Direct Client 1.16 is out now. I fixed a bug with the png transparency loading. As i try some out in the last versions with png loading, i forget a code line in the loader, so it don't handle a special palette index situation right. This is fixed now. Notice, that the dx client reads in gray color (which uses alpha mask for transparency) and alpha masks with transparency, but the client don't show the transparency right. Thats because in future the png loader is changed, so it tranfers the alpha mask in a native format to directX or openGL. For true color pngs the client handles all pixel with the RGB value 0 as transparent, so its IS possible to use true color pngs with transparency- even without alpha mask. Perhaps the unix client can handle this too, then we have a easy transparent format for true color. ** Notice that even the Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer have problems to handle all true color pngs with alpha mask and 8bit alpha masks too. Both are counted from png host as not 100% compatible. ** T
