Guest Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Add in .PNG file support to 2.7 is simple. Except it will never have transparency support, the reason is, DirectX 7 doesn't support it. If you want transparency, I would switch to 3.0.You can add Network Optimizations to the list, I am currently working on a ton increasing performance by 66.6% for just character loading alone (according to Mellowz statistics). So if that alone cant win you over, I dont know what will ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zade_o Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Oracle, read the thread. that PNG support isn't what the real use of PNG would be.That "PNG support" loads a PNG image then converts it to BMP and uses the BMP.I, as well as a few other people, realize that with PNG we can make glows and the likes. Basically you have a transparent background and a glowing spell and it won't show up as a big ugly block on the screen, it'll show up as a glowing spell. Really I just want my 2.7 converted to use DX8 so I can have better eye candy. I can't figure it all out though.I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
