Hi Giorgio,

yes, I see it working on your setup there. On mine, even in SuperBASIC, if I type in ALPHA_BLEND 128 directly, I get invalid name.

I've run the extras command to a file, searching the file shows no sign of the ALPHA_BLEND command there either. Very strange indeed.


I've done absolutely no configuration at all, I simply downloaded the win file, connected it as win1_ to QPC 4.00 and started it up. I left the F! Debug and F2 Setup screen alone, and the bird flew away and BP started.


Cheers,
Norm.

Hi Giorgio,

I'm using whatever version came with QPC 4.0.5 from this link - http://www.kilgus.net/qpc/QPC2-setup%204.0.5.10.exe - which I've just downloaded again, and reinstalled. Exactly the same problem I'm afraid. :(


Cheers,
Norm.

Just found out, PRINT VER$(1) gives 3.16.

Cheers,

Hi Giorgio,

yes, I know, 3.16!!! But that's what I got bundled with QPC2 4.0.5-10, so I'm rather stuck with it I suspect, unless anyone knows how to upgrade?

ALPHA_BLEND doesn't work on any version of QPC that I have, currently 3.33, 4.0.0 and the latest, 4.0.5.


Cheers and thanks for your help.
Norm.

That's very odd, Norman.

Can you share your QPC.ini file here?

It is possible in more recent versions of QPC to override the default SMSQE.bin file (default action is to look in the same folder for SMSQE) - I wonder if, even after reinstalling QPC, an older, adjusted QPC.ini file was left behind and is causing a legacy SMSQE.bin fiie to be used...
