 800x600 (A camera)

This function WORKS, and works WELL, but is very slow

I blame the "get image" command, but consequently I'm not sure how else to do this without that command. Does anyone have any better ideas for this?

Well, i wanted to overlay two images, so taht I could use the resulting image as a texture for a 3d plain.

I don't use "set current bitmap" but the "get image" command works best with 5 perameters;

Get image Image Number, Left, Top, Right, Bottom, 1

Mortus, the point of this post is to find a way to do what I wanted withOUT using the "get image" command, as it runs very slowly if you try to use it every single loop in an active program.

The function already works and does what it's supposed to do, but as stated, it runs slow.
