well i just want to know how they got the GUI
to be partly transparent
and the hp and mp bar on the screen like that

[Jacob]

I like to call it magic.

It's DX8.

[Doomy]

damn
so that means i cant do it with dx7 right?
is there a way to do it in dx7?

[Jacob]

Use this or this

[Doomy]

lol
i do that all the time too
i did a search for his game name to see if he explained it but i dont see anything
what should i search for?

[Kousaten]

DX8, dx8, DirectX8, Alpha blending, etc, etc.

[Anthony]

I believe there was someone who released a code which used FoxAlphaBlending (is that the right name?) to render bitmaps over the screen with partial transparency.

[Robin]

That was me

Basically, Doom, you're too retarded to code anything like this yet.

You struggled adding new map layers. This is waaay over your head.

[Doomy]

lol
well im still learning coding
and if i get enough money i was thinking of paying someone to do it
anyone interested?
XD
i want to make a unique game XD

[Rian]

You've gotta start small man. Go get your extra layers worked out. Use a copy of Mirage Source 3.0.3. It's probably going to be the easiest to learn from, as around 80% of the tutorials you find around here are for 3.0.3.

[Doomy]

i know thats why i picked 3.03
thats why dfa keeps saying why i choose that over ms4 XD
also i am having alot of help from alot of people so im learing
i cant believe i had trouble with layers i can do it in like 5 mins now with out tuts

[Robin]

You can always pay me to do it.

[Doomy]

how much would you charge?
if i can afford it i might do it

[Kousaten]

Trouble is, you've gotta get lucky to find him on a good programming streak. ;D

[scarra3]

Or he wont do it

[Doomy]

im not going to do it
ill just do it another way
with out it like that for now
cause if imma spend that kind of money its going to be for soemthing i really want


Also for those of you reading can you help me with remember username and password tutorial by braydok
it doesnt work for me there are no errors or anything it just doesnt save my username and password
i dont think it is an error on my part
But it might be something wrong with the code cause it looks like no one really liked it
so does anyone got an alternate to this way?
