use this code instead of VLF.DrawFrame()

VLF.UpdateFocus()
VLF_BG:activate()
VLF_BG:draw(-3,-3,484,275)
VLF.Draw_Waves(0,0,70)

question: what does that transparency function do anyway ?

[LXD]

question: what does that transparency function do anyway ?

the image transparency is used in several functions
e.g.
VLF.FadeObjects()
fades the objects (images)

VLF.Draw_Waves()
sets the wave transparency

VLF.GetBG()
adjusts the wave transparency

VLF.DrawFocus()
allows for the focus (animation)

...

BTW:The HM edition is about 60% done it should be ready next week.

[mootjeuh]

so, any progress? a release date for the LPHM version? I don't think that I can hold it any longer:Jump:

[homemister91]

I have given him a new version for testing. It should be compatible for the VLF.

[mootjeuh]

cool, so there will be any transparency functions ?

[homemister91]

yes, there is trasnparence functions for images and unique colors

[Mr_Shizzy]

I have given him a new version for testing. It should be compatible for the VLF.

Oh man. I am hyped !

Can't wait.
Thanks to both of you gentlemen for you work :)

You wont have a problem then since this is a library made in lua for lua afaik.

[mootjeuh]

don't wanna sound too hasty but, isn't the lib supposed to be released by now??
