I try to use png-images with alpha-channel, but all I get is a non-masked
image with some mess in it. When creating a surface, according to
documentation, SDL_SRCALPHA-flag is set if the image has an alpha-channel?
Ok. If I create the image to HW_SURFACE, does alpha-blending work because
SDL doesn’t support HW-accelerated alpha-blending? If the problem is
because of this, what should I do? Which buffers should I translate into
SW-buffers to make the blending work correctly. Or could this be because
of the png-format and IMG_Load-malfunction… or something…?
Make sure you’re using SDL_DisplayFormatAlpha(); not SDL_DisplayFormat().
If you don’t use SDL_DisplayFormat() at all, then 1) I don’t know what’s
going on, and 2) you really should use SDL_DisplayFormatAlpha!
