| I've just finished converting a laser system for my current project from seperate sprites to a single surface system with quads. However now that I've finally got everything else working correctly the lasers are appearing much darker than they were with sprites. 
 With sprite system I loaded them in with LoadSprite("path\file.bmp") without any flags.
 
 With quad system I apply the texture to a blank layer (again without any flags) but it comes out much much darker.
 
 I've tried using various commands such as EntityBlend, EntityFX, TextureBlend, and the flags in LoadTexture and I cant seem to get it back to how it was.
 
 The lasers are meant to be semi transperent, but they used to glow nicely and now they dont :-\
