Ortho Sprite Strips [Resolved]
Author
I want to make my sprites in tga strips so that they can be animated, if all my sprite sub images will be squares (say 64 x 64) how can I automatically break up the image into its sub images. Because I don't want 10,000 external recourses for each frame of every sprite.
Is there an example of this that includes transparencies as well, because thats bugging me too :P.
I don't really want to use sdl, cus' I prefer to just use pure OPGL, not it's sub libraries.

I can't get it to work, and that tutorial is confusing, it doesn't really explain what everything does.
Heres the code i'm using:

#ifdef _WINDOWS#include <windows.h>#endif#include <gl/gl.h>#include <gl/glu.h>#include <math.h>#include "Game.h"// disable implicit float-double casting#pragma warning(disable:4305)CGame::CGame(){}CGame::~CGame(){}bool CGame::Init(){ // clear to black background glClearColor(0.0, 0.6, 0.0, 1.0); m_Uncompressed = new CTargaImage; if (!m_Uncompressed->Load("Test.tga")) return false; glGenTextures(1, &m_Sprite); return true;}bool CGame::Shutdown(){ glDeleteTextures(1, &m_Sprite); m_Uncompressed->Release(); delete m_Uncompressed; return true;}void CGame::GameLoop(){ glColor4f(1.0f,1.0f,1.0f,1.0f); glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D); glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA,GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA); glAlphaFunc(GL_GREATER,0.1f); // clear screen and depth buffer glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT | GL_DEPTH_BUFFER_BIT); glLoadIdentity(); glEnable(GL_BLEND); glEnable(GL_ALPHA_TEST); glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, m_Sprite); // Select The Correct Texture glBegin(GL_QUADS); // Start Drawing A Quad glTexCoord2f(0.0f,0.0f); glVertex2i( 20, 148); // Bottom Left glTexCoord2f(1.0f,0.0f); glVertex2i(276, 148); // Bottom Right glTexCoord2f(1.0f,1.0f); glVertex2i(276, 20); // Top Right glTexCoord2f(0.0f,1.0f); glVertex2i( 20, 20); // Top Left glEnd(); // Done Drawing Quad}
You could hae a 256x256 image and break it up into 16 64x64 sprites. Store them as sprite[0] to sprite[15]. In an index file store the anmiation keyframes, like 'jump' could be: 0 12 4 2 0, so that sprite[0], sprite[12], sprite[4], sprite[2], sprite[0] when shown one after the other make a jump.
How to do transparency is mentioned well in the wiki article- enable alpha testing, set the glAlphaFunc to GREATER than a small value such as 0.1, enable blending with BlendFunc (SRC_ALPHA, ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA), and draw your half transparent sprite.

thats what i do in my code, but it still shows up with a white background, i just want the image without the white background.
It's also not showing the image anymore. ><

THe Code is Correct the only thing you have to do is use GL_RGBA instead of GL_RGB when you load your images using glTexture2D
In glTexImage2D. Also make sure you've enabled alpha testing.
edit: also, make sure the image you're loading has the alpha channel. Since your code says tga, I don't think anyone clarified that point. Leaving portions 'white' or any other color won't make them transparent - there is no automatic colorkeying in OpenGL. You need to have the alpha channel, and set source format and internal format as GL_RGBA in glTexImage2D. (This is assuming you don't have the alpha channel, of course, if you have, then you're already laughing [smile]).

how do i add alpha channels to my image? is it something that must be done in my photoshop program, or does ogl handle it?
in the tga loader class theres an rgbtorgba function, but it takes 'unsigned char alphaValue' as an argument, shoudl i use this? and what should the agument value be?
[Edit]:
ok i've changed my code to this:
I've added the glTexImage2D(); and the image shows p[roperly, but when i change the GL_RGB -> GL_RGBA it causes the following runtime error:
