Hi,

i'm having a bit of a problem with using png transparency.

from the image attached, you can see the background being show in area of transparency.

the background has a depth of 9999 and the dark green tile has a depth of 8999.
the tile with the issue can see blue and white even if it has a depth of 1(front).

has anyone encounter this issue or did i miss a setting?

any way, any help appreciated!

regards

The good news is that it's not bugged, it is working as expected. However I'm not quite sure what the problem is from your explanation?

Its hard to understand what the problem is from your explanation but I suspect the issue is in the image of the tile itself. If its drawn on a white background you're probably seeing the background colour bleed into the transparent area. If the image is very large and is being resized by AppGameKit before being displayed this problem would be more pronounced.

When I make my pngs I will have an object of a certain shape. Before I export the png with this shape as its transparency mask I will blur and duplicate a copy of it and flatten it to the background. This ensures if the image is resized there will be pixels of the correct colour in the transparent areas of the image.

Also, if I remember right and this hasn't been fixed, depths above some value (5000?) are assumed to be for 3D stuff and they are handled in a different part of the display building in the AppGameKit core.

It is best to use depths below 5000 (I think) for 2D stuff.

If this has been 'fixed' or my number is wrong, could some AppGameKit person please correct my misinformation?
