We have the following sprite with such parameters

https://d.radikal.ru/d42/2006/33/c326115f6d46.jpg

And its function

PHP Code:


		
			
public fire()

{

    message_begin( MSG_BROADCAST, SVC_TEMPENTITY );

    write_byte( TE_FIREFIELD );

    engfunc( EngFunc_WriteCoord, OriginC4[ 0 ] );

    engfunc( EngFunc_WriteCoord, OriginC4[ 1 ] );

    engfunc( EngFunc_WriteCoord, OriginC4[ 2 ] += 35.0 );

    write_short( 2 );

    write_short( g_FireSprites );

    write_byte( 2 );

    write_byte( TEFIRE_FLAG_ALLFLOAT | TEFIRE_FLAG_ALPHA );

    write_byte( 20 ); 

    message_end();

}

Why in the game do I see him on a black background?
I tried to redo the sprite with different formats ... no sense.
Maybe this is due to the number of frames, instead of one? (Delirium)

What is needed or is everything right?

PHP Code:


		
			
    write_byte( TEFIRE_FLAG_ALLFLOAT | TEFIRE_FLAG_ALPHA );

When you edited the sprite, did you rename it to something else? As this the new would be downloaded.

If you did so, I'd suggest to try recreating it as "vp_parallel", if ain't working, set the format to indexalpha, maxbe the black ain't the needed black, so the first pixels will be picked to set the transparency.

If still not working, I'd play with the flags:

HTML Code:

TEFIRE_FLAG_ALLFLOAT        1        // All sprites will drift upwards as they animate

TEFIRE_FLAG_SOMEFLOAT       2        // Some of the sprites will drift upwards. (50% chance)

TEFIRE_FLAG_LOOP            4        // If set, sprite plays at 15 fps, otherwise plays at whatever rate stretches the animation over the sprite's duration.

TEFIRE_FLAG_ALPHA           8        // If set, sprite is rendered alpha blended at 50% else, opaque

TEFIRE_FLAG_PLANAR          16       // If set, all fire sprites have same initial Z instead of randomly filling a cube.

It was necessary to change everything

PHP Code:


		
			
write_byte( TEFIRE_FLAG_ALLFLOAT | TEFIRE_FLAG_ALPHA );

>>>>

PHP Code:


		
			
write_byte( 50 );

Above 50 - black background
