that's good news! thanks a lot I think a lot of newbies cluebies around here like me will be very happy with this perhaps it's even worth stickying because almost everyone new to lwjgl can learn a great deal from nehe's tutorials with your code

I got it now, I was just unsure about whether the textureloader was already doing transparency because of .hasAlpha() stuff in it. But the way you showed it works perfect, and I also know where to look now if I want more. So thanks!

I'm really in need of some help on getting alpha channels/png's with transparency to work. I would like to have png's in some transparent form, but I have no idea what the problem is, I tried almost all options in formats but I'm either getting a NullPointer error which stops the game from running, or my texture is colored black (the background color) instead of being transparent, I'm having another texture moving behind the transparent one. Could anyone give me some pointers? or do I need to dive into blending/masks instead of just using the textureloader from this topic?

This should be enough to get you going though. I'm using these files along with Jcreator and for me it works like a charm, I can compile and execute my files from within the IDE, which is very nice. P.S Sorry for the messy coding, especially on the GL initialization stuff, all the files work though

I got them to work by combining the code from this file, which is the lwjgl/java code of nehe's first 13 lessons or something: http://members.rogers.com/mark.bernard/ with the nice game loop from this thread: http://www.java-gaming.org/cgi-bin/JGNetForums/YaBB.cgi?board=cluebies;action=display;num=1082112442 If you'd like I could post the code for lessons 2-5, just shout

roger that, sir! thx for the reply

8	Game Development / Newbie & Debugging Questions / LWJGL 2d sprites/quads?	on: 2004-05-05 22:03:28
Ok I've managed to put a quad on my screen with a png texture on it, using lwjgl. But I've read a lot of stuff about lwjgl and opengl the last few days, and I remember that using quads is probably not the most efficient way to display a lot of 2d graphics on the screen. Is there another, more efficient way of displaying 2d graphics, I think it has something to do with sprites? And something I also havent looked into but might have to do with it is fustrum. Anyway I'm unsure which way to go now. My goal is to make a 2d isometric game, and I know about orthographic projections. I was a bit unsure whether to put this in lwjgl or newbie forum, because I guess it's both

thanks for the help, I got the texture on a cube now! celebrates

I'm trying to use your code to get lwjgl to display a 2d png image on the screen, however I'm a bit stuck

in my init I have

1 2	TextureLoader textureLoader = new TextureLoader(); Texture fontTexture = textureLoader.getTexture("font","data/test.png");

I also declared fontTexture at the top using:

1	private static Texture fontTexture;

then in my render part I have:

1	fontTexture.bind();

everything works fine when I leave the bind() part out, but when I put it in I get the following output:

Loading texture data/test.png to ID: 1 wrap:true mipmapped:false
java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.lwjgl.examples.Game.render(Game.java:170)
at org.lwjgl.examples.Game.run(Game.java:115)
at org.lwjgl.examples.Game.main(Game.java:45)
Press any key to continue...

This should probably go into the Clueless Newbie section, because my main question is of course how the hell do I get a 2d sprite on the screen using lwjgl. I figured on the texture loading, I've done the first 5 nehe tutorials with success. I had a look at the Space Invaders 103 tutorial. But I can't get it to work Sad

So I guess I'm clueless, but I'm just missing something.

this one is running a bit smoother than the java2d version, winxp ti4600 512mbr Hope the tutorial will be up soon too bad u didnt use lwjgl tho

EDIT: sorry for the confusion but everything is working correctly now, I did it all over and I must have made a stupid mistake in the init somewhere

Being the clueless newbie that I am (I read all the basics/essentials from the sun's tutorial and am able to draw some stuff in java2d) I really thank you for putting this up

I was struggling through some 2d tutorials which introduced me to a lot of methods for getting timers up and getting a gameloop to run at a proper FPS. And finding this was a pleasant surprise. Especially because all the test were working (except the grass, it gives me exceptions even while I have a nvidia card) and I got it into jcreator perfectly. Everything compiles perfectly and is working

So thanks a lot and hopefully I'll be able to make a game in a month or something like that.

Now let's grab some opengl book or some tutorials

EDIT: I got NeHe's tutorials for java, and I figured a lot of the code just does the window creating which can be done easier since version 0.X. So I copied this code into my render function, but I aint getting any polygons on my screen, no errors either.
