[1.7.10]How would I make an image inside a gui more transparent?

Posted March 7, 201510 yr

So I need to make an image that fades away. I know how to do it with strings by changing the alpha in the hex number. Would I use the OpenGl's color4f function, to make it more transparent? Or is there an easier way, or would that not work.

I'm back from being gone for... I think its been about a year. I'm pretty sure nobody remembers me, but hello anybody who does!

First of all, you need to make sure that your image file has an alpha layer, which you can add with any decent image editor (such GIMP, PhotoShop, etc.).

Then you need to use GL11.glBlendFunc(GL11.GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL11.GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA) before you render your image. See example.

This method will render the png with however much alpha transparency you gave it in your editor, but I'm sure there is a GL function that will let you adjust it dynamically.

Well I need it to fade slowly. So Im not sure if I have an alpha layer, will let me fade it away, unless I can find a GL function for it.

Yes the OpenGL color4f should work. Create your image with 100% alpha on the visible parts, turn on alpha blending as per Alias' example, set GL11.glColor4f with your alpha, and it should be fine. If it doesn't show us your code and a screenshot.

Alright. Thanks.

I love how even though TheGreyGhost, has one of the best tutorials online about modding; CoolAlias, with his awesome tutorials and mods; jabelar, also with his awesome tutorials; diesieben07, with his awesome mods, are all really famous, in their own way, yet still help out the forge community. Thank you guys, for all your wonderful help!

New Forum Design/Update: Issues and Suggestions

Hiho,

first of all I want to say that the new forum design looks really good.

However, there are currently two issues:

In the "Unread" section, the "Mark all as Read" feature seems to be missing - or am I just overlooking it somewhere?
Some threads don’t automatically get marked as read when you open them. So the post still shows up in "Unread," even though you’ve already viewed it.
Example Thread: https://forums.minecraftforge.net/topic/159415-cannot-find-client-log-entries/

Then I have a smaller suggestion, referring to the Text Editor:

It is possible to move out the "Inline Code"-Feature from the "More Formatting Options" and add it directly to the Text Editor Tool Bar?
Same for "Quote"-Feature inside the Create Section

These two features are used quite often (at least by me) - as far as I remember, they were also available in the old forum design.

Trying to boot MC Eternal 2 Server, works on linux not on Windows 11: Jvm args error

That fixed it! it's still being weird and not actually printing anything to CMD but the logs look fine and eventually the gui generated looking normal. Thanks for your help I've done that on linux before but windows servers have always just worked with one click for some reason for me

Make sure you are using Java 17 JDK

In the start script, replace the word "java" with the java 17 path (javaw.exe) and put it into quotation marks

NEED HELP ASAP - Failed to load datapacks, can't proceed with server load. You can either fix your datapacks or reset to vanilla

There are client-side-only mods in your server - start with removing justenoughbreeding

NEED HELP ASAP - Failed to load datapacks, can't proceed with server load. You can either fix your datapacks or reset to vanilla

Hey there, I have a big modpack I'm trying to run that I've put together with two other rather large communities- we have a grand opening scheduled for next week so it's really important that this gets solved ASAP.

The game runs fine in singleplayer, but when trying to run as a server using a hosting website, I've run into quite a massive error log. I've whittled it down to this point- I'm currently not sure what to do, as I believe the main error is relating to the datapack message, but I don't know for sure. Removing the datapack folder doesn't change the message either.

If the fix is something very simple, I apologize. I'm not too experienced with hosting websites and running large modpacks like this on a server.
I'm also not completely sure of which mods are client-only- a large handful of which are already disabled but I could be missing some. I just don't know which ones they would be, if that's causing the issue.
