Hello, I have the following code which draws a layer of sprites, then draws another layer on top of them. But whenever I blit the second lot of sprites, it doesn't display them properly. I get this which I'm not expecting.



If I remove the second DXS BEGIN RENDER SPRITE section I get this as expected:



Also, how do I tell AdvancedSprites that my tileset has an alpha channel?

Here is my code:



Does the AdvancedSprites developer still come here?

Also, what is the point of DXS BEGIN SPRITE RENDER and DXS END SPRITE RENDER, these have to be 2 of the most confusing lines ever, why not just render as part of Sync?

I don't know anything about "advanced sprites" but are you sure that's how it's supposed to work?
If you can copy and paste the documentation (providing there is any) for the DXS DRAW SPRITE TILE function that may help.


Because it's a third party plugin, it cannot inject itself into the core sync function. Also, it is quite common to have begin / end functions; in this case the begin function probably sets up some required states and resources, maybe resets a list of the actual sprite renders to come, then you add items to that list with the DXS DRAW... calls and then the end function finalizes the list, presumably performs rendering and probably copies the result to a core DBP image, alternatively draws the resulting image directly to the output render target.
