transparent
Author
i'm having some trouble again with my transparency... my sprites are being rendered with depth test and depth mask on and blending turned on with glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA); as the blending function. BUT, in places where my texture has alpha of 0, it doesn't show the sprite behind it, it shows black, as if the color is black with alpha of 255. what's wrong?
Are you drawing your sprites in the correct order?
Also, I believe that the correct term is transcluency, not transparency. A transparent object is invisible =)

the objects don't need to be drawn in order, that's what the depth test is. and when i say transparent, i mean part of my sprite is transparent (alpha 0) and a lot is opaque (alpha 255), the part that's 0 is not showing the sprite behind it, it's showing up black
When you load it, are you loading it as GL_RGBA?
Also, try rendering it with the depth mask disabled.

With alphablending the drawing order DOES matter...
Have you set the correct vertex color before the texture draw eg. glColor(255,255,255) ?

sounds like you need alpha testing, not blending:
glEnable(GL_ALPHA_TEST);
glAlphaFunc(GL_GREATER, 0);
note that with blending enabled, you might have blurry edges where the draw order *does* matter, even with alpha values of only 0 and 255. i think openGL does this to make it look smoother.

well that fixed it, is there a way to disable the "smooth" thing? because it's like I see a fine line of black pixels at the edge of my texture that has the alpha test

if i can't do that, how ELSE am i supposed to get sprites to look correctly?? i need blending, i obviously need alpha testing, and i need depth testing and mask.
Try moving your texture coordinates slightly towards the initerior of your texture (i.e. 0.001 instead of 0.0 and 0.999 instead of 1.0). Due to sampling inaccuracies there might be a "seam" at the border when using exact coordinates.
