Bug with Texturemodes?

Hi together.

Take a look at this little sample here. I create a texture with texturemode 1. This works really fine. BUT, if i create the same texture with texturemode 2 or 4 i can not write any text on the texture and the Writepixel Color is wrong, maybe black or something.

With other words, if u try to use a texture in mode 2 or 4 it is not possible to write text on this texture.

Is this a known Issue? I think it is a BB Problem because i can draw lines, ovals and rects but can not write text or set any point.

It's a known 'feature'. You shouldn't use Text (and possibly any other drawing commands on textures). Instead render to the BackBuffer and grab.

This works on some hardware and on some it doesn't. So: what Beaker said!
Using stringwidth, stringheight and copyrect will make it pretty easy.

The problem is the alpha (transparancy) channel is not being respected by the text command. Try calling this KeyImage function after you have finished drawing to your texturebuffer.

wow this is turning out to be a real problem for me... maybe it should be fixed
