Color Key is not working
Author
Hello again,
the following code is working properly, except for the fact that the color key is not working (all areas where it should be applied are black):
I''m not sure if this is it, but I had the problem and I found out that the color key number didn''t match the color number in the picture, because of diffrent resolutions or some such, try setting a color to zero and try with that, if it doesn''t work atleast you''ve eliminated that this is the problem.
I think the problem is that the alpha value loaded when creating a texture from a 24-bit bitmap is 0 instead of 255...I could be wrong though.

I suppose the color key itself is working, because the color on which it is applied is always presented in black. In my opinion, the alpha blending must cause some trouble...
Should I perhaps change texture states set earlier?

Colour keying is done through the alpha channel. Your texture doesn''t have one. Try using Format.A8B8G8R8.

Thanx, I have done this, and it kind of works, but there is still one prob: When I set these texture states
d3dDev.TextureState(0).ColorOperation = TextureOperation.Modulate
d3dDev.TextureState(0).ColorArgument1 = TextureArgument.TextureColor
d3dDev.TextureState(0).ColorArgument2 = TextureArgument.Diffuse
d3dDev.TextureState(0).AlphaOperation = TextureOperation.SelectArg2
d3dDev.TextureState(0).AlphaArgument2 = TextureArgument.Diffuse
the color key is ignored.
What should I reset after these calls so that the color key is working again?
d3dDev.TextureState(0).ColorOperation = TextureOperation.Modulate
d3dDev.TextureState(0).ColorArgument1 = TextureArgument.TextureColor
d3dDev.TextureState(0).ColorArgument2 = TextureArgument.Diffuse
d3dDev.TextureState(0).AlphaOperation = TextureOperation.SelectArg2
d3dDev.TextureState(0).AlphaArgument2 = TextureArgument.Diffuse
the color key is ignored.

Well, colour keying is done via the texture, and the above code sets the alpha to come from the Diffuse colour of the vertex...

You also need to enable Alpha testing.
No you don''t. Alpha Blending and Alpha Testing are 2 different things. Alpha Testing is generally a good idea with a colour key, but is not required at all.

When you specify a colour key in that call to load the texture what happens is all pixel instances of that specified colour in the texture are replaced with pure transparent black.
You need to enable alpha testing to not see the transparent bits when rendering that texture.
