Alphamode default

[Crivens]

Alphamode seems to get reset to 0 after drawing a sprite (or perhaps zoomsprite it's difficult to tell, but it does reset at some point when drawing sprites). Is there a way to set the default value of alphamode? Basically I pretty much use -1 for everything to get all the correct alpha values, and rarely want to use anything else. Just a bit annoying to have to put ALPHAMODE -1 all the time. To be able to say DEFAULTALPHAMODE -1 would be great.

Yes, ALPHAMODE (with a few other commands) get reset after the SHOWSCREEN command.  A command to set a default value would be useful...

Ocean:that is what I ask for in the first post

As for setting to -1 at the end well some commands seem to reset it

I think only SHOWSCREEN should reset ALPHAMODE, if a DRAWSPRITE or ZOOMSPRITE resets it, it is probably a bug?

This is what I found.. and it's not just SHOWSCREEN, because it honestly seemed like every time I had a new function that drew something I had to call ALPHAMODE again. My guess was that it somehow was related to the scope you call it in...
