Title: Wrap mode on sprites
Post by: simmerd on September 20, 2009, 07:04:05 pm

Sprites are a great feature, but I want to use them for quick gui backgrounds, but I can't b/c the sprite texturing mode is set to clamp - which totally makes sense for a normal sprite.

But, it would be cool if there were a setting on the sprite to set the clamp mode to wrap/repeat.

Yes, I know I could use OpenGL... ;)

It's impossible because textures can be padded with white pixels (for GPUs not supporting NPOT dimensions).

You can also clone/repeat your sprite ;)

Which will be a bit hakish because we don't have clipping, yet. *shove* ;)
