Everything that will be transparent is black on the mask. Everything else is black. The background of the actual colour bitmap is black or white.
If you have a white background, copy the mask with vbMergePaint and the sprite with vbSrcAnd. If you have a black background, copy the mask with vbSrcAnd, and the sprite with vbSrcPaint.
ah, i should have phrased the q better...
i know how to use bitblt to make a transparent bg, but how do i make the mask? in photoshop let's say...what would be the steps to turn the coloured pics into their respective masks?
Look at my first sentence there...
You change everything that should be see through on the final pic WHITE not black as I previously mentioned. Turn everything else black. There is your mask!
ah i see, thnx a lot Sastraxi!
