Alright, I almost figured this out. I narrowed down where the problem probably is. And I''m using old DX7.

  for (int rowcount = 0; rowcount < rows; rowcount++)
	{
		for (int columncount = 0; columncount < columns; columncount++)
		{
			//tile number

			tilenum=columncount+rowcount*columns;

			//texture coordinates

			//we must skip one pixel so colomn/row count is doubled when adding

			recSearch.left = (TileDim * columncount) + columncount;
			recSearch.top = (TileDim * rowcount) + rowcount;			
			recSearch.right = (TileDim * (columncount+1)) + columncount;
			recSearch.bottom = (TileDim * (rowcount+1)) + rowcount;
			  

This is my for my regions, which I actually don''t use in their RECT form. The image is 65x65. TileDim = 65 (height AND width of the image, and yes, it is 65x65).

  DDSD_Clear(&ddsd);
			ptiSpriteList[tilenum].lpddsSprite->Lock(NULL,&ddsd,DDLOCK_WAIT,NULL);

			//grab pitch and surface pointer

			lPitch=ddsd.lPitch/sizeof(WORD);
			pSurface=(WORD*)ddsd.lpSurface;

			//loop through pixels

			for(x=recSearch.left;x<(recSearch.left + TileDim -1);x++)
			{
				for(y=recSearch.top;y<(recSearch.top + TileDim -1);y++)
				{
					  

This is the actual alpha blending loop. I know some figure is off somewhere. But for the life of me I can''t figure out what. Oh, and the surface that is being written to is 64x64 (has to be divisable by 32). However recSearch.left (0) to recSearch.left + TileDim -1 (64) should be ok... First I tried without an alpha mask in the texture. Then it displayed almost nothing. Then I tried with an alpha mask. The program actually displayed everything BUT the transparent colour. Can anyone lend a hand? Please? --gmx

Sorry, I didn''t specify this - I am using DirectDraw surfaces with a Direct3D-based engine. Basically, textured triangles. Using colourfill won''t work.

And I left out the alpha blend code because I KNOW that works. I am thinking its either my region code or my loop code (not what is inside the loop, the loop itself).
