@alex can you point me to some examples of this tricks or keywords i can google? from the opengl docs i read that the alpha blending is only correctly applied when the background is drawn before the alpha channel foreground is. well the terrain itself is only solid 32x32 pixels but i dont know of any map object that doesnt have a transparent or half transparent (shadow) area.
@tristam terrain layer actually is only one group as it is flat. well i dont understand how one could draw things with only 2-3 groups. imagine a texturegion from texture A being one map object and a texture region from texture B being another object. in some cases A is dawn in front of B and in other cases the other way round. this is why i have a parent ordered group for all the texture groups. this is also the reason why i just cant order all texture regions from texture A, draw them, order those from texture B and draw them too. this way incorrect ordering in some cases would be the result. maybe A is correctly drawn in front of B in the first case but in the second it was supposed to be the other way round and this is why i order them. actually the ordering is done in a very simple way: the higher the y coordinate of a map object the higher the order, so that objects are drawn from top row to the bottom and hence correctly overlap. i also though of a more optimized way to assign ordering. i could do some heavy math on resource loading and analyze all neighbors of an object. if there is one in front of it AND their boundaries actually overlap, then give this object a higher ordering than the tested one. this would result in a kind of tree structure and probably in overall less groups. i dont do this because of two reasons: first this would be really resource intensive and second and most important - map objects change places so that these orderings would change even after the resource loading and this combined with the testing of neighbor objects boundaries math involved would probably be overkill too. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pyglet-users" group.
