Well, it still didn't work with the shader, but your suggestion did put me on to something that worked...

When I was using SetBlending, I was NOT clearing the screen each time. If I do SetBlending to 255, clear the screen, then SetBlending to the fade value, then plot my image, it works as expected.

I can't say I quite understand why that is, but it is working, so I'll understand later :)

I'd still like to know what was wrong with my pixel shader though... It seems pretty straight-forward. By the way, I did try resetting to the default shader and then clearing the screen, then doing my custom blitting, but that didn't make any difference either.

Thanks again Pam! :)

The winner is...

Postby fzammetti » Jan 15, 2003 @ 4:00am

I won. Well, technically Pam won, but I'm taking credit for it ;)

Seriously though, she did find the solution, posted above, it did work in the end.

I can also report that, after all the effort, I got better results by simply using the blending setting. I'm not sure why the shader didn't give as good a results (not even sure what was different, but you can tell watching it), and other parts of the project are more important, so I'll figure it out some other time.

I would however suggest that if anyone needs to do fade effects, blending is probably the easier and better way to do it (Pam can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think blending is just a function of the default shader anyway?).

The game I'm working on will be out in March, you can see where I used it then (it's pretty obvious and right at the start).
