If a game uses chroma keying with 565 textures then it wont work. It is fairly awkward to do. one way is to convert the 565 texture to a 1555 texture and set the alpha bit to zero just for the chroma key color, but that loses colour information. A better way is to use multitexturing, with one OpenGL texture doing the colour and the other doing the alpha. That's fairly difficult but the trick is already being used for AP88 textures so it may not be too difficult. I might give it a try. I think Extreme Assault suffers with the same problem, because there are some trees that have all their branches surrounded by black.

BTW, you have croc on one of those CDs, so you can test it and see. _________________ Athlon 64 3000+ stock MSI NForce 4 K8N Neo Platinum 2Gb RAM nVidia Geforce 6800GT stock clocks SBLive!

Yeh, I think you are right. Although Blood still has a tansparency problem and I'm pretty sure all the trextures are paletted, so it would have to be one of the Glide combine modes we don't support right.

That'll be easier than targetting Extreme Assault because I wont have Glidos in the way.
