I have a png texture with alpha, I'm wondering if there's a way to make the alpha areas a specific color?

Thanks!

with textureblend perhaps you might be able to pull that off.

Sure, just put a flat texture that has only the color you want below that png.
Whatever parts of the png are alpha'ed, the texture (meaning, color) below will show up.

What do you mean by "flat" texture?

I'm able to create this effect in Blitz3D with..

; Load textures
tex0=LoadTexture( "pcolor.png" )
tex1=LoadTexture( "power1text.png",2 )


; Texture cube with textures
EntityTexture cube,tex0,0,0
EntityTexture cube,tex1,0,1

;Texture Blend
TextureBlend tex0,1
TextureBlend tex1,1

But I can't seem to get the same effect in BlitzMax with MiniB3D

Flat texture I mean, only one color. The entire texture is filled with only one color.
