i need to know how to merge a pic, so i can merge it to a background. I've seen it done before where u make a pic in paint, make the background dark grey, load it infront of another pic in turing and theres a command in the call of the 2nd pic and it makes the grey see-through and u can see the first pic with the newly laoded one ontop...i need to know what to type in the picutres call statement... its for an new game i'm making, i'll post it here soon when its done..... 8)
thanks

you could use the Turing reference or search for the many topics already about this...
To merge a pic:
code:
Pic.Draw (picID, x, y, picMerge)
recneps

Yeah, just do what is below. It should merge white background, but I forget. Ok, but seriously, make it much easi er, and buy (or get pirated...*cough*) Photoshop. At t he bottom, ill explaain what to do in Photoshop to help.
code:

var pic : int := Pic.FileNew ("the_picture.bmp")
Pic.Draw (pic, 15, 20, picMerge) 
%The 15 represents the x co-ordinate of the bottom left corner
%The 20 represents the y co-ordinate of the bottom left corner
%the_picture.bmp represents the bitmap pictures filename


Ok, "File", "Import" the .bmp file. (Make sure it has white background, its easier) Use the 'Magic Wand' tool to select all the white background. Then "Delete" it . Goto your "Layers" window, ("Windows" --> Turn on Layers Window) drag the lay er called "Background" to the little garbage can, and delete it. Then go to "Help"...and click "Export Transparent Image"...pretty much just fo llow the instructions..or press enter or "Next" a bunch of times...and y ou will end up with your image, but the background is transparent. This eliminates th e hassle of PicMerge. Very Happy
