If the small piece of code i posted above doesnt work then I have no idea. If it does work but your still having problems with your program then it may be worth posting more code for us to have a look at.

One thing to note is that the StartText and Endtext have to be fairly close together, you cant have loads of code inbetween. Also any changes to the display mode clears the d3d settings.

It works, it just appears transparent when i print over exisitng text, I need the equivalent of

Set Text Opaque, but for D3D.


If what you said makes it opaque, then how would you make it appear transparent over a background ?

D3D_Init
D3D_Font 2,"Arial",9,1,0,1
D3D_Color 255,255,255,255

do
d3d_starttext
D3D_Text 2,200,200,2,"How do I make this text Opaque?"
wait key
D3D_Text 2,200,200,2,"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
d3d_endtext
Sync
loop

This shows what i mean, the text is transparent and there doesnt seem to be a flag to set to opaque...

Ok, im not quite sure what your trying to do here as that code looks wrong. you wont see the first piece of text appear untill it runs the d3d_endtext, as thats after the waitkey and the 2nd line of text your seeing all mixed together.

try this, is this what your expecting?

Do you mean you want an opaque background behind the text?

If so you might need to add a d3d_box behind the text. You can determine the size of the box required using the text width and text height commands in d3d.
