I can't get gradients to show up in-game.
When I compile the bitmaps and put them in-game, the gradients get blended into 1 solid color instead. How do I setup my bitmaps so that gradients look the way they should be? Edited by Dumb AI on Jul 5, 2013 at 10:22 PM |

It would be more proper if you showed us the bitmap in guerilla (+ the alpha of bitmap) and what it looks like ingame.
Make sure you are compiling the bitmap with explicit or interpolated alpha (DTX3/DTX5) |

Besides it being inefficient, are there any problems with it that may affect how bitmaps look in-game? Edited by Dumb AI on Jul 7, 2013 at 11:32 PM |

Edited by Dumb AI on Jul 7, 2013 at 11:32 PM Did you edit the alpha in Photoshop/gurella? Also what kind of gradient do you want, visible, partially faded, etc.? Tell me, show me more and i can help. |

EDIT> Is it because your gradients end in solid blue even though you're working with shader_meters?

Edited by OrangeJuice on Jul 9, 2013 at 02:49 AM Why would you use shaders for a HUD? I wanted my HUD to have 80% opacity. As for the gradients, I want it almost exactly like Jesse's H3 shield bar. Transparent but still clearly visible.  I gave most of my bitmaps alpha (solid white). For my shield and health meter bitmaps, I gave them gradient alphas (black to white) Edited by Dumb AI on Jul 9, 2013 at 11:44 AM |
