Hi,

I have a problem with the BMP loader on Solaris. The BMP loader is apparently not compiled. Although the variable _IRR_COMPILE_WITH_BMP_LOADER_ is defined in the IrrCompilerConfig.h. The PNGs are not transparent in the game. Nevertheless Irrlicht compiled and works automatically. What libraries need the BMP loader? Why PNGs are not displayed with transparency?

System: OpenSolaris 5.11 i386 with Irrlicht 1.7.2

We do not use BMP anywhere in the game as far as I know.

Regarding PNG transparency, I have no idea, you would need to ask irrlicht folks (and check the drivers)

Correct, even the fonts are png. So most likely the problem is in handling of png files. Irrlicht has two options for libpng: either use the build in, or an external one. Perhaps trying both options would help?

Agreed as well. Try using any of the irrlicht demos and see if they have the same problem.

Cheers,
