.png file format doesn't draw correctly in GUI

by Christopher T. Morrissey · in Torque Game Engine · 02/19/2002 (2:45 pm) · 6 replies

when using the png file format in the gui a strange gray/white boarder is produced around the image.

Is this just a bug within torque or is it more of a problem with the png file format and the way it handels transparencys ?

And is there any fix for this, or alternative such as 2 bitmap files, one the graphic one the alpha mask ?

If your talking about a border around the bottom and right edge it is a bug in the stretching code.

the border is on all 4 sides of mine now when scalled correctly, i have tryed a few code snipits to try to fix this problem but noting seems to solve the problem compleatly, it may be nessicary to write png specific code

Tim Newell is the resident X(image)-Files investigator.

He's written a stretching image code "fix" to make sure the "ghost border" doesn't show up, but I don't know the status on it. This isn't a problem on my video card (why? CAUSE IT SUCKS!) so I guess there is one (and only) perk to having a junky video card.

Actually, this was just fixed in the head version by Mark (I believe). No additional fix needed.
