Load PNG and ICO files with transparency.

Hy.

I just can't tell you how much i like this program, i already did a few nice autorun menus.
But i miss a fewature, the ability to load PNG and ICO (XP icons with shadows) images with their transparency (also known as "per pixel alphamap").

I know it might be hard, but it would be a very welcomed addition to APB.

Thanx in advance.

Hy

Currently I’m working an a new version of APB(1.4).
Even before you have written this lines, I’ve found on the Internet a free Delphi component, called TPNGImage, supporting partially transparency images, and I WILL INCLUDE IT in the new release. (find out more: pngdelphi.sourceforge.net/).

This new release of APB will also include:
- password Protection option - protect your project from being modified by others.
- A TMSAgent object that lets you use really easy the Microsoft agent technology – Load an agent character (egg: Merlin) and show it, make him speak some text, move him, etc.
- A TscrollingCredits object, a component which displays scrolling credits like at the end of movies, videos, etc.
- new functions to use in script.
- Some other cool stuff…<br>
Expect the new release in the beginning of January 2005, which means in less than a month (or at least I hope so).

Let me know what you think.

Best wishes,
Murariu Alexandru

Woaw, now that's exactly what i was hoping for.

Thanx in advance, i can't wait for the next release ;D

Anyway, i see that this "simple" program is getting more and more complex, which is a good thing since we can make more and more stuff with it.

P.S.
Multumesc pentru urari, si sa ai si tu parte de "Sarbatori fericite" si un "An Nou Fericit".
