[AGS 4] changes in alpha channel related properties [SOLVED]

[Monsieur OUXX]

AGS 4

- The last parameter of DynamicSprite.Create used to be hasAlphaChannel. Now, it's an int named "format".
- Object DialogOptionsRenderingInfo used to have a property HasAlphaChannel which it no longer has.

The help file of AGS 4 has not been updated yet and I don't know where to look in the forums in order to find out where exactly those changes were introduced (and explained).

A little help?

I have very little free time lately with work and everything else but I've been working in writing the ags4 updates but this isn't done yet and there isn't a proper place for it yet.

For dynamic sprites the change is explained in this PR and by searching in the PRs there should be information on the existing changes.

For now my plan is to work in my own fork until I (or someone) have a good idea about where and how to update things

As always, this is free work done on free time, so I can't really dedicate as much now.

OK it's a bit clearer now, but what I fail to understand is if the alpha channel is still a thing or if it has been entirely obsoleted.

EDIT: I can see from the file's history that the alpha channel has been removed in april 2023 and it has nthing to do with the newly-introduced "format". So, what? Every sprite has an alpha channel now?

EDIT 2 : OK, I found this : https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags/pull/1813

Solved.

@Monsieur OUXX , since the latest release of ags4, the int format parameter has now been replaced by a proper enum and it's actually working now.
