klotzsmoke:
try using opaque alpha values in the colorMap, i.e.

Code: Select all

colorMap = 1 0.25 0 1 ... 0 0 0 1
klotzboom:
opposite of above, try using values of 0.01 for the alpha

Oh thank you! Thank you! you will be mentioned in the credit list thanks again!

it works perfectly fine the Smoke gets properly black
just the Sparkboom not

and i see there is on bitmaps black outlines gives there somewhere a function that makes it so? Or did you do that all manualy?

Edit: bah for those black square problemm i think i need new glasses i made a typo <.<

If the alpha values near the borders aren't going down to 0 you'll see outlines. Are you using TGAs with proper alpha channels?

use a png or TGA and go into gimp/ photo shop to make sure the edges have 0 (pure black) alpha channel
