I'm with troubles loading TGAs with transparency(Alpha channel), using SDL + OpenGL and SDLImage to load the TGA(Since SDL only loads bmp). The image loads, but it's been disfigurated? The colors become crazy or someting... Only using the SDL to display the image with the SDLsurface, the image looks great. But using a OpenGL surface, becomes crazy. What happens? Look at: http://geocities.yahoo.com.br/megaspeedlinux/snap.jpg

show yours glTexImage2D call. it looks like you are using GL_RGB for its format parameter, instead of GL_RGBA or GL_BGRA...

OK! That's it.
But the image do'nt show the alpha.
The rose color is a alpha channel, but is showing?

Are you using blending? Without it, the alpha won't be used.

Try glEnable(GL_BLEND); and glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA); for example.

Wow! That's great! Works very well. Thank you!!

Strange... I tried now with other image(a bit different), but the image don't load correctly

This is the image i'm trying to load, and i'm using like said:
glEnable( GL_BLEND );
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);

and...
glTranslatef( -0.578f, 0.2f, -1.4f );
glBindTexture( GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture[72] );
glBegin(GL_QUADS);
glTexCoord2f( 0.0f, 1.0f ); glVertex3f( -0.11f, -0.11f, 0.0f );
glTexCoord2f( 1.0f, 1.0f ); glVertex3f( 0.11f, -0.11f, 0.0f );
glTexCoord2f( 1.0f, 0.0f ); glVertex3f( 0.11f, 0.1f, 0.0f );
glTexCoord2f( 0.0f, 0.0f ); glVertex3f( -0.11f, 0.1f, 0.0f );
glEnd( );

Works for the other textures, but not for that. What is wrong?

Forget.....
It's a stupid error....
