Changing Transparency Color

[halla]

Ok I was told before I beleive the first pixel on the image sets the transparency but that doesnt work.. I change the first and it shows the color then. Im talking about for tiles.bmp or sprites.bmp

I want to change the transparency color from black because black is used a lot and thats stupid.

Thanks.

in modDirectX look for where it sets the key. Change that value to whatever.

Ok why are they 0's... I know black but isnt there more than 1 zero for that

Code:

' Set the key for masks
    With Key
        .low = 0
        .high = 0
    End With

nevermind I take it that its using the color constant for black

ok after trying that... its not that as that doesnt work.

Its fine I figured it out. It was working what I had someone is helping now and they had something changed I fixed it.

for others that don't know, its the rgb long value.
both low and high should be the same.

Two notes:
- I know this the old forum
- I know he said the hint how to get it above but I still can't get it to work

my code:

Code:

' Set the key for masks
    With Key
        .low = RGB(0, 117, 117)
        .high = RGB(0, 117, 117)
    End With
