Set and Get blend Failure
BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Beginners Area/Set and Get blend Failure

| Been gone a looooong time, so if you remember me, forget what I was. SetBlend and GetBlend, and maybe other related functions, I have not tested, fail. They produce a Unhandled Exception: Attempt to access field or method of Null object error I'm using Vista, which I guess could be the problem. But I want to rule everything else out first. This failure happens anywhere, not just in my code. All the examples I've found, what have you, also fail. Any ideas? A search returned nothing useful to me. Thanks! |

| Certainly. But that is good, because I hadn't considered other possible such conflicts. Remember, this failure happens not just with my code. It happens with samples and tutorial code also. Such as the code here: http://www.2dgamecreators.com/tutorials/gameprogramming/images/T3_Images.html Although, Ironically, the setblend(ALPHABLEND) example wouldn't have worked because of what you mentioned Plash. :) The MASKBLEND example also fails. As does simply trying to print getblend() in my main loop. (Which is after graphics has been called, of course) Any other ideas? [[edit]] You know, this might also be due to a poor install, now that I think about it. I mean, Graphics has to set the blend mode, so why won't the functions work? Maybe something between them got corrupted? I'm going to try a fresh install [[edit]] A reinstall seems to have fixed the problem. |
