Joyce Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 I advice you to look into the DrawText sub, as well as the BltTile/Player/etc. subs.. They'll give you a basic idea on how to render stuff on-screen.. :) You'll need to program your own sub for it, ofcourse! But those will at least help you out some.

Dextrell Posted June 4, 2011 Author Share Posted June 4, 2011 ok i know i have visual basic 2008 but lets say what vb file do i have to open or what you're telling me is to go to client > graphics > main > chatbox picture and photoshop it and input an alpha % into it?

Joyce Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 That doesn't work. VB2008 won't work with Eclipse, and simply setting your chatbox's background image to be translucent doesn't affect anything. You'll need to rewrite the engine to use D3D8 for that to function properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
