Question about im.AlphaMask

#1 Post by chisa-chan »

Just being curious, how should I write the im.AlphaMask code? And is the image that is used is like in the NScripter one (with silhouette on the right side?)

Thanks a lot.

What are you trying to do? If it involves using BMP files, I'll be zotting you.

The Ren'Py version takes two images, with the base image being the first, and the mask image being the second.

In Ren'Py, the mask should be black in areas of full transparency, and white in areas of full opacity. IIRC, this is the opposite of the way nscripter does it.

I don't try any bmp files. I only don't understand about how it works, really.

So, how should I write the code if I want to use this function? I don't understand @_@
