Hello,

I've noticed that textdraw box transparency is bugged in 0.3.8 - no matter what alpha is set, it still displays the same transparency

//EDIT: Adjusting transparency works, it just needs higher alpha, for example 0x00000080 to 0x000000dd for the same transparency as in 0.3.7.

Code:

TextDrawBoxColor(race_menu_bg, 0x00000080);

0.3.7:


0.3.8:

I was told an age old issue where textdraws rendered twice was fixed in 0.3.8 RC. As such, alpha for all existing textdraws will need to be adjusted for said change. Are you sure changing the alpha doesn't do anything though? I was able to update my textdraws just fine.

0.3.8 RC1
0x000000FF


0x00000088


0x000000AA


0.3.7
0x000000FF


0x00000088


0x000000AA

Code:

	td_box = TextDrawCreate(-5.000000, 132.000000, "box");
	TextDrawLetterSize(td_box, 0.000000, 22.498472);
	TextDrawTextSize(td_box, 180.130477, 0.000000);
	TextDrawAlignment(td_box, 1);
	TextDrawColor(td_box, -1);
	TextDrawUseBox(td_box, 1);
	TextDrawBoxColor(td_box, 0x000000AA);
	TextDrawSetShadow(td_box, 0);
	TextDrawSetOutline(td_box, 0);
	TextDrawBackgroundColor(td_box, 255);
	TextDrawFont(td_box, 1);
	TextDrawSetProportional(td_box, 1);
	TextDrawSetShadow(td_box, 0);

looks darker in 0.3.7

This is great news for us, it's a pity that Kalcor did not write about it in the update, maybe something else has been fixed?

Why do these things not get announced?

It's not deemed important?

In 0.3.7 R2 fixed a bug with the function GetWeaponName, nobody said anything about this either.

Sorry, false alarm. Changing transparency works indeed, it just looked like it doesn't, I had to change 0x00000080 to 0x000000dd to notice the change.

That's not true, you can still control the player while using TAB in 0.3.7 , but you can't rotate the camera with the mouse .

It's not custom TXD, using / \, v symbol and two box textdraw then u got that.

And that's what we call changelog.

If textdraws were being drawn twice it's understandable that the colours would be messed up. We all would just have to adjust our colours...

Black on Black = Darker Black
